Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
Just drove a Chrysler 300 for the last 7 days in Vegas. Interesting experience.
Of the few things to like was the gas milage. Seriously I drove that thing all over town. Took almost five days to go thru a tank of gas. I didn't bother to look under the hood but it had to be a 6 cylinder under there.

The most disconcerting thing to begin with was when i stepped on the gas and it hardly moved. I finally figured out that pushing harder on the gas pedal finally made it go. I thought it was going to jump out of the blocks suddenly if i pressed to hard but nope it was just under-powered. Lot's of other negatives and i'll list them later when i get time.

Interesting. I rented a Dodge Charger a few years ago in Miami.
It had the high output 250hp V6, and we went through the gas like crazy! Definitely below 20mpg! But, it was a rocket when you slammed the gas.

Who thinks gas is going to go below 2.99 again? LOL. Interesting though, cuz you can use this for any car... so anyone in NY/LI that buys a chrysler - I'll give you $3.25 for gas.. you'll turn a .26ct profit on Chrysler if i'm not mistaken.

I don't mind the 300s or the Chargers. rented one when i was in Canada and I liked it.

If the price of fuel dips below $2.99 customers can just pay with another card or cash.

This could also be a sign from god that the price of gas will go way down as soon as you sign on the dotted line...

Please tell us why you like the Milan better than a Jetta?

Did you look at the Wolfsburg Jetta?

For 22k or whatever it is, you get the 2.0t DSG, leather, etc.
