It's my first Chrysler so time will tell if it's a good call. I hear the online crowd jeering Chrysler, but who knows of they're just excited to hear their own computer keys clanking.

yes, I recognise that I'm that way about Chevy.
The irony is not lost.

Wait, you got rid of the ST?

You got a 200!?!?! You get a deal on it?

I've actually been thinking of getting the new Ridgeline lately.

Bk, I got rid of the ST in favor of a Mazda3 and then ditched the 3 in favpr of a 300S. The 200 does nothing for me.

There was $13k on the hood of the 300. So far so good.

I own the fact that I'm a serial monogomist when it comes to my vehicular decisions.

serial monogamist?? since when have you owned only one car at a time??

W.R.T. Cereal Monogamy,....

I was thinkin he learnt his lesson NOT to trade in his wife and expect anything different than same issues in a different body style.

TBH I think in the 13 years I've been driving I've only ever had a single car for 8 months.

If I were King of the World, anyone who thinks about buying an automatic, with the exception of severe handicap, needs mandatory education. Then if they continue to think about buying an automatic, they need to have their head examined.

And as long as I am King of the World, any manufacturer who produces a vehicle with an automatic, will have to pay a penalty, say 90% of profit on that vehicle to subsidize purchases of manual transmission equipped vehicles.

Never!
