    I wonder if Chrysler itself will also go away at some point. ...and the whole fleet what does not sell is a huge part of the reason that Honda products hold this value so much better. TLX is down 20 percent, and last I checked they were not even offering zero percent to move metal. Honda seems smart with production. GM send by far and away the best of the bunch but currently they have lots of money on the hood of the Camaro and a ton of unsold Camaros. Methinks my next ride may well be Asian at this point.

    Everyone is down pretty much. Things will get ugly for whoever we are unfortunate enough to get.

    Heis a lucky man!

    Jeep is providing a good design in the Renegade. This again goes to corporate culture though as they have major quality control issues they are unwilling to deal with.

    This is along the lines of my comments in the Ford thread about the importance of corporate culture. VW is almost incapable of acting rationally on their own behalf. It makes no sense to me at all either.

    Exactly why they need to exit the passenger car business. Specialty cars yes, mainstream passenger cars, no.

    Cadillac builds some fantastic cars, but Benz is at the top of the Luxury car heap and will be there probably forever. The Conti is a glorified Mercury by comparison.

    Thanks for the heads up on the Volvo. A lot of car makers are not doing a real wonderful job in this segment.

    Neon RT was a very good car...my son has a friend named Alex, may ahve mentioned this before. Alex has an SRT 4 that on the dyno pulls 725 at the front wheels, more than a Hellcat out of a four banger. Again, was good to see some people getting into things domestic and different-during the cruise nights out at Brice Road during the MOPAR nationals bunches of young guys sued to bring these...and now the same young crowd is buying WRX, GTI, Civic SI and the like. Chryco has done a lot of stupid things in terms of abandoning customers, sadly.

    Thanks, more to come....Got to get something done here...

    Audi is a top tier car maker but they seem to em to be too complacent with their power trains. But then I am not a luxury car buyer, you are... Still I think Audi could stand to bring more of their A game from time to time. .

    A large screen is much harder to integrate visually I think. Of the above, only the MB looks like a good design.

    http://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=56254 Check out the link for my #2 Choice, 1970 Dodge Polara convertible. Old school cruiser, last year for a full sized Dodge convertible, unique, fun, and fits our flavor of unique MOPAR products for today.

    Above car may be an SRT=4, but another good car of the era you are talking about from Chryco is the second gen Neon ACR. Very rare club racing edition that handled well and was reasonably priced. More common on the first gen neon, it was available as a second gen Neon option for awhile also. But that is not my #2 choice, that is to come... We are lacking a lot of the creativity in the modern automotive world that we once had. We still live in a golden age, but it has a different flavor. Remember the Shelby Dakota? PT cruiser is actually another great choice, actually. What I liked about it was that it brought a lot of people into car modification and enjoyment that might not have otherwise come. A lot of middle aged women around me modified them and brought them to car shows.

    Those supercharged full size GM cars of the nineties were what I was hinting at in the Crazy Uncle edition of the Dream Car garage. Glad you brought this one out. Lots of good times with friends in these back in the day, they rode better than many modern Luxury cars and would easily pull thirty plus plus on the road driven responsibly, beating things like the IS200T and the Acura TLX I was talking about in the other thread in terms of real world fuel economy. Plus these came out at a time when you could get multiple colors and multiple options. Again, a nice shade of the "old GM" and the way things used to be. Was very sad to see a metric crap ton of these go to the crusher during the cash for Clunkers era. Were I to own a modern Chryco car it would be a Three Hundred....but the 200 did have some nice interior detailing.

    Riviera is a car I would actually really lust also. To me this kind of dovetails with our thread on the Lincoln Continental and the image of Lincoln. GM was working on revitalizing its luxury brands in the 1990's, and Lincoln was building....a Continental that was actually less Luxurious and had less deign features than the Ford Country Squire wagon my father bought in 1975, twenty years earlier.... Had a co worker that had a beautiful one in silver back in the day, like an idiot he swerved to avoid a stray dog at 60 miles an hour (the car, not the dog) and hit a tree. The Olds I would replace with an Aurora....how many Olds powered cars raced at Indy during the early 2000's?....The Aurora was the swan song of a truly great American brand, and one of the end points to what the Old GM was.
  17. A Horse With No Name
    In the case of this detail, I would have to agree with you.

    1965 AMC Rambler wagon...neighbors had one as a kid....always thought they were well proportioned. Always liked the 1965 Malibu wagon as well. Rambler Ambassador.
  19. A Horse With No Name
    Agree, especially as I like the proportions of the center stack in the Conti.
  20. A Horse With No Name
    Yes, CRV. Sorry about that.
  21. A Horse With No Name
    Rotary is smoother than that....until the apex seals blow.....
  22. A Horse With No Name
    This, times one hundred.
  23. A Horse With No Name
    It would be my choice over anything Lexus, Lincoln, Acura, Infinity, BMW, Benz, or Chrysler builds! The whole gently used idea changes where forty five grand goes real effing fast!
  24. A Horse With No Name
    Thanks for clarifying!
  25. A Horse With No Name
    Thankfully used CTS fits nicely into my budget. Back seat of the IS250 will work, Acura TLX will work better. But yes, larger in some ways would be better.
