Yeah, I don't understand the rationale behind a 4100 pound "performance" car. For some reason, American car companies can't seem to realize that lighter cars perform better. Well, except for the Corvette, which they actually kinda did correctly.


Take a look at a bottom of the line Audi interior. Compare it to a top of the line GM interior, or dodge or ford for that matter.

I really would like to buy American. When they can produce a 3000 pound car that has 300+ horsepower from a relatively small engine that still gets good gas mileage, is rock-solid reliable, and handles like a dream, and only then, will I buy American. Until then, I'll continue buying German. They may cost more, but they deliver what I want.

Oh, and slightly back on topic, new challenger is bulbous and ugly, mustang looks okay, but too heavy and kinda boring looks, and the new camaro actually manages to look decent, but it's too big, too heavy, and too cheap looking for me. When I get a V8 it will be in the form of a 928.
