This guy's driven and written articles about more cars than you've ever even read about. Compared to you and your "Allpar" link, I think I know where I'll put my money.

They're right, Ca$h. It's not JUST a chrysler engine. Just like most Chrysler engines aren't totally Chrysler engines. But we won't go into that now.

. . . consider the source. Ultra-liberal Public Radio. They always preach economy this and frugal that without regard to their soccer-mom, Lexus, BMW and Mercedes SUV-driving audience.

His 'friend' was going to buy a what? A Passat?! Yeah, he'll probably want the W8 (I would), which would mean that he'd pay half again what he would for the ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE, better handling WRX. I have no idea why their giving all this press (and actually, it's good press) to Subaru when that commercial is no more moving (well, maybe to US ) than the already mentioned Nissan. Or how about Mazda (Zoom zoom zoom)? These guys are like 'local color' newspaper columnists. They just couldn't work up any real inspiration, so they decided to rant about nothing. PBS is state-sponsored propaganda anyway.

Ya-a-a-a-a-a-a! My second car is a Volvo! What am I saying?! Please pardon my hypocrisy.

For those in Pittsburgh, I just saw a preview that one of the local stations "Ch 4" is doing a segment on the evening news about Car TV ads depicting high speed driving and shuch. Should be pretty interesting.

Sorry, I consider www.allpar.com to be an EXCELLENT source of credible information, in contrast to your 'friend' who's into BMWs. Its a f*cking chrysler engine. They've been usign the exact same engine in export neons for years.

Actually, moron, he's not all that fond of BMW's, although he did have an M5 for awhile. In addition to the Mini-S, he's got a '61 Mini, Jag XJ6, Jag XK8, '62 'Vette, and an AC Cobra. He used to race 911's and did articles and photo shoots for Sportscar International.

Or I could listen to you and your neon.... which one of you does the talking BTW??

CJ

Actually, MORON, I don't have a neon. However, I think a certified website that deals SPECIFICALLY with automotive information is MUCH more credible htan some auto enthusiast. THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN USED IN EXPORT NEONS FOR YEARS.

Certified?? You maybe..... can't speak for them.

Why am I even still responding??? End of topic, as far a I am concerned. Rant away if you wish.

I know I'm not one to talk about taking threads off topic, but, if we continue on these Mopar tirades, every single time we turn around, I'm going to have to start deleting complete threads. This would be a shame, since, often there is good information associated with them. But, enough of the name calling, enough of the Mopar, Dodge, Chrysler stuff. Let's all give it a rest.

No. Someone said the mini is better than a chrysler. I stated one thing, that the mini has a chrysler engine. Then everyone denies it and calls me stupid. So I back it up WITH SPECIFIC information, and now some nimrod is going to say that I"M WRONG because he has a friend? No. I respect you and all, but I can't stand misinformation, and the BMW friend is totally reiterating BS info.

[Aredubjay]

YES! Give it a rest! I'm tired of dealing with this crap! It's unnecessary and counterproductive. Quit beatin' your horse unless you're ridin' it out of here.

[Shadow248]

Instead of deleting threads, just delete certain members.

[wasions]

Can't you just feel the love.

I believe to preserve the peace around here, things need to start happening. I am begging you all, PLEASE try to get along. I'm really becomming ashamed of this place.

Lets try to start from scratch AGAIN.
