Honestly...There hasn't been much out of Detroit....or at least Chevrolet/Ford/Chrysler that I've found all that appealing...with the exception of the 1980's Z28...I really liked that body style for some reason.
The new body style Camaro piqued my interest....and we kicked the 'buy a new Z28' idea around for awhile. My wife really hot for a 'bumble bee Camaro'...but we drove one of the new Camaros around....and my woman couldn't see out the back worth a crap!
The newer style Mustangs...I like too...but I got issues with the local Ford-house...and we had decided to buy as local as possible.
And anything else we looked at....looked like shit next to a stone white Dodge Challenger.
So essentially the Challenger won because I really wanted one...and could find enough logical reasons to convince to lady it was a smart move.
I didn't bother to inform my woman that Chrysler/Dodge/Fiat...or whatever they are now....might just be on the brink of going teats up...
...But no matter. We now own an SE Challenger....the V6 don't embarrass me too bad/performance is acceptable....fuel economy seems decent enough...and by golly...we bought a car made in Canada to try help old Walter Chrysler's American company stay afloat another year(plus I like the Dodge sales blurbs proclaiming that buying a Dodge is 'freedom').
