I’m sure you remember the television commercials that ran a few years back with the Gomer Pyle-esque main character asking if the owner of the other character’s Chrysler-brand vehicle was powered by a Hemi engine.

On a positive note, they did paint it a similar shade of grey.. and the tail lights are still red!
