TTAC Photochops: Vipette, Challamaro and Durangahoe

With the GM – Chrysler merger dominating the automotive headlines, one of TTAC’s Best and Brightest suggested a little photochop action. And so I prepared a hypothetical General Mopar line-up. You can see here the Vipette, a lethal blend of venom and muscle powered by an exclusive V9 engine. Did you find yourself in difficulty choosing between the new Challenger and the new Camaro? Well, despair no more. The Challamaro is here to please all pony car fans. Are you tormented by uncertainty as you canʼt figure out whether the Chevy Tahoe or the Dodge Durango will leave the market first? We figured out a sure answer here, as weʼve also merged the two into one truck. Please note that these renderings were intended as funny-bone-appealing in a time of uncertainty. They were not meant to be good-looking or realistic. I apologize to all of the fans that can see here dismembered parts of their beloved vehicles. However, I have to admit this was pure fun for me.

    How about a "Sebralt" (sounds slightly better than the alternative "Cobring"), that would be a car so ugly even it's mother would disown it. Of course the HHR and PT-Cruiser could merge without anybody noticing any difference.

    $10,000 cash back and 0% financing on the all-new 2010 Chevler Ramerado!

  • Buickman I like it!
  • JMII Hyundai Santa Cruz, which doesn't do "truck" things as well as the Maverick does.How so? I see this repeated often with no reference to exactly what it does better.As a Santa Cruz owner the only things the Mav does better is price on lower trims and fuel economy with the hybrid. The Mav's bed is a bit bigger but only when the SC has the roll-top bed cover, without this they are the same size. The Mav has an off road package and a towing package the SC lacks but these are just some parts differences. And even with the tow package the Hyundai is rated to tow 1,000lbs more then the Ford. The SC now has XRT trim that beefs up the looks if your into the off-roader vibe. As both vehicles are soft-roaders neither are rock crawling just because of some extra bits Ford tacked on.I'm still loving my SC (at 9k in mileage). I don't see any advantages to the Ford when you are looking at the medium to top end trims of both vehicles. If you want to save money and gas then the Ford becomes the right choice. You will get a cheaper interior but many are fine with this, especially if don't like the all touch controls on the SC. However this has been changed in the '25 models in which buttons and knobs have returned.
  • Analoggrotto I'd feel proper silly staring at an LCD pretending to be real gauges.
  • Gray gm should hang their wimpy logo on a strip mall next to Saul Goodman's office.
  • 1995 SC No
