When I learned that "Corinthian Leather" was a name they made up for the cheapest leather they could find.

Sounds about right for Chrysler

I'm in the industry and it's true for all of them, Chrysler just doesn't seem to think people want to drive their vehicles for more than 6 years.

If they did then they wouldn't keep buying cars. Make it disposable on purpose = Chrysler

Sounds about right for all businesses.

It was the standard leather package found on all their cars, so yes, the cheapest they could find.

Whenever they wanted to sell a car as luxury, they called the leather "rich" or sometimes "soft" Corinthian leather.

When I learned that Corinthian Leather™️ is made-up marketing bullshit.

Corinthian leather, from Córdoba... jesss!

When you say it ... Corinthian leather is made up marketing bullshit

When Ricardo Montalbán says it .... it adds 50 horse power to your car, your car is indestructible, it can fly and it cures your cancer.

THANKS DODGE!

Should take a lesson from the manufacturer of the Thundercougarfalconbird. Just look at the luxury edition, it just has so much more eagle.

Yeah I was sad on the day they ran out of Corinthians.

I can only hear this in Deadpool’s voice.

That was the start of Starfleet's downward spiral.
