I am actually going to admit that I miss my GXP. After driving this loaner dodge stratus for the past couple days I miss the gxp. Just thought I would let you guys know. Should have it back from the body shop thursday.

I REALLY missed my Trailblazer when it was in the body shop, I got an Avenger. The only plus was using $15 in gas in 4 days.

the stratus makes me appreciate the power and also the loaded options my GXP has. I was driving with my GF and i went WOT and it sounded like It was really gettin' it but really it was barely accelerating.

I had a rental 2012 Chrysler 300 this past weekend. Very refined and nice ride. 8 speed auto transmission. The six cylinder moved the car well enough, NO torque though. I could not get the tires to brake loose without using the brake...that was with traction control disabled.

When my car was in the shop in Dec. I had a '11 Mercedes C300 for a month. Great car, loved the options. Cars in the shop now, I have a '11 Lincoln Mkx this Crossover or Mid size SUV is definetly a wifes car but I would drive it anytime. So many features, ride comfort, back up cam, Sync system, push start, remote hatch opener/close, nav, quad climate control, panoramic moonroof, leds everywhere, lane departure system, every imaginable option. Better than the Mercedes-benz, only drawback gas sipper
