Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

    It’s def gonna spread tho. This is just one model one make. For now. In 2, 5, 10 years? CP77 without any of the fun shit.

      Unless everybody now says “I’ll never buy anything from dodge”. If it doesn’t impact sales it really will become the new norm.

        You’d really need to boycott anything made by the Stellantis group, which includes

        • Abarth
        • Alfa Romeo
        • Chrysler
        • Citroen
        • Dodge
        • DS
        • Fiat
        • Jeep
        • Lancia
        • Maserati
        • Opel
        • Peugot
        • RAM Trucks
        • Vauxhall

        Because the exact same thing was reported by Jeep drivers a few weeks ago. Maybe the behavior stays contained to just the American brands under the Stellantis umbrella, but better to be safe than sorry.
