  1. Chrysler lost their freaking minds when they decided to stop selling the SRT versions of the 300. Brand overlap? So, the fuck, what.

     

    Challenger? Charger? Yeah whatever ok. Hellcat in a 300? Now please.

     

    Oh and btw - word is Saudi Arabia still gets a full-on tits version of the 300.

     

    Fuck Chrysler America management and their business decisions.

  2. Going to chime in on the V here.

     

    Bought my 04 new. Its now 2016 and I still own it. Am only now starting to consider replacements. I have never owned a car as long as I've owned this one, up until this I owned a car ~2-3 years tops and swapped em out for the new shiny.

     

    Drove this car every single day to work for 12 years, its still my daily, and has never let me down. It just served my duties so well I never felt compelled to upgrade.

     

    For me cost-wise really its only been: brakes and tires, brakes and tires. I did wear out one front shock and replaced the front pair for that. The rear diff is just now starting to exhibit a little whine, and I probably should touch the bushings, and the V badges have faded abit, but the thing is just a dependable workhorse. 125k miles, outside year round since my boy was born (8yrs now).

    If you'd ask me I'd get that usage out of a Z06 Corvette engine'd car 12 years ago I'd have looked at you sideways.

     

    Anecdotal yes, but I thought I'd throw that in there. If you're looking for a cheap year round DD you could do far worse.

  3. Seriously though, if you do get into it I would like to hear your thoughts on living with the CUE system over time. Is it something you get used to?

     

    That's honestly the one thing holding me back from trading in my current V, literally. I just hated it for the few days I'd have one as a loaner and always wondered if it got better as you acclimated to it.

  4. So, tldr:

    Camaro gets all its stuff from the ATS platform in an ugly body.

     

    Conclusion: Buy the ATS

     

    jk. I like the Camaro's mechanicals. I like the Mustang's looks and interior better. Laughed at the article saying the Camaro interior better, based one one thing: live with your center console vents being down at the bottom of your stick shift for a year and then come tell me how awesome it is. That's just stupid design. But I can't comment on the materials used since I haven't felt them so they may be better.

     

    Still think the GT350 is the better car all around, but you pay for it.

     

    And I'm actually leaning closer to the Focus RS. Spring will tell.

     

    ...If only Cadillac would do the sane thing and take CUE out behind the shed and shoot it.

  5. Nice to see them getting delivered. As for video/interview feedback, I would suggest getting out from in front of the car for some period of the interview and also maybe interspersing shots of the car over the audio of the interview. As it was it was just 2 guys in the way of what we wanted to look at.

     

    Still, well done getting that scoop. Jealous of the dude. May have to change my order form to avalanche now having seen that.

  6. /\ I love how Delaware just has a stick pointing to nothing. Not the word "none". Blank.

     

    lol

     

    Having lived there, and having tried to point out Delaware to my european inlaws on a european map of the US that didn't even have Delaware on it, I can relate and rofl

  7. hmm I was seriously considering this car after reading the articles. I kinda like the exterior too. Not a fan of the rear but its not a deal breaker. Hmm, maybe maybe... And I'm on the list for a 16 GT350.

     

    And then I saw the maro's interior. OMFG that is hideous. Did they hire the designers from Fischer Price that used to do the old Pontiac interior trims? *puke*

    Dealbreaker.

    It could do 0-60 in 1sec and shit gold. I can't look at that dash all commute.
