RE: Here's my tribute to Trevor Creed
Here's a little blurb on Creed.
http://subscribers.wardsauto.com/mic...1004&siteid=26
An excerpt from this article...
Creed says the vehicle didn’t have a name at first and was referred to as the “Carlsbad theme.†The team then began running through various names used by Dodge in the past.
“We chose the name Charger,†he says. “We researched the name, and it received very good ratings. It came out the best, and we decided to go with the name.â€
Uhhh, the Charger name wouldn't have those ratings if it started out as a homely four door.
Creed balks at the suggestion that had the design team known from the get-go the vehicle would carry the Charger moniker, the styling might have been more retrospective.
“We elected deliberately not to do a reproduction of the ’69 Charger,†he says. He told the designers, “I want a car worthy of the Charger name, but I don’t want you to take anything off the shelf from any of the ’65 to ’69, or ’70 or ’71 Chargers.
So if you think the car looks like a pig-nosed taxi (and hence the barnyard beast I chose as his "Charger") then you can lay the blame on Mr. Creed.

I know I should probably not ask, but who's Trevor Creed?
