amanda and i had a charger for about a month of 2006, and while it was a slow pig, i was pleased with it...
Was this with a 3.5L or one of the rental fleet 2.7L? If you don't mind me asking, why did you have a Charger temporarily?

BMW look-alike... WEAK!!!! Well, I dont like Pontiac so I'm gonna say it's ugly. But then again, the only good looking Pontiac is the GTO. The rest are ugly (to me). Too much hype I believe. Well, I do hope that the SRT can man-handle that sucker too!
EDIT: I don't think it will sell good either. It is a GM line of car. GM is going down the hole same as FORD. DC is the only company, so far, to not start going down the hole yet. God forbid they do.
EDIT #2: http://www.g8power.com/forums/showthread.php?p=67#post67
First of this is just the front clip. Wait till you see the whole car before you cast judgement. From the info I have seen dcx should be very nervous.
DC not going down the hole? Where have you been? DC has another "turnaround" plan coming in Feb. More buyouts and layoffs due to the fact we are losing money like its going out of style. The general has turned the corner and is going in the right direction. Ford well eh... thats another story.

Well, I was aying that it looks like the BMW. Obviously I forgot to put in 'the front...' And my 'judgment' already is... F.U.C.K.I.N. UGLY! I already stated before, I don't like Pontiacs except the GTO's. But this is, to me, gonna be one ugly ass car. That's my "judgement" and why would you criticize my 'judgement'?
As for DC going down the hole, sorry for being such a s.h.i.t.head who doesn't really keep up with that stuff. I guess I was thinking with my ass when writing that one. By the way, I have been in San Diego. You asked, so I thought I'd answer ya. And losing money has never even been in-style. So why would it be "going out of style?" Hmm... That's a very odd sentence there. Oh, I'm very literal, Chase would know.

we rent quite a bit. we would rather rent a car for long car trips instead of putting the mileage on our cars. if we go anywhere more than 2 hours away, we get a rental. in the last year and a half, weve had a charger for about 5 or 6 weeks total. we had a grand cherokee for around a week, a magnum for about 2 weeks, and ive had a neon sxt several times.
the chargers are 2.7L models...a little birdie told me that a rental charger with the intake box removed and the spare pulled will run 17.25...
last time that i had a rental, it was for a little over a week, and i wanted a 300, but the ass clown who had it before me didnt bring it back in time, so i got a 2.7L charger. it was brand new. i find that i like the charger, but the arm rests are oddly positioned, especially for LONG drives. i believe that the 300 that i was supposed to have was a 3.5, so i was upset not to get it.

That explains that. The 2.7L has no business being offered in the LX cars, no power down low. Thankfully the Charger only has the 2.7L in the fleet models, but the 300 unfortuneatly has it in the base model. The 3.5L feels a lot better than what I was expecting in the Charger.
So how long ago was this?
