Paul, yeah, I guess I'm not too crazy about it or the exact way that they did the car. Also, it's being driven by a guy who just came out of a Porsche, (and a heavy modern 911 compared to yours), the comparison is not very flattering to the Dodge apparently.

I'm sure that someone, somewhere likes driving this car. but not anyone who has driven better cars.

Like I said, I haven't driven one yet...but I do feel I'm done with P-cars...for several reasons. Maybe...from now on, I'll just become a Camry or Accord guy.

Paul - If you you become a "Camry/Accord Guy", you will have reliable and relatively inexpensive appliance transportation. What will you do for automotive joy and fun? Or this now water under the bridge?

I had a Challenger back in the day and it was one big, heavy car. The new one looks very close in size and weight. Cool looking, but I wouldn't want one.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. It very well could be that "automotive joy and fun" has left me.
