Aspen/Durango - same vehicle (waste of time for DC)
Caliber/Compass - same vehicle (again, waste of time for DC)
Ram - DR/DH/D1 - 'bout time they have more options for work trucks
Dakota - Uhhh...ok, it looks better then the '05 model but still needs a
SRT8 power plant since the SRT10 is pretty much dead
300/Magnum/Charger - Keep this line
Jeep Commander - ok, why build a bigger SUV when it's problematic??? The
Grand Cherokee is fine
Wrangler (2DR/4DR) - Finally..someone at DC was listening - 4DR is the
answer to the H3
Sebring - Nice!! 3.5L in this vehicle is a rocket and still gets excellent
mileage
Avenger - OK...c'mon DC, throw an SRT4 engine in there
Crossfire - Leave that one to Mercedes - not a huge market at all
Viper - 'Nuff Said (Still top dog)

I was talking to my brother the other day and he is in the market for a
new vehicle. He was telliong me how all the american hybrid vehicles have
the same gas mileage as their traditional counterparts but with more hp.
That's how the american companies are dealing with the fuel prices. Just
look at the new 4.7. It's a more efficient deisgn. Instead of increasing
fuel economy, they increased hp.
