And the Ram SRT10...you are stretching it.
I think a 500hp anything would be pretty fun to drive!!



Point is, people tend to put GM down because there is no Camaro, when they dont see the other cars GM offers for the public. You might not like them or be able to afford them, but they are out there.
I totally agree... just wanted to give credit where credit is due.

What is fun to drive from Ford outside of GT and Mustang?
What is fun to drive from Chrysler outside of Magnum, 300C and Charger?

EXACTLY!!
Yeah, you can include cars from Chevy, Pontiac, Saturn & Cadillac against Ford. What about the Mazda 6, Mazdaspeed 6, Mazda 3, Mazdaspeed 3, RX-8, Zeyphr, S-Type, Thunderbird, LS, XJ, XKR?

The Ion is a Saturn, not a Chevy/Pontiac and the Solstice isn't available yet(see how I said currently available). Also, the GXP and GP is one car and is the G6 GTP available yet?

CTS-V, XLR and STS.
Notice how I said Chevy/Pontiac.

Not the point, but Ford seems to be falling for the same trend.

What is fun to drive from Chrysler outside of Magnum, 300C and Charger?
This has already been stated.

Since we all know that 4dr sedans and small cars is what sells, outside of trucks and SUVs, what is fun to drive in the Chevy/Pontiac linkup? Sure they have things just coming available as Lutz is addressing the problem. Would you rather drive a V6 Impala SS over the HEMI Charger? They are in the same price range and geared toward the same crowd.

I want to see the General produce great cars and drive all of those imports back where they came from, but they are going to need more then what they have right now. It is nice to see a V8 again in the Impala and Monte, where I think it belongs, but it is still driving the wrong wheels. Personally I think that cancalling the chassis that the new RWD sedans were going to sit on was a bad move. It just allows the compitetion to get that much bigger of a jump on them.

Mazda 6, Mazdaspeed 6, Mazda 3, Mazdaspeed 3....Uhhhhh I drove all of these models of cars when my girlfriend bought a Mazda 3 and quite frankly they all suck *****. Fun to drive? No way. They are fairly cheap, fairly comfy, decent performers, nothing more. Even the mazdaspeed versions do not wow you at all. I don't touch jags since ford took over, nor the thunderbird. The RX-8 is fun to drive, except I don't fit in the damn thing.

So, you drove the Mazdaspeed 3 and 6 that aren't even out yet?

I bet you probably think the Impala and Malibu handles like its on rails..

Ah, I made a mistake on the actual "speed" part of that car and it having the "S" denomination. That does make me look stupid, oh well though. Mazda's are not exactly my forte.

Where did the Impala and Malibu come into play? I said the RX-8 is fun to drive, and pretty clearly said I don't fit in it. I haven't driven any of the rest of the cars. When you say Thunderbird are you talking about the abomination that was discontinued? I've been in one of them, didn't drive it but that car was a POS. No need to be an *** about it.
