Another reason Chrysler stinks.

[Theron J. Bliss]

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I had considered a 300M at one point.  After
all, their commercials talked about how quick and powerful it was, and that
it was in a league of it's own.  0-60 specs are in the high 8's.  I think
the Neon will blow it's doors off.  I know that my old GTI would have no
problem.

Pathetic.
