I am watching this very close! Obviously i can't afford another car
now...but if they come out with the first redesign (more power) in 05 i will
have one in my possession, just may be my fiance's...
as for no good cars in Canada...All i can say is just come to Carlisle and
take home a new mopar...may need to order it early. do you have to pay some
crazy tax to take something like that over the border?
