A few words of advice: Relax, wait until next year's model comes out. Also, Ford and Chevy will be actively competing next year and then you'll have a leg to stand on. Nothing like good old price gauging by good old Chrysler, the phoenix which has risen from the ashes. Based on the report about the problem the guy had with Chrysler and his sputtering engine, I'd say that this company has truly risen to the ranks of it's competitors in MOTOWN- screw the public, buy the steel for dirt overseas, and claim in millions of dollars in advertising that you're technologicaly right on the money (who else would engineer camshafts to fail between 70k-80k miles). This is not a flame, I'm merely describing some of the typical American Corporate Philosophies of the 80s that could be summarized in a few words: anything is legit as long as you can get away with it.
