****ers ripped off Rolls-Royce with 300C, and now they rip off Aston Martin with this? I would give them credit design wise if they came up with something original other than ripping off $100k+ cars.

Other than that, it looks great. If the handling is great and the money was no object, I would definately trade mine in. But since I could barely afford my used G coupe, I can't trade mine in for it... haha.

Hey Ianbiz, I dig the sig! Maybe you should start working on gspotter. I've all but given up.

Also, with no back seat this comparison is not fair. The BMW 325 and 330 are fair comparisons. Both are RWD, both come in 2 door and 4 door trims, both have auto and manual trannies, both come with similar options... thus that's a "fair" comparison. Why not just drag in a Porsche Carrera GT? It's a 2 seater and has 4 wheels just like the Chrysler. Oh yeah, and at least that comes from "over seas".

I agree! They said C&D tested it and its better then an Enzo, Carrera GT and Pagani Zonda?!?! Anyway the side profile on that car is SICK, i actually like it but def. not the interior!

Isn't chrysler infamous for bad transmissions?? several family members had new chryslers,.. all of which needed the transmissions replaced after several months.

I showed my fiance the article in Car and Driver and said it was going to be my next car. Her reply "Your next car is going to be a minivan" Oh the pain!!
Anyway the name of the car is Firepower! not Firepower according to C&D. Its hot but can it carry two sets of golf clubs. If not its a deal killer for me. Oh yea and lets see if they make it. Those funky lights in the front will never make it to production.

Probably a great ride, and of course that HEMI....hmmmm, but no, not for me.

Please remember that the G35 wasn't available w/ a 6-speed initially either.

well i've had a suburban and a cutlas(sp?) supreme and they both had over 150k miles on it when we sold them. the suburban had transmission problems but we're pretty sure that was our fault and not the car. we now have a venture and its been doing fine.

o if u wanna to buy a chrysler, i heard on the news about dakotas and durangos recalled because of the possibility of wheels falling off.

Dodge Recall
