Our Economy may almost be in a complete recession right now...but that will still not make me buy a car made in the US of A. My current luxury car is a Lincoln LS, and I've never had more problems in my entire life. I've owned 3 japanese cars before, never had ANYTHING near the NIGHTMARES this POS provides, free of charge...FIXING, not free of charge. Someone who spent $75,000 on a Dodge is one of two things:1. Loaded beyond Comprehensibility. or 2. A Complete F*cking Idiot. I have owned nothing but Dodge longer than you are alive Andrew and have not had problems. Some of it in my opinion is Luck and some of it is the dealer. A good dealership is a big thing. I suggest you pick another brand with a different dealership. Oh and I have friends that have had huge problems with their "Japanese" cars. Well said sir. I got 2 with no problems yet.

You Own 2 Dodges? Or #2 On My List...You Spent 75k for a Challenger....;-) I don't have anything Personal against, Dodge, I Was Just Saying Only An Idiot would pay $75k markup on a New Challenger. I agree Leonard, a lot of it is Luck, but I am not happy w/my Lincoln LS. Really lowers my opinion about Ford.

When you get as old and decrepit as us you can bash. I have had good and bad with Lincoln as a brand. We used to have a Lincoln Mercury Comet. small car 302 V8 that could actually MOVE. ;D Fun car to play with at a young age. Actually I am lucky to survive it as I look back.

Nice, man! The orange one above had the 6.1L V8, pretty sick engine. The gray one has a 5.7.

Not sure, but this last friday there was an old guy with an orange one, stuffed a procharger on it, and is pumping out 725 RWHP, he ran an 8.5 sec 1/8th mile spinning all the way down the track..

Challenger SRT8 with the 6.1L is 425 hp, and the 2010 Camaro SS with the 6.2L will have 422 hp. So, 3 ponies to be exact.
