Smile A Chrysler I would consider

Seems like Daimler-Chrysler is really cleaning up their act. I guess they finally realized that many of the Michigan products were crap and started using Mercedes-Benz pieces to build better Chrysler cars.



You can see the Mercedes-Benz influence written all over. From the SL side gills to the general overall look of the SLK platform.

Ya one looks okay, but I don't like the styling of most chryslers.. especially their front grill design.

Not a dodge, but a chrysler. Oh well, I will never buy Dodge, or any Daimler-Chrysler car again until the problems with their trannys fixed. Damn thing get recalled or go in for repaors like once a month

I can see the similarity, but I think the Chrysler is a much more refined design....

It is by no means an SL ripoff though...

And JDOGG..please tell me you had one of the 3.0L mitsu motors backed by a 4 speed auto...

I haven't had one problem with my tranny..and I beat the **** out of it... (3.94 5 speed)

Actually my list of dodge goes like this.

1994 Dodge Intrepid ES - 3.5L ES version
1992 Dodge Dakota Sport - 4 cyl 5spd
1991 Dodge Dakota Sport - 6cyl 3.9L 5spd
1969 Charger R/T
1970 Challenger R/T
2000 Dodge Ram truck 1500 Auto
2001 Dodge Intrepid ES - 3.2L Auto

These have all either been company vehicles or my own personal vehicels but they were all new to me and I was the first on eto drive them and the trannys all gae me problems.

Dude, WTF, you were the first one to drive a 69 charger? How old are you? If it's an auto, it's nearly impossible for you to destroy a 727 torqueflite....

I lean towards the "how the hell were you driving these cars" theory...lol....

I am 23 the charger and challenger are my uncle's restored rides, not definite on the exact years of them but I believe they are 69 and 70. But yes I do "drive it like I stole it", but if a car can't handle it, it shouldn't be out on the road. For over 30,000 miles my Honda has taken more abuse then all of my dodge vehicles, and it still hasn't been in for any major services. Knock on wood, but it has been broken into 7 times in parking lots that are more than well lit with a police station across the road.

Damn, I like it.
I like Dodge Rams. I like Jeep Wranglers. Oh yeah, I like Vipers too.
Those are the only Dodge/Chrsyler/Jeep products I would consider though. Notice, consider.

I saw a black one alittle while back in person and I really liked it. However, the price is just too high in my opinion. I think it starts at $32k

Price is fairly expensive, but it is essentially an SLK320. And cheaper than an SLK320 at that.
