Seems like all top-five are very emotional-buys (Corvette, Prius, 911)...cars who's owners are willing to overlook flaws because they love it so much.

Thats exactly what I thought, not many flawless cars there... more.... emotional cars. Whether it be the throwback muscle car, the sports cars, or the wacko nutjob prius . lol.

ultimately that is what everyone ends up choosing....the car that makes them feel emotionally satisfied .....along with the positives of a car.

Then again not near as many people own a Challenger as they do a Mustang/Camaro... but this should do bring Chrysler some good publicity.

I know that Dodge is planning on an interior upgrade to the Challenger which will really make it unique and special a vehicle. I might consider buying a second muscle car if they do....

Case in point, look at the last time all three cars existed. The Mopars had the smallest following of all three, but it was also the most fanatical.

I guess you feel better about your buy if you don't see your car everywhere like mustang owners

In a strange sort of way, this doesn't surprise me. Challenger guys seem to just be in total love with their cars.

The Prius just annoys me. It's not because they love the car so much as the car makes them feel good about themselves. I won't go down my Prius-hate path today though.

Sounds like the first round of Pontiac Aztek buyers... which I can speak for first-hand. Yes - my tastes have vastly improved...
