I like them a lot.  I can get past the weight and HP issue.  As long as motor can be modified to gain more HP, then the weight issue gets put onto the backburner...as long as the power can pull the weight effortlessly (assuming everything that came in the car stays..i.e. spare tire), I'm sure that is the ultimate goal for most folks that modify their cars for power...it is for me, lol.
I have to agree with DR though.  Out of the box, it seems that DCX just isn't trying to up the ante with it's cars enough to get a wider spectrum of buyers.  They are great looking cars, IMO, but I just don't understand what they are thinking sometimes.  I hope the Challenger will spark a lot of interest to Dodge but at the same time, I hope it doesn't.  If it does, DCX may just get too content on it and think that the Challenger can pull the weight.  If it doesn't, DCX may try harder with it's other cars (without giving up on the Challenger though).  Of course both can go in the other direction too.

I don't want 400 hp... Just a little more than 225... And when I say that can be addressed, I mean you never know it the 3.5 will get a hp bump or if they will offer a different engine.
I laugh at this Chase because, I often tell myself that, but for some reason, I keep finding things that make my car go faster, lol.  It's no longer a hobby, it's addiction!

I really do like the new Avenger. I will be looking to buy one in a year or two. I am certainly going with the AWD option, black.

Hopefully there will be some aftermarket support for this thing. I currently am sharing a Caliber R/T with my brother. CVT = teh lag
Will be looking for some more pep and also a car that can grow with me.
Or maybe a lot of pep in an SRT4? Screw kids and a family, I need some boost in my life.
Tough choices, but for now, it's hittin the books so I can make "that paper" when I graduate.

I gotta address the Avenger RT vs Charger SXT situation...

Winner in bold

Avenger RT FWD -- 235 hp / 3,568 lbs / lbs per horse: 15.18 / starting price of $23,545
Charger SXT RWD-- 250 hp / 3,820 lbs / lbs per horse: 15.28 / starting price of $26,580

Why would I want a Charger SXT over the better looking Avenger RT; when the Avenger is cheaper by $3,000, lighter by 252 lbs and probably faster with it's better lbs/hp ratio and 6-speed autostick?

I think it will fly look at its specs but will die becuase of its looks. Its between a SUV and a Van. I got behind one the other day with my veng and I didn't know it was a New veng till my moms pointed out the name. Its looks like a longer version of the Mazda RX-8 but the Dodge front. YEAH look at the side view and stop were the front door and fender meet and look back its looks like a RX8 but with and extra door.
