Is that that station wagon? I don't like the abrupt boxed nose on that
one. It looks too high and square when I compare it to the slope of the
rear roofline. All grille and headlights.

Which brings up that Cadillac with the shoebox nose and 4 rectangular
headlights. Just doesn't have refined style to my eyes.

Speaking of wagons - Chevy oughta go retro with a '57to'07 Nomad. That'd
be tres cool.

Yeah, my hat's off to Chrysler for giving their design folks some free
reign. They've struck me, in comparison to the other mainstream auto
makers, as Apple Computer is to the PC world. They're really doing some
innovative stuff on 4 wheels.

They are going for the roof-chopped hot rod look. It works for me. Better
than the Chrysler sedan version. The SRT version will have something like
425 hp. Not bad.

I was refering to the Prowler (Thanks Dad...you were right in that it
was forgetable...d I did forget its name) ... Just way underpowered

The PT Cruisers have been showing up at the Saturday Night Cruise Ins
now for quite some time and to be honest I just walk on by as I walk
around nothing about the PT Cruiser interests me...

As for being a Hemi type of guy.... hell yes... lol... but to be
honest I have not been drawn to the Magnum...or lets say I do not
remember what it even looks like...

My everyday vehicle is a Dodge Dakota (2001 3.9 5 speed) that was a
mistake to buy....no problems with it BUT oh what lack of power... I
should have bought a V8
