That was a great episode! I've watched it twice. I want the Hellcat so bad. I can't say I haven't thought about ways to acquire it that won't leave me destitute. It selling over MSRP would be the nail in the coffin for my zany ideas though. I'm in my twenties and rather than thinking about a down payment on my first house I'm scheming a Hellcat lol. I could be like Will Ferrell's character in Wedding Crashers- Chaz Reinhold. Living with my mom at 30! MOM, I WANT SOME MEATLOAF! F*CK! At least I'd have a Hellcat though...

These comments usually come from guys who like to drive around Walmart PARKING LOTS dodging orange cones. :lol:
Hellcat, from our friends in CANADA!
And it was one of the fastest if not THE fastest prop fighter of WW2! And it was fat and in it's case ugly compared to a SpitFire or P-51, But was Bullet proof.

Unfortunately, you are right. Daimler did a lot of damage to brand reputation. But it is quickly being reversed. 60 minutes produced a favorable piece about the 'new' Chrysler a few years back during the launch of the Dart. I have a personal example. In 2007, my mom bought a 2008 Dodge Avenger R/T. Although, at the time it was an all new car and the top of the line model it still reeked of cheapness and hard plastics. The transmission had problems of slipping and kicking into gear and my mother traded it in within 3 years. She said she hated that car. Prior to that, she had a loaded 2002 Dodge Intrepid that was silver, spoiler, sunroof, factory chrome wheels, all factory ground effects, fog lights. I still miss that car. I basically took it over while I was in high school and I was proud to be seen in it. It was a real beauty. We all loved that car and she regretted trading it in for the Avenger for years. However, in 2011 my parents bought a 2011 Dodge Ram HEMI 1500 Sport Quad Cab all black with black matching bumpers rather than chrome which I guess was the 'Sport' designation. They traded a 2006 Dodge Ram SLT 1500 Quad Cab HEMI for it. Well, the build quality is phenomenal. Leather abound with contrast stitching. Soft touch material, leather-looking dashboard I guess injection molding. Nav, rotary shifter, dual exhaust. All of which the '06 Ram was lacking. They still have that Ram and it's holding up great. I feel if they keep on this track they can win back brand integrity over the course of the decade. The sooner they kill off the Avenger the better.
-Same exact Intrepid just in Bright Silver Metallic
-Same exact truck and color.
Yes, Mustang and Camaro are 2+2 with no room for adults in the back. As a practical daily driver, the Challenger is an easy winner. At the track, the Mustang has an inherent weight advantage thanks to being a much smaller car with a much smaller interior. Every car is a compromise, even the Veyron.
