And OBTW, if you want to stay out of the Corvette's astronomical price range (even though it beats a Viper ACR in the same price range), the Challenger comes in third across the board vs the Camaro and Mustang...except for fuel economy

I think their biggest problem was in going all out for power instead of making with the gas saving mini-cars.

other than Dodges shake themselves to pieces in a matter of a year or two, and don't hold their value at all.. Yep, no better car on the road than a squeaky rattly Dodge. that you can't sell for what you owe on it..

We had an '04 Dakota 4 door pick 'em up track that was rock solid. If not for 1,200 pounds of moo cow, we'd still have it. Reliable. Solid. Handled well. Typical POS Dode radio, however. Their radios have ALWAYS sucked.

Why do that when they can give money to a company that gives it to the workers that give it to the union that gives it back to the politicians.

This way it's legal to rob the American workers for their personal profit.

... and the last American brand car I bought was a Chevy Vega.


That convinced me to never, ever buy another one.

Since my Volkswagon was built in Brazil, does that qualify it as an American car?
