Not that I would ever get one, but I think they look pretty cool. I give them credit from breaking away from the cookie cutter mold and doing something different. Watch out for that SRT-6 too, it hauls ass.

I saw one at a dealer that was a terrible color, so I just went to Chrysler.com to see what the shade was, and it was right there on the main opage. I didn't see what the color was called, but if you've ever seen a video of a surgery, its about the shade of "yellow" that the skin is stained. If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about. Gross. Just gross. Oh, and as it was sitting there in the dealer lot, they had the fruity little "spoiler" extended. It looks like you have to say Go-go gadget spoiler!" to make it appear.

it's not my cup of tea but people who drive the car bug the hell out of me, especially those in the convertibles. They think they are the shiit, trying to race me all the time. I just brushed them off and gave them a

I kind of like them. The concept version was ALOT better, but oh well...regarding the spoiler, I don't mind it too much except for the hinges. They look extrememly thin and weak...almost gimmicky.

I agree they look differnet. I think they look OK.

As for the SRT-6 being "fast" next to what?

The 300C is almost as fast (and way cheaper), and the C6 vette is no doubt faster. The M3 is faster and cost's about the same.

SRT-6 costs $47K

I don't hate the looks, but I don't think they are gorgeous either.

They used to be WAY underpowered, but this years model has like 350 HP or something like that, so they fixed one thing, anyway.

they still cost too much.

BUT, even with the boosted HP, and if they lowered the price to $30K, I still would not even consider one because they don't offer a manual transmission even as an option.

Who the heck wants an automatic sports car? Can an automatic even be called a sports car?

So tell those pussys trying to race you to get a car with a real transmission, and then maybe you will think about it.

people who drive automatic sports cars = pussys.

I just kinda in the groove with the pussys right now. pussy pussy pussy.

Where'd my wife go......
