Huh? But the person renting it isn't a drug dealer? What's the actual problem with the car?



I'm not sure where you are from but the only people who drive Chrysler 300s are drug dealers or really old people. It's just a strange car to drive.

Logically, there's nothing wrong with a Chrysler 300, but emotionally, everything is wrong with a Chrysler 300.

And we humans happen to be emotional beings. Well...some of us.


You have to be so cross when you produce a car and that’s what happens to your client base. What do you do? Give it a facelift? Test when dealers don’t like it? “No no we want you to tell us which one you like least.”


In USA and certain degree Canada though "older people" is a huge rich client base. It's not necessarily a miss! Cadillac got re-cooled around second Matrix movie, but for a long time real estate / insurance agents and above-55 was basically their sum total audience (drug dealers aside :)... And it may be getting back there.


Several other groups of people drive them, too. The drug dealer thing stems from its perception of being classy in the first place.

For an actually useful comment, the original commenter seems to have left a good response.
