Maybe should be GPM vs. MPG.

But it doesn't comply with the NASCAR template...

Tachyon (within 55 miles of three major racetracks)

Too bad its made by Chrysler.  That means the alternator will fail 8 times within two years, the head gasket will blow, and the heating system will fail.  At least in that particular model the heat should not be a problem.

Oh man, wouldn't it be sweet if we sent a squadron of NY taxi drivers over to afghanistan with a fleet of these.

Why would we want to send them home with our tanks?

I guess you know nothing about Chryslers then.  in the past 21 years, my family has had at least 11 Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles.  None of them has had any problems except for my 95 Avenger which is actually made by Mitsubishi.

You must not have had a New Yorker.  I have a '96 Jeep Cherokee that I'm very happy with, but my family has had 3 New Yorkers with less than pleasant experiences.  The first one ('83) lasted the longest, going for 8 years through two tranny's, several alternators, couple head gaskets before it became no longer worth fixing.  The second was an '85 which was owned for a period of two years in which the alternator crapped out 8 times, then traded in for the third - an '87.  The '87 lost one of the adjustable shocks, making the car undriveable for a spell.  Next, it blew the head gasket, then the computer went and the dealer never could get it working 100% again.  The clear coat stripped off of the car giving it a wonderful dull finish in spots.  Those problems all happened within 80,000 miles.

So although we haven't had as many as you, you might see why I would be a tad hesitant to purchase another [:D]

Ahh, it was rumored to me that the older and newer ones did not suffer the same type of QC/Engineering issues but I don't like the styling myself any more.

I *do* have a '53 DeSoto that is all original and runs fine, just has some minor transmission issues.
