I passed by one on Foothill in Upland on saturday. I would love to get a closer look. In passing this black one looked good. I want a black 5th gen now!

Sure guys, I'm not trying to start an argument. Just stating cars are built for different reasons and for different potential buyers. I just think from a business point of view, you take a look at your target and you develop a product that captures who you want. Dodge did that with this car.

So if it's deficient in the 1/4 mile, heavy, expensive, but still sells, is it a bad overpriced vehicle? Maybe in the minds of those who can't afford it, don't like the manufacturer, or who prefer straight-line acceleration (or any other set of criteria) as their main measuring stick.
