Dodge Indy 500 -- by James Riswick.
We've been kicking this idea around the office for quite a while now, and the merger of Chrysler and Fiat is far too good a starting point for us to resist a moment longer.
Here's the deal: Simple photo-manipulation contest (no hate on Gimpers or even Microsoft Paint) speculating what the Chrysler/Fiat merger will bring. Nothing more. Nothing less. This guy says it won't work. These pictures should prove (or disprove) his case once and for all..
The Rules:
- PG rated (maybe PG-13 if it's really funny)
And that's really it. Being on topic is helpful if you want to win, but it's not necessary. You want to make it a car? Great! You think you can figure out a (de)Motivational poster? Great! We don't really care, just have fun and have all submissions to Submissions@edmunds.com by next Thursday, May 27 at midnight. We'll post the finalists on Friday and the voting will begin.

"You just made the gorgeous Maserati look NASCAR-worthy!"
Only if the headlights and grille are fully-functional decals.

Hmmmm... no entries yet.
Looks Like I'm not the only one with no photoshop skills.
Funny grills aside, I'm really pleased with the "merger". Looks like we are going to get a bunch of really cool Italian cars that were never coming here any other way.
No down side to that.

Am I the only one that noticed that the reflection on that super glossy floor has the original car grill? Little bit of a downer.

Wow... That "Ramturismo" is not your average ugly... That's advanced ugly. That thing and the Pontiac Aztek were definitely the ones who failed in beauty school :)

i can feel the chyme leaving my stomach via the cardiac sphincter. It's lingering somewhere in between my chest and my mouth..

I'm sure there's something on the lawbooks against that dodge ramerati. Somewhere. And I thought the cayenne was butt-ass ugly jeez

If we ever get a Fiat 500 and dodge gets a hold of it they will surely ruin it. The sight of one dodge badge on a fiat would ruin it.

WOW! I personally think they are drop dead gorgeous and beautiful. Chysler should build the Firepower once they turn the ship around. Please get the union under control or better yet get rid of the union and all of their fat boss demands and start focusing on building cars that can compete with non union car companies.
