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.

    Dodge dropped 29% in sales in the USA last year, and something tells me, this isn’t going to have folks lining up to buy Chargers in 2025. Watch the free market* take care of this one.

    *Unless you’re Tesla, in which case the market costs $277 million to purchase.

      Free market doesn’t work if all car brands are owned by like 5 companies and all of them agreeing to add ads.
      That is why we need to regulate cooperations as well as enforce them properly.

    • I think that has more to do with ending production on the LX Platform Challenger / Charger tbh. They haven’t quite managed to gather the same hype among domestic car nerds with their replacements as those old boats had.

        Despite their reputation, the LX platform was serious value, offering stupid power for cheap. It had the “classic American muscle car” vibes, and responds nicely to modifications.

      Their new $85k Charger will surely save them…

      Hornet, Journey, Charger. That’s it. Hornet is a piece of cheap, charger has ads. Journey…?
