Oh, I thought you said you were looking for pimping/luxury? Or are you looking for speed now..? American or foreign? Style vs ugly? Reliable or fix every week? I don't understand what you are looking for. Describe fully what you are looking for please.
Sounds to me like speed and luxury... go with Mercedes slk500..? What is your price limit..
But if you drove the avalon.. you would like it. I didn't know you were picky about styling since you chose the charger, the ugliest thing since the pontiac aztek..

I drove by one at the dealer yesterday, and the Charger isn't exactly my cup of tea (too heavy and wish it came with a manual) but overall I think it looks good, even though it's the incestuous offspring of the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300, hopefully without the hereditary defects. I hope it sells well enough, because Daimler-Chrysler is the only "Big 3" OEM from which I'd consider buying an affordable car.

yeah, the GTO isn't even a possibility since they have only 37" of headroom which is over an inch less than what I have in the 350Z right now. As far as looks, that's purely subjective but like I said I like the Charger looks MUCH better than the Rustang....just check these out:

The new Charger is bad @$$ all the way. A big American car that you can actually be COMFORTABLE in is cool! The best part is BIG TORQUE! The SRT/8 version is gonna rock!
Every car has a place in life. I LOVE my Evo for what it is... I also LOVE the new Charger for being a big, bold, bad American with a smooth and powerful V8.

Yeah some people just dont get it saying stuff about Dodge like Mitsu is really any better...I dont think you can get any worse situation than Mitsu right now......I own a Mitsu and it doesnt bother me but cmon you dont have to disrespect other manufacturers.........plus its what people like.....I know a hell of alot more people who would take a Charger over a Mitsu.................I even would now with the situation Mitsu's in

I'd take the upcoming Shelby GT500 over the SRT8 Charger especially if having 4 doors wasn't a necessity
