They're stylish, fast, luxurious and great on gas. So why buy a Honda civic or even grosser Hyunda Elantra when you can have good old mexican-american workmanship and handling with these great vehicles?

Those cars you posted are absolute junk. An Intrepid come on, your joking, worst car ever made. Even if I got given one for free I would sell it or light it on fire. The trucks and Jeep side I do really like though but seems like you are taking about their garbage cars. I ll take a Honda civic over a Intrepid, Caliber, LHS, any day of the week.

Now go buy yourself a Sebring convertible :rofl:

Chrysler/Dodge has definately made some great cars over the last few years but none of the ones you are reffereing to could even be called mediocre cars. Some of the better ones:

Neon SRT4's (not Calibers)
SRT 6,8,10's (not Challenger)
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Ram's

I fucking loved the 300M. Comfortable as hell.

The Intrepids had tons of oiling issues with the 2.7L V6 in which the oil passages would get gummed up. However, this was moreso a problem for people who took a rather cavalier approach to doing oil changes and regular maintenance... surprise, just like many domestic owners.

My wife loved the Grand Cherokee we used to own. It was great in the winter, if you can look past the paint peeling off the hood before 100K km, the front hubs, catalytic converter, and trans all taking a dump before 160K km, the spare tire stored in the back storage area, random CELs and no starts, power windows quitting for no reason, the lousy fuel mileage, the flapping windshield rubber...
Really, it was a great car.
Later we upgraded to a T&C-another great vehicle. Except for the front end rattle that never went away no matter what we replaced, the bad transmission control module, the two bad speed sensors, the bad alternator that left her stranded on 22X and had me changing it in a rainstorm, the power rear tailgate that worked intermittently, the broken cowl cover, the leaking valve covers (since I had it apart to replace the gaskets I replaced the cowl cover only to have it break in the exact same spot while tightening it down), the lousy fuel mileage, the bead leaks from the same rim even after having it re-mounted...
It, too, was a great car.

I owned an Intrepid for two years, and I'll admit I only gave it a chance because it was given to me. It did nothing but cost me a shit load of money even though all the routine maintenance was kept up on it from new. Worst. Car. Ever. The reason they're a "decent" price is because anyone that has one, realizes how much of a POS it is, and just wants to unload it.

If Chrysler could have kept far far away from Mitsubishi (a Japaneese company none the less)they may have a better rep,from the early 80's starting with the misu built 2.6 4cyl (my grandfather bought a new Caravan in 86 with this boat anchor engine)Then the 3.0l mitsu v6 they put in everything from luxury cars,vans,and sports cars,which also had tons of problems,and then this gen of engines (2.7) which mitsu helped develop for Chrysler.also met with endless problems.

The Chrysler built engines seem to last,the 3.3v6 and 3.8 they have had forever.Now that they are finished with Mitsu perhaps engine reliability will improve.

Growing up, we had the un-coolest car ever, a 1985 Plymouth Voyager with the 4-cylinder and a 5 speed. The bloody thing ran to 400,000km.

But there is literally not a single chrysler built now that I would consider over its competition.

I drive a 91 Acura that cost more in 1991 than most Chrysler's do now. My brother in law's brand new car won't start in the cold unless it's plugged. Acura: each and everytime hehe.

I can't actually see someone liking Chrysler this much. He must be fucking with us....Cuz if not he's a moron.

because they are pieces of shit, they always were and Chrysler never bothered to make em any better

lol why are you bashing the elantra or the civic ? the civic will run forever and for elantra, my dad bought a brand new 2000 elantra back in the day and it went 150k without having any work done(changed struts at 150k cause he used it to carry a extremely heavy loads)

and for mexico..

Ever since the maxima started being produced in mexico it has turned into shit, my dad was unfortunate enough to buy a used 2004 maxima 2 years ago with around 95k which was the year it began being assembled in mexico and I must I've never seen a car go through this many problems for a 4 year old car, kinda reminds me of chrysler/dodge

I do like some of their trucks however

Why is this thread still not closed or deleted, I haven't had any serious problems with the Sebring(or the Avenger before that), nothing outside of usual wear and tear from a 10 year old car. No problems starting in the winter even if there are week long periods of it not being started and sitting outside in the snow.

To be honest I don't like half the cars I see out there from all makers, there are a lot of cars I just don't like the look of, can't say I'm a big Chrysler guy either but I'd still hit the 95-00 Avenger and Grandpa mobile.

but I have to admit they didn't do a bad job w/ the old Benz E series chassis and the 5.7 hemi that's been thrown into just about everything...

The SRT4 has always been good "value", but that doesn't necesarially mean its a good car

My buddy's old Neon ACR was alot of fun

The mitsubishi joint ventures such as the Talon

I worked as a technition for dodge for years.

intrepid = junk, the 2.7L engine is garabage the 3.3 and 3.5 were better, but the car with that was still only somewhat reliable. and a pig on gas.

sebring/dodge avenger both are crap, 2.5, or 2.7 not worth the weight in scrap metal.

dodge trucks hard on fuel, decen't reliability, hard on front steering and suspension parts
dodge trucks with the cummins engine more reliable, but also harder on suspension parts

neon, cheap car somewhat reliable, cheaply built and it shows, always keep spare fluids to top up all the leaks you will have.

dodge caravan. reasonable quality (as long as it is 2004+) that way you stay away from the crappy transmissions. (still do have some fail but not like pre 2004)
not as good on gas as they should be, but tollerable.

ptcruiser=pt looser enough said. if you were to paint a neon pink, and have a rainbow sticker this is what you end up with.
even the try of adding a turbo to try and make more sales and make it less gay only made the car better for those not out of the closet yet.

dodge charger/ 300/ challanger hard on gas no matter what engine you pick, reliable, a step in the right direction as far as dodge/chrysler is concerned and an improvement over the last 10 years of cars.

and the pacifica. who really wants one of them anyway

crossfire aka missfire. rebadged benz, but built cheaper.

jeep I'll group them together. a little tough on suspenstion parts, engines are strong, transmissions are decent, not great on gas. but a jeep isn't suposed to be

compass/ patriot ARE NOT A REAL JEEP, it is a jeep badge on a neon replacement of the caliber.

caliber, I rather have a newer model neon.

lol, what the fuck is beyond coming too?, stupid ass kids. Chrysler better then Honda? your mom must of got kicked in the stomach while she was pregnant with you boy. Grow the fuck up and do your research before you start talking non sense. Honda is makers of one of the most reliable, fuel efficient vehicles ever intruduced. No automakers can really compete with toyota and honda in those aspects. The only North American company thats stepping their game up is Ford, and thats becuase of the worderful job their new CEO since 2006 has done restructuring Ford. Dodge/ Chrysler really need to learn from Ford. GM sure has look how their trying to restructure their whole brand.

Easy mr. brownchild... just cause you've own(ed) more than several Honda doesn't validate your sentiments

To me, Honda does build reliable utilitarian vehicles, but beyond being masters of the 4 cyl engines (including the inline 4s in their bikes)... they don't impress me as much as Toyota.... who are associated to boring "vanilla" type cars.. but have a larger range of offerings, especially in international markets, such as their diesel'd Landcruisers


When it comes down to innovation and ingenunity, I'm certain that European companies such as Volvo, VW, Merc & BMW have brought more to the table than Honda & Toyota, especially in regards to safety.

Ford -- is one of the best vehical manufacturers in the world, and have plenty of models that have recieved international recognition and accolades... just for some reason we here in NA we get screwed over.
As you mentioned here in NA, the Focus, Fusion, new Taurus, the latest Mustang, and their Trucks are not as bad of offerings as they once were.

That's one of the big differences between GM,Ford and Chrysler.Both GM and Ford have European Subsidairy's which produce excelent cars,Chrysler only had Mitsubishi (which quality is questionable at best)and forgotten platforms from Daimler.

I was just reading a review the other day of the upcoming Buick Regal which is based on the Opal Insignia (2009 european car of the year) and it sounds like a word class car,i think we will see much more European offerings from GM and Ford in the future,and it looks like they will be great products.The joint between Fiat and Chrysler will likely have rebaged Fiats coming over to the north american markets as well.

I am quite happy with the Charger SRT8. Zero problems whatsoever over 50000 kms.

If I want great milage in a car, I would buy a Honda or Toyota. (Gas milage is better than mine)

If I want fancy Euro styling mixed with some solid performance, I would buy a Benz, Jag, BMW, etc... (interior styling is better than mine)

If I want to hate myself for being a loser while feeling proud about saving the environment, I would get a smart car (they fit into more parking spots too).

Personally I wanted a mean looking beast that has good performance and growls when you step on the peddle. Wasn't looking for a fart can sound on a 4 banger, don't care about gas, do wish Dodge stole some interior ideas from the Euros but still didn't want a "chotchy" car, and I don't give 2 shits about what David Suzuki and the gang thinks. Dodge made a solid line of cars with the SRT line (except the Calibre). They are a shit tonne of fun and the car fits with my personality.

People will drive a car to supplement or enhance the image that they see for themselves.

I'd be surprised you didn't also own a truck and work in the Rigs

I have nothing against the SRT8... its perhaps one of the last american muscles to ever be made

Your car has a big engine and is mean looking definately... but its what it is.. American Muscle
You can't compare your car to a Merc AMG regardless of what you concider chotchi or not... its not just an "interior" styling that makes the difference between your car and an AMG.

For 42K, the SRT8 is an amazing price, as is an SRT4 for 22K... and these cars are not pretending to be something their not

Oh & unlike you, I think good Ecology counts and I'd sooner drive/buy a Porsche with a flat six over an American V8

Personally... I think another issue with Chrystler is their lack of prestige. Unfortunately its always been the case, even in the glory days with or without AMC & Jeep.

Definitely not a rig pig. More along the lines of DayGlow's work. Not the same employer and no street work though. Don't own a truck... I do wish I had a truck for winter though.

Lack of pretige and the late 90's and early 2000's is what is wrong with Chrysler. The intrepid and terrible management decisions really soured opinions on what is otherwise a pretty good company. It would also appear that the recession may have beat some sense into the company. Hopefully it lasts.

If I want fancy Euro styling mixed with some solid performance, I would buy a Benz, Jag, BMW, etc... (interior styling is better than mine)

If I want to hate myself for being a loser while feeling proud about saving the environment, I would get a smart car (they fit into more parking spots too).

Personally I wanted a mean looking beast that has good performance and growls when you step on the peddle. Wasn't looking for a fart can sound on a 4 banger, don't care about gas, do wish Dodge stole some interior ideas from the Euros but still didn't want a "chotchy" car, and I don't give 2 shits about what David Suzuki and the gang thinks. Dodge made a solid line of cars with the SRT line (except the Calibre). They are a shit tonne of fun and the car fits with my personality.

People will drive a car to supplement or enhance the image that they see for themselves.

I hate anything dodge/chrysler, but still up to this day I'm contemplating getting a 2g viper or a 71-72 charger/roadrunner no matter the drawbacks

Grow the fuck up and do your research before you start talking non sense. Honda is makers of one of the most reliable, fuel efficient vehicles ever intruduced. No automakers can really compete with toyota and honda in those aspects. The only North American company thats stepping their game up is Ford, and thats becuase of the worderful job their new CEO since 2006 has done restructuring Ford. Dodge/ Chrysler really need to learn from Ford. GM sure has look how their trying to restructure their whole brand.

You realize he iz a troll right?

That is a very interesting report...i love these quotes....

"Chrysler’s three brands all slipped further in the ratings. The Jeep brand ranked 30th, with Dodge just behind and Chrysler dead last in the rankings.

Consumer Reports says more than a third of Chrysler models through the 2009 model year were “much worse than average.”

I'd buy a Dodge Sprinter, but it's more Mercedes than Dodge. I think it's the best vehicle for my business.

2010 is also the last year the Dodge is allowed to cary it, then the contract is over!

In (slight) defense of the Chrysler camp, I absolutely loved my 2007 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited.


... but I also was in the unique situation of being able to trade it in and making $6k off of it after leasing it for only one of the two years of my contract, so.... :bigpimp:
