The people that make Chrysler products are a bunch of fucktards, I decided...
What's wrong with this picture?
These are the specs off the window sticker:
...and this is the car:
Looks OK so far....Now here's an interior shot:
See anything wrong? (Hint: look at the interior color description)

Well, the customer is my father. He HATES Black interior. It's for his company to use back and forth to work. I explained to him the light graystone is really light, as light as the light trim on the door, he said fine. All is well in the end, but he was driving me nuts about the interior and I was insisting that it wasn't a black interior, next thing my driver picks this car up and this is what I see. Oh well..

Even if they got the seat color right - I still think Chrysler makes some of the ugliest cars on the road. Well maybe not ugly, just not inspiring at all.

Whats up with RDX owners?

Are you surprised? This is the same company that sold Wranglers with two of the four wheel arches painted with the others black plastic

My biggest gripe with their window stickers is they list ALL the options on it...so if you got an option that replaces a standard option...it still lists the standard option. Its obnoxious, especially when you're trying to figure out specifically what the car has.

2012 E350 4Matic - Lunar Blue/Ash Interior, Premium 1 and Lane Tracking Package:
Had to drive the MB rep back to their store, and got the chance to see a car that just came in, I ordered it for someone a few months back, a C63 AMG Black Series...only 90 in the country will be brought in. The color is similar to the Palladium Silver color, but it's matte. This car is absolutely SICK. Customer is a heavy hitter, and I will be shipping it to him down in Tampa. I won't be picking it up from the dealer or driving it though, it will be picked up from the dealer direct and transported to him in an enclosed carrier.
Got a quick video of the sound, but it didn't come out that great...
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SD8cv83X0JE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
He's trading in a 2011 Audi S6 with 5400 miles, it's Phantom Black with the Silver/grey interior, has carbon fiber inlays. He modded it with a Milltek exhaust, RS6 honeycomb mesh grill, also EVOSmit chipped, good for about 470hp. Anyone interested?
Also saw this as their prep facility too...

Sure, just didn't seem like there was much traffic in this thread, so I thought there was little interest.
I took in a 2010 TSX Tech in Polished Metal/Black if anyone is interested...it has 35-36k miles on it:
Will post a few other cars I delivered recently in a few.

2012 CT200h Premium - Nice car. A small part of me would consider this car...until you stomp on the gas and the engine starts to scream because of the CVT transmission 
I still managed 40mpg in the 60 miles drive to Connecticut when I delivered it last week. Driving a hybrid makes me want to cruise, trying to squeak out every ounce of mpg it has to offer. It was fun to drive, I just can't see myself in a hybrid though...I think the most gratifying part was putting it in EV mode and loafing along using only electricity in the 30 mins of bumper to bumper traffic. Sold it to a Judge, too

Yeah I love the look of the CT200h but I think they need to provide a non hybrid powertrain as well. I would think they could easily fit the 4cyl from the IS250 in it and they could sell it at a lower price then too.
