The interior looks hard enough to scrape grease from....

It is all show no go it's a soft one.
So then why in the UK does Chrysler market it as a muscle car?
And you do remember they are the pace cars in the V8 series i didn't like it back then when i was up close to them. I also wrote back from Bathurst how i was not impressed with them.

no

to make a comment saying they are all show no go, driving one would definately help if we're talking about a car that is 180-250kw depending on the cylinder count. you probably feel you dont need to drive one to be able to judge because your judgement will be flawed by bias anyway

there is nothing wrong with a gangster car, its preferable to a bogan car

this car just shouts "look at me, i'm better than a Fairmont or Calais', which would fall to pieces at the first roundabout when the other two flog it away because the Fairmont undoubtedly handles better, a generation fresher chassis will do that, and the Calais is just lighter and fitted with suspension thats nearly SS spec, just a bit softer.

And just because the outside is bit pimp and extrovert, they can get away with that interior? if it was in a Ford or escpecially a Holden, they woulda torn it to pieces in the review

no, same as handling, or seeing one in the back of a truck with a dint in the floorpan from when the pedal went to the floor

because the european idea of a muscle car is a big fast sedan, i.e AMG M RS&S, and Chrysler think this can compete, which they can't, escpecially considering HSV has properly entered the UK now.

the open-exhausted RS6 was way cooler, probably coulda give the V8s a run for there money after a quick visit to MTM

Im surprised its being compared to the Fairmont and Calais now, as before it was released it was put up as a competitor to the Fairlane and Statesman. Either way it can baske in whatever glory its getting now cuz in 3 yrs it'll be up against the new gen LWB's

I can't be biased how can i be? Because i seen one 6 months ago and didn't like it, Didn't like it's sound didn't think it had anyone go at all considering a XR6T medical car was 30 meters behind it going faster.
And i dont like it's looks, As 2ndClass was saying it scream I'm bigger better then you, A real American trait.
I like what it is and that is a Big V8 with RWD and plenty of space. But other then that i dislike it, It's all show and no go, And that means it tells you it can cream anything it's like a big mouth boxer that can't really back it up but looks the part tell the ring. My VP would give it a fright.
I wont drive one as i don't like them isnt that good enough?.
And whats you idea of a Bogan car anyway?

I almost seen one when a guys driving lights turned off in the middle of a street after 10pm he would have shit himself Dam them faulty auto lights.
But every car built or most have to cut some money somewhere to save money so it's atleast competitive but they cut price in the most important area brakes. And it's a big thing to pull up.

I think the only person who's been able to go from football to fighting successfully was Goldberg
