American cars are getting hip again. From 50 Cent Makes Pitch to Get 2006 Charger:
“I need to know what I gotta do to get that Dodge Charger first. I need that,” 50 Cent told Myles Kovacs, publisher of auto customizing publication Dub Magazine, in a telephone message last week made available to The Detroit News.Chrysler is rushing to get 50 Cent what he wants, as it did last summer when rapper Snoop Dogg asked Chrysler division chief executive Dieter Zetsche for a Chrysler 300 sedan. The Snoop Dogg connection brought the automaker welcome cachet in the youth market.
I’m not sure that the 2006 Dodge Charger captures the spirit of the original.
