"chrysler" news and stories

Sure sure, if you're doing the In N Out drive-through, all you have to do is scream "Eat in the car!" into the speaker and when you drive up to the window, they will give you your burger and fries in a handy little box that will sit comofortably on the lap of whomever is about to enjoy the Double Double (but not you of course, since eating while driving could be dangerous).

However, the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivana will feature the new Swivel 'n Go seating system, which is capable of seating up to five people around a removable dining table inside the car. The two front seats can turn completely around to join the passengers in the back for some fine dining at a table (rather than laps). That's "fine dining," though, if you agree with one senior editor for Car Smarts magazine who said the minivan "definitely has good McDonald-ibility."

My fellow blogger at Luxist, Rick posted about the  “What Can You Hemi?” contest which dared people to come up with new inventions to use their HEMI V8. As inspiration, Chrysler invented the HEMI-Grille. It's a giant barbecue done up in stainless steel with the alternator and battery of the V8 fueling an electric motor to warm the heating elements. Get this, it cooks up 240 hot dogs in less than three minutes. And it has a gas pedal you can step on for more power. I know it's wrong, but I so want one. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this baby's headed into production anytime soon.
