I agree, not a looker for sure...but it is better than the current offerings from Toyota and Honda...who would have thought the upside down bath tub look of a Porsche would be aerodynamic...

100 mph top speed isn't to bad either. my 03 neon sxt didn't have the power to go over 105.
Do you have a governor on that Neon? My Avenger has nearly the same power and it's top speed is over 130. I get 28 city and 35 highway. If I could keep that power and double my economy I would be happy.

it would have alot to do with the power range and gearing as well.

i had an automatic neon sxt. the highest i got it was 112 when i was already at 105 then started going down a hill. no governor, trust me i know how those things feel. i was driving from school to bestbuy (12 miles) no one on the road so i was flooring ti the whole way and it just wouldn't get higher then 105. when we got to best buy we opened the hood and that was the hottest engine i had ever been around.

Buy American, break down tomorrow
Matt, why are you on a dodge site let alone a mod if you think that about American cars. come on now.

Everyone wants American cars to be better, and we all know they have potential, but they don't prove themselves worthy against cheaper competitors such as the Civic, car of the year and one the best examples possible. You know what I mean Nick? It's not dissing our brands..

It looks fantastic!

I agree the car does look bad

schizophrenia?








157 mpg is great, but id rather get 15 mpg in a truck that looks good than a car that looks like ****

The back I can agree with and how it slopes down insead of being squarish like a regular car.
