The new CAFE fuel economy measures have claimed their latest victim....the Chrysler Imperial.

CAFE has been a blessing in disguise for a few automakers: they have an excuse for going back on their word on products that they might have known from the start weren't very promising.

Good. It was never meant to be.

Hopefully, the new Chrysler will have the sense to apply at least some of the Imperial's design language to the next 300. It'll be due for a redesign in the next couple of years. The Imperial is gorgeous, but it's best for the company that it doesn't make it to production.

Case in point, Chrysler Imperial.

Good, it was bad anyway.

I liked the Imperial.

I thought it was kinda ugly, but it's unfortunate that the Imp was killed off. It couldda been a contenda!

I think it would have been a hit with the "street" crowd.

Oh well...
