Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

    Unless everybody now says “I’ll never buy anything from dodge”. If it doesn’t impact sales it really will become the new norm.

      You’d really need to boycott anything made by the Stellantis group, which includes

      • Abarth
      • Alfa Romeo
      • Chrysler
      • Citroen
      • Dodge
      • DS
      • Fiat
      • Jeep
      • Lancia
      • Maserati
      • Opel
      • Peugot
      • RAM Trucks
      • Vauxhall

      Because the exact same thing was reported by Jeep drivers a few weeks ago. Maybe the behavior stays contained to just the American brands under the Stellantis umbrella, but better to be safe than sorry.

        Lancia is as good as dead. They only make (made?) one car, and only in the Italian market, and it was a slightly larger Fiat 500. Stellantis is struggling enough with the brands that are still making cars. I’d be shocked if Lancia comes back.

        Lancia

        Sad to see that name here, but they’re nothing like they were in the Group B days. At least my ultimate dream car will never have ads, even if I’ll never be able to afford the car itself 🥲
