gmc is deffinatly in my blood im not ever going to refuse that. but when im offered a possible deal on a dodge charger thats cheaper for a better car, i cant refuse that. it all depends on how things go, but it looks like the charger is comming closest. especially if i can pick one up 3yrs old, around 50k and only 8 grand purchase price

Hopefully it doesn't have the 2.7L EER engine. That thing is such a snail. It's not even fun to drive.

Not to mention its an unreliable hunk of crap. And I mean that, looks at reviews of the Dodge 2.7L, they really stink.

My Uncle rented one and drove up to the Poconos to visit from TN, he hated it the whole way, so I took it for a drive. I even tried using the manual mode of the automatic and I just couldn't get it to move or anything. It was a horrid car (also the steering wheel was very uncomfortable to me)

Not to mention the HORRIBLE blind spot that the Avenger and Chargers have. Yes the Monte has a blind spot too, but I the Dodge's are even worse.

if dodge had so many problems with chargers or 300's, they wouldnt still be selling them, they are obviously doing something wright if you see them all out on the roads. i guess i cant complain till i drive one. and if i dont like it, i can still turn around and flip it for profit
