Love it - almost as much as my Dodge Ram :)  It's comfy, has sufficient
power, looks nice, and illicits reactions of "gawdam that's nice" or
"gawddam its ugly".

It also is *extremely* well mannered at 100+ MPH.

We test drove the automatic, and decided on the 5-speed.  As with all
automatics, you lose some power through the auto tranny...

The turbo is coming, but it might not make it for '03.  Might have to wait
for '04.  The same engine (2.4l I-4) sports a turbo in the new-for-2003 Neon
SRT-4, so it might be closer than Chrysler is letting on.
