Seriously (again), I like the Charger and Challenger a whole lot. All domestics are about the same reliablity-wise, but I do like the style of the newer Chryslers.
I recently rented a Challanger and posted a review at Epinions. I gave it a failing grade.

You rented a Dodge Challenger? I'm almost certain that you mean Charger because the Challenger isn't out yet.

My wife wanted a Kia sportage when she was shopping back in 2004 but I talked her out of it. She got a CRV and loves it.

Get the car you want and drive it and leave your wife to what she wants.

That way you're both happy.

I'm a petrolhead and that's the way we do it here.

That said, I like my wife's car too.

But this ain't an Automotive discussion, is it?

Did you show her the Scion XB? It's manufactured by Toyota. The XB reminds me a bit of a PT Cruiser but on steroids.

In the end though, it was smart of you to let her have a car she likes

A man who was married for 65 years was asked: "What was the secret of your successful marriage?" He replied: "Two words". The interviewer asked: "May I inquire as to what they are?" His answer..............."Yes, Dear"

When it comes to domestics, I don't really care for any of them. Not from an engineering standpoint, anyway. I rarely, if ever, drive a car from the Big Three that wows me with it's handling prowess.
The only thing they seem to be able to offer is styling. Chrysler by far is my favorite in that category. GM is stuck in the 90's, when it's not copying Toyota. Ford's are very bland.
I don't know if the current generation of Chrysler styling will hold up like the Europeans usually do, but I hope it does.

Well I hope so. Every domestic car I know of is a piece of schit.
