It was for a quick second... i was walking to the train station and passing me I saw what looked like a nice Inferno Red Intrepid. Was not sure what trim it was. As I turned around to take another look at the back I saw something strange.
The trunk had the DODGE on the upper left hand side. Now I heard they were moving the badging around... but if they are putting the Dodge on the upper left hand side... this is a big mistake IMO. It makes the car looked too "cluttered".
I like the big "INTREPID" written across the back. Makes the car look somewhat intiminating. The 3.5 badge on the right side I always liked made my R/T stand out. Now are all the 2002 ES and RTs gonna have this 3.5 badge? If the ES does I say BLAH. It takes away the "uniqueness" of the R/T. Kinda like what Nissan is doing with the new Altima. They are beefing up the engine of the Altima so much its almost equal with the Maxima. This is going to drive sales of the Maxima down I think. Why pay 28k for a Maxima when you can get an Altima with perhaps the same engine for 3-4k less. Same goes with the Intrepid.
Not that it matters for me, im not buying an '02 or an '03 for that matter anytime soon, but im disapointed. Having the Dodge logo on the back where everyone can see it... takes away from the INTREPID written across.
Just my opinion
