200 Ragtop Convertible like the one debuted in Chicago! I wonder what they street for.

I love what that company has been doing in recent years, and it's a big step up from their 1980s years.

I was, back then, only into foreign cars and especially sports cars which were way out of my price range, but when the Viper came out at its relative price compared to Italian and German sportscars, it changed everything. You no longer needed to spend on a car as much as a house to get world class performance.

As for less than sportscars and regular cars like most of us have, I think Pontiac has some nice cars which are practical and more powerful and fast than any cars off the showroom floor. I like the Vibe in its class and the G6 (after witnessing a childish drag race at a stoplight). Working near Laguna Seca I know when I see something a little out of the ordinary, it was nice to see an American car, and one that looks like what your daddy would use as a commuter car, pull off something usually only expensive custom cars could. Several people called 911 and they could not catch the G6. While I wouldn't condone this type of behavior, part of me was impressed with its performance. Your Chrysler car here seems to be a real jet!

Yes- they've really improved a lot. I like that little car.

New York, Baby!
One of these:

The one with 300 mile range though, which is so expensive! Hopefully they will make a midsize model in the next few years.

After driving this though, I would happily get a Challenger R/T (needs to be a manual though)

and I've always liked these as something much more practical than the Challenger - Audi A4 Avant quattro
