Return of Dodge, New Charger...Can we see a new Valiant?

[Luciferous]

Chrysler have confirmed (at last check) that Dodge will definately be returning to Australia sometime, and now Dodge are looking at a new Charger. With RWD architecture from past Mercs and the reintroduction of Dodge to help some more Chryslers through I reckon a resurrection of the Valiant nameplate could be the way to go. I know the idea probably isn't feasible but damn i want it to happen. Pity Chrylsers run by a bunch of retards...

Hang on isn't a Aussie guy incharge of Chrysler or was that foMoCo ???

[Luciferous]

can't help you out there... but the head of chrysler australia lost his leg in a crash when a FWD hit him on his R1, thats pretty much all i know about Chrysler Australia... apart from them being a shitty little subsidiary that has a grand total of 2 products in its range

Jac Nasser was an Aussie and he was the previous Ford US boss....what i thinks stupid is theres a boss of all the Ford subsidies, like here, US, Brazil, Uk etc. then theres the FoMoCo boss.....but year, Jac Nasser used to be head honcho before he got the flick in 2001

[SlickHolden]

No w you would think a Aussie would do a great job over there wouldn't you ?
But he was a boof head so my bro tells me lol

[fpv_gtho]

well hes obviously done something wrong.....some people would probably find it hard to believe 2 people like Jacques Nasser and Geoph Polites came from the same country and ran the same country

[SlickHolden]

Yes that's very true one is a ok bloke the other is a I can't think of a nice way to say it so i'll just say what's on my mind, A Incompatant Boof head with a brain stuck in 1920 but wanted to build cars of 2010 in 1998 :Eeek:

bring back the Valiant! my dads always nagging me to track down a Valiant type R?

[fpv_gtho]

good luck, ive never heard of them before

I think Open Road (NRMA) did a special once and talked to some Ford and Holden designers about what they thought the Falcon and Commodore would look like in 2010.....surprising what they came up with for the Falcon still had alot of AU influenced stuff

[Blue Supra]

Well i cant remember what it was exactly, ill look it up...

[Blue Supra]

Seen too many jap cars....

anyways its the Series "R" he wants... rare as friggin ducks teeth they are and cost a fortune when you find one!

[fpv_gtho]

Well i doubt it'll set him back more than a Phase3, theyre getting over $120K now

[Luciferous]

Did the R series have push button auto as well? Man, Chrylser shoudn't have ditched that.

[Blue Supra]

it did actually, i think thats half the reason he wants one

[fpv_gtho]

man the last time i saw a push button auto was when i got stuck standing at the front of the bus
