i know, i couldn't believe it's a chrystler either...

yeah... to see that picture with a "Chrysler" name is really a surprise. But yes, unfortunately it is just a concept/PR car. Maybe the response they are getting on it will make them consider actually building such a car for the public.

Looks good. But i'll start paying attention to American cars when they start building good, reliable ones.

Not keeping up with the times I see.
You will find surprisingly high quailty ratings on quite a few American cars models. Maybe someday the French will catch up.

French are actually good quality cars. Only Renault started making "lunochods"* recently.

I used to work/manage a car restoration shop. Body,mech. The french cars were always the worst. But that was a quite a few years ago. You'd get parts from the factory (after waiting) and they wouldn't even fit. We eventually stopped working on them, unless they were good clients. The mechanics hated them. And one of them was French. He like to call them Sheet boxes. The guys that I still talk to from there, say, that they've gone downhill since then.

My friend has a 607 Peugeot. Neat.

My last car was a Renault. No problems. The major French manufacturers woke up and invested in decent production machinery a few years ago.

Then maybe they dump the ones that fail the quality controls on the US?

Interestingly I can't find any data on French cars on the US JD Power site.

Very nice. I'd like to see a race with this car versus the Pagani Zonda and the Koenigsegg.

I am keeping up with the times. I would buy a Honda, Toyota or Nissan over any corresponding model of Chrysler, Ford or GM any time. I will admit that Chrysler and Ford have made progress over the last 15 years but it's not enough to come close to the Japanese IMO. I won't even mention GM

I'm not French and i wouldn't buy a French car either: i don't know enough about them and they don't have a big enough dealership network for me to trust thay'll be there when i need them.

Yep, in the last few years American cars have also being up their in the actual quality of the car. They've really stepped up and even my dad says they're ok now. And he hates 90% of the cars anyway because they're crap quality and won't last without breaking all the time.

THis was the Benz I was talking about

Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren.. uu baby this is a nice car!

[Pekka]

Want them doors up? Can do!

[SpencerH]

Never say never but.............. I will never buy another american car unless I win a big lottery (then I'll get a viper)

That doesnt mean I'd buy a french car though.

Bow down to the Koenigsegg:
