GTP Cool Wall: 1981-1989 Dodge Aries

[Grandea GTR]

You'll have to wait a year for that.

On a single car, huh? You probably don't even know the insides of it.

 

[The87Dodge]

Tell me, did the Dictionary need proofreading?

I'll bet it did.

On a single car, huh? You probably don't even know the insides of it.

I can see the interior of the car just by playing Gran Turismo.

 

[Famine]

No, you guys just need to wait a year.

If you were as informed as you think you are, you'll that upwards. Very upwards.

That may be your view, but my view is different. Everyone has their own opinions.

I said it wasn't memorable and you came out with a list of things manufacturers put in press releases. Hey, it's comfortable y'all! Well, that's etched in my mind for all time, because no other car does that.

Got anything actually memorable?

I can see the interior of the car just by playing Gran Turismo.

 

[-Fred-]

I honestly think there's not much good left to be done here...

 

[LivingWithGames]

Hardly heard of this thing, let alone see it much obviously. SU.

Also, just posted today, and already ****ing 8 pages? Christ.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Fast forward to February 28th, on the day before release:

 

[Grandea GTR]

I can see the interior of the car just by playing Gran Turismo.

And here, ladies and gents, you can see that this man here is a fraud.

If you honestly know 80s cars on such a high level of intelligence like you claim to have, then you should already tell me about it in a jiffy.

 

[TB]

1,000s of pages of words.

The American Auto: Over 100 Years is 704 pages. You're going to need a whole pile of pointless fluff to stretch out one decade of one manufacturer to 1,000 pages.

Kazunori Yamauchi?

You're going to need a whole pile of pointless fluff to stretch out one decade of one manufacturer to 1,000 pages.

To be fair, with the rate this thread's going at, I wouldn't be too concerned about him filling all those extra pages.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Kazunori Yamauchi?

Uh, no. Look at yourself in the mirror.

 

[Tornado]

Aries isn't as typical as the other 80's compacts, and I think you know why.

Because other manufacturers didn't build their entire model range off of their 80s compact? Because most other manufacturers didn't keep it around long past its sell by date?


I mean, GM did do both of those things and suffered for it far more than Chrysler did, but I thought the argument was that the Aries was cut from another cloth from the Cavalier?

though it is lightly amusing that you've again forgotten that Volkswagen and BMW are things that existed.

I wouldn't wish a 1980s American market Volkswagen on anybody unless they could trace it to make sure it didn't come from Westmoreland.

 

[TB]

Kazunori Yamauchi?

I'll say this slowly:

Video.

Games.

Aren't.

Real.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

To be fair, with the rate this thread's going at, I wouldn't be too concerned about him filling all those extra pages.

I'll go one farther and say I'd be shocked if he fills even a page at this rate.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Real.

But but
If you die in the game you die for real

 

[Obelisk]

Welp, there goes my e-mail...can I change my vote? I hit sub-zero accidentially.

 

[Famine]

I already stated what was memorable about the car.

No, you stated a press release list of meaningless terms.

Do you think that no other cars ever have been comfortable? Do you think that no other cars ever have had a quiet ride. Do you think that no other cars ever have been 'technological'? Do you think that no other cars ever have had an interior? Do you think that no other cars ever have been low priced? Do you think that no other cars ever have had a high fuel economy? Do you think that no other cars ever have had a good build quality?

If you think the answer to any of those is "yes" you're delusional. If you - correctly - think the answer to all of them is "no" then none of those things on your list are memorable things.

So what's memorable about it? What does it do that other cars don't - or that it did first - that give people cause to remember it?

 

[Grandea GTR]

Welp, there goes my e-mail...can I change my vote? I hit sub-zero accidentially.

Forever it will be burned into history, unfortunately.

 

[The87Dodge]

The American Auto: Over 100 Years is 704 pages. You're going to need a whole pile of pointless fluff to stretch out one decade of one manufacturer to 1,000 pages.

But my encyclopedia will include every make and model, detailed information about every make and model, specs for every make and model, and pictures for every make and model. I'll even touch on finances of the companies, little known companies, and little known models like the Dodge Omni 024 DeTomaso Edition.

Uh, no. Look at yourself in the mirror.

I think I look handsome.

I'll say this slowly:

Video.

Games.

Aren't.

Real.

But games like Gran Turismo and Forza, in terms of car detail, are very close to real.

 

[TB]

But but
If you die in the game you die for real

That's The Matrix.

can I change my vote? I hit sub-zero accidentially.

Yes, yes you can.

So what's memorable about it? What does it do that other cars don't - or that it did first - that give people cause to remember it?

Is "going through headgaskets like they're a bag of crisps" something memorable? Because it certainly did that.

Nooooooooooooo-
I changed it to SU.

Yeah, keep in mind that you got

Rover got there first. WAY first.

I have that book. The Aries I think may have two paragraphs.

Of course I know that other cars were quiet and comfy. Hundreds of other cars were (some will be in my encyclopedia). It just that for it's time, the Aries was more comfy, quieter, higher quality, than any other American compact you could purchase.

It started a trend of lackluster cars from Chrysler that is still going strong today. That counts for something, right?

 

[Grandea GTR]

I have that book. The Aries I think may have two paragraphs.

I think the book you have was being a little too generous.

 

[Obelisk]

Of course I know that other cars were quiet and comfy. Hundreds of other cars were (some will be in my encyclopedia). It just that for it's time, the Aries was more comfy, quieter, higher quality, than any other American compact you could purchase.

Can you prove that impartially?

I.E. give us professional reviews from the time without cherry-picking?

yeah but it's not real though is it
