    Yeah but the "bailed out" American companies are building cars that WE want. I'm glad to see that my tax dollars wasn't a waste and my next car WILL be fast, cool, fun, 4door, V8, RWD car that our Marauders were built to be. When Ford decides to make something other than some FWD ugly crap I'd give them a shot. Til then I want something with a pushrod, GM and Mopar ftw!

    I love the manual shift by just tapping the lever to the right/left, or by paddles. Made it feel almost lke a manual car.
    Smoother and more modern ride than Marauder.
    Then I fired Marauder up, listened to the whine and snapping throttle - yup, keeping her for awhile.
    I'll get an R/T Charger as a daily some time though....
    That's the best DD choice plus you can run 89 with it and it gets great mileage too. I'm keeping my MM but I need something to DD. 370/390 is not bad for a base. I'm curious to see what new Torqueflite 8-speed can do for the 2015.

    The 2015 models will have the 8 speeds with the 5.7L V8 finally, although they lose AWD unless you do the 6 cylinder.

    Just need to keep an eye out for issues for a bit after they are released since it is the first time they mate that drivetrain, I think I'll be getting the sporty 300.

    I wouldn't write those off completely.. they are most likely going to release other trims eventually.

    Crap, crap, crap.
    Test drove it with my wife yesterday, much to my surprise she LOVED it, we make a deal, get down to the nitty gritty, they send it out to be washed and I do a good walk around. Friggin paint is SCREWED, silly ass me picking yet another black car.
    I found the damage after we had started signing papers so my credit has already been run....
    Steaming mad, disappointed, the car may have paint work on the hood and A pillar. Everyone at the stealership played dumb.
    One of 1346, one of two in Florida. My accountant pretty much said I have to spend the $$

    6 hours away from home in a hotel trying to figure out my next move.
    I put an APB out for mobile car detailers capable of paint correction to meet me at the dealership and prep an estimate for the correction so I can haggle it out.

    Bummed.....

    Wow. I would never trust a dealer with a dirty car. Wash it first before we talk!
