I was thinking on a more broad point. My disillusionment with the current big 2.5 product portfolio. Chrysler is trying but let's look at the biggest car segent there is; mid size sedans:
Chevy: Malibu - Not bad but far from pretty
Pontiac: G6 - has potential, have to see more
Olds: Dead
Buick: LaCrosse - new maybe improved, have to be 55y/o to be excited
Caddy: CTS - looks good, especially in V form, way more expensive then anything else on the list
ford: Taurus - boring, dull, small, cheap, ugly, rides rough, etc...
Mercury: Sable - see above
Lincoln: LS - bigger then mid size; Zephyr all-new midsize luanches with the luxo brakthrough of FWD!
Dodge: Stratus - hello Enterprise
Chyrsler: Sebring - has been
Let's look outside the U.S.
Subaru: Legacy - now available with a Turbo 4, better styling
Nissan: Altima - new SE-R model has 255hp V-6, great looker
Toyota: Camry - boring bland exterior, rock solid reliable
Honda: Accord - got uglier then last gen, will run forever with A+ depriciation
Mazda: 6 - not bad, for a ford! no, looks like a winner
Mitsubishi: Galant - losing money so fast, looks like the red sea at Mitsu
Everything European is usually more expensive
These are my thought, and I welcome additions, subtractions, and comments.
