hmm. what makes me mad is that they put this huge 6.4l in a car... thats cool, but what about the dodge rams? the dodge ram needs a larger motor for the towing, and if you put that 6.4 hemi in a ram, chevy and ford would have there tail in between there legs. DO IT!! rams wanna go fast to!

This dude should not be saying "swagger"

@turbob84 Strange. I never was a Chrysler fan until mid-2011.

[turbob84]

@DatGuyRawkz I was a huge Chrysler fan but after the pause between 2005-2010 I had nothing to say about it. If you make something as good as "300 - Car of the year" for 2004 you need to move forward instead of staying on one place

@turbob84 Not a big fan of BMWs. They're nice and all, just not exactly my taste.

[turbob84]

@DatGuyRawkz I have and older 7-series BMW. I used to have a Chrysler LHS, very comfy vehicle but just not build to last. So I kind of have a good idea of both brands

[DatGuyRawkz]

@turbob84 Which car is that, BTW?

[TheMaauw]

i dont like the new grill at all, the back of the car is sexy tho

[turbob84]

@DatGuyRawkz Nothing personal pal. I really like how we exchange comments :) I hope you enjoy this car as much as I enjoy mine :)
