I have been looking at the new Altima 3.5 5 speed. Its a sweet power plant. I would die for one in the Intrepid. The cars is fast. Very fast, I bet in would kill my 72 Charger with its 383. The styling is a little weak, but most imports are. I have had Chryslers since my first car(72 Charger(318),82 Charger 2.2,84 Daytona Turbo,85 Lancer Turbo,87 Daytona Shelby,89 Lebaron Convertible(wifes),91 Stealth,96 Voyager(wifes car),98 Intrepid,01 PT cruiser(wifes). Chrysler has alway had the best design. The Build quality and reliability always needed work. I am looking for a new car but Chrysler has nothing I would buy. The Intrepid is the same as my 98,The 300m is also unchanged and needs a replacement. The Sebring Coupe is just bad. My sister has one with the 3.0 5 speed and the thing is not a good sports car,not a good coupe,its a car trying to be many things and doing none well. The Neon is Cheap. If Chrysler would tell me they would do a car like the Charger concept I would wait. The problem is it looks like with the Diamler people in charge DC may of lost its design leadership. Time will tell. I will wait to see whats shows up at the Detroit auto show. If The concepts are as bad as last years(green hornet ride) I will be seeing my local Nissan dealer soon.
