Sounds like a pretty sweet car. However...in price it is extremely close to a Z06 Vette which would be a much better value.

Well, it is nice that they beefed it up, but it still really isn't my cup of tea. It would be fun to test drive/rent for a day and screw around in, but like someone else already said, for 45k you can get plenty of other cars that would be more fun to own.

Have you seen the car upclose and in person? The interior is plasticky (?) and it looks cheap. When sitting inside it, not very comfortabl, and if you're a small person, like me (~5'7"), you'll find the seats are not accommodating at all. Too much empty spaces, and the rear seats are small.

I have yet to see one in person, but I'm not really dying to see one in person either ;)

Now I guess I have good reason not to want to see one in person :roll:

Personally, I'd rather spend 5k more and get a Cadillac CTS-V. It is fast and it seats 4, so you could even use it as a daily driver, although a z06 gets better mileage.(but the Caddy weighs something like 800lbs more, so no surprise)

Why not just get a 300C which is about $18,000 less than either of 'em :p

Because I think the 300C is ugly as sin ;)

There is nothing Chrysler about this car except the badge. It's an AMG Mercedes made in Germany.
I frankly don't see much point to it. It's too boring to be a Halo car for Chrysler. They might as well have kept making the Prowler. I think the 300C is a much better Halo car for them.
It is a great deal if you look at it as an AMG Benz, but it's a bad deal if you look at it as a Chrysler, which is what it's sold as. It is not American muscle, it's all German. They should have put the Hemi in it, at least to give it some American blood.
