It was a serious question. I thought I may have missed a special edition or something.

But it's not the dodge that I loved for all the years and I guess I resent the fact that they are using Iconic names just as marketing ploys anymore plus they aren't really even an American car company anymore.

By the way, What year did they make the SRT5 neon? I never heard of it.

HA! It's the super special edition with a Volvo turbo 5 cylinder and AWD and super turbo boost to jump things.

Anyways, I have to to. Fact is I have had far better with my Chryslers than my GMs and i have owned quite a few more GM products. Hell I have had less problems in 4 years and 85k miles in my Patriot than my brother has had in 2 months and only a few 1000 miles in his 09 CTS, yes he bought it used with 59k miles, BUT the issues are not abuse related and are factory defects, like the recurring puddles of water in the floorboard, recurring engine miss they keep saying is a coil, replace it and it comes back shortly, clicking in the steering wheel, electronic climate controls not working (probably because of the leak issue) and noise around the sunroof. That is just since October. Yes it had 59k miles on it when he bought it, but in contrast his wife has an 06 Kia Optima, bought with roughly the same mileage. They have put 30k miles on it and the only issue they have ever had is a sticking brake caliper, that is it. I feel bad. he wanted an Audi, but I talked him into the CTS because I thought it would be the better, more reliable, less trouble free car. i had faith GM had improved since my 00 GTP basically fell apart before 120k miles, there's egg on my face I guess. After all the thinking and such of what I want to get for my next car I will probably be sticking with Chrysler products, they just happen to be what has been good to me. An AWD Dart R/T is really tempting right now too.
