Without viewing a single frame: ugh.

I like how the Landau digital gauge package does a mock sweep. That's kind of cool even though digital gauges don't need to sweep like analog gauges (just show all segments, like every other car with a digital dash). Chrysler just had to be different (and pointless).

Bob will notice that the trip computer tracked gallons consumed! That one said 9.6 gallons consumed, but that's 9.6 Chrysler gallons. So probably 15 regular gallons.

Wow, rear headphone jacks with volume control. That's like an early rear seat entertainment thing.

But like the sweeping digital gauges, somewhat pointless unless it was able to select a different source. Maybe it's just so the kids can listen to something while the adults drive in silence, or talk. But, AGAIN, that's pointless because....walkman. You did it again, Chrysler.

Oh god, that Mitsubishi 3.0L V6 put out 136hp in 1988!

Is this in reference to my 39 MPG rental Charger?
