Would you trade in your coupe for this mean machine ??
CHRYSLER FIREPOWER
I know, it's perhaps not in the same category, 2 seater versus 4 seater, but damn, 425 horsepower HEMI, and the looks of an Astin Martin, and for a few bucks more than the G (OK maybe $15K more) ??? I love my coupe, but man this baby looks hot !!!

LOL! A lot of people criticize the G's interior, but I've never seen an American interior I'd rather have over the G's.

Economically speaking, no, I wouldn't trade my Coupe in for it. I traded in my leased Jetta to get the G, I'm not taking that hit again, especially since I really dig my G (whereas I hated the Jetta).
The car looks cool, but where the hell is the manual transmission? It also looks to me like Mercedes is calling the shots for Chrysler now...

I can live with the shape, which is somewhat radical. I dunno I'd have to drive it and if I liked it I wouldnt buy it simply because its american. I'd lease it though while it was under warranty, wouldnt want it when the warranty is up.

The newest Chryslers are practically German cars. I think the 300 is built on the prev gen E-class chassis? MB is influencing Chrysler in transmission options too...only auto tranny, blah!
I like the looks of the Firepower, but I keep searching for a front-on view of the car, because I think the headlights look funny.

I would trade only if I'm allowed to sell it and buy a G35c and pocket the difference. For the cost of the Firepower, I'd be looking at the M3. Don't like the looks of it and the reviews haven't been that great. Although I will say that between the big 3 domestics, Chrysler has some of the better designs, although Mercedes may have something to do with this.
