2006 Chrysler Imperial
Seeing as the Chrysler 300 successfully imitated Bentley’s styling, it’s not surprising to see the Imperial trying to ape Rolls-Royce’s styling with a car that’s over a foot longer and almost six inches taller than the 300. Even though it had center-opening doors, an upright grille, and 22-inch wheels, this car looked more like a Chinese knockoff of a Rolls rather than a luxury vehicle. It’s rather worrying that Chrysler seriously considered this car for production for a while.
2006 Acura Advanced Sedan
The Acura Advanced sedan was meant to create a vision of luxury for Acura. However, this design is not going to do it. The beak-like grille just makes the car look almost sinister. The overall design seems to be an ode to the Batmobile as an attempt to bring it to the streets. According to designer Dave Marek, the manufacturer had a certain idea in mind with this car: “Actually, we just wanted to build the baddest, biggest, meanest luxury sedan we could.”
