- first of all, they are completely comparable IMHO. comparable motors, comparable
- room, comparable prices(both out of my damn range!), comprable drive trains,
- at least, right now...(or is the GM RWD? i'm not sure..i'm fairly certain
- that the LH is FWD, but am not positive there either..doesn't make that much
- diff to me) both have fairly decent body styles, but not really up to par
- with the others that i like. Both are pretty, do not get me wrong..but i
- would buy neither because the looks impressed me right off. i do not see a
- better comparison, from my viewpoint. Neither is superior, not in any of the
- catagories i can find..haven't driven either, so i cannot comment on interior.
- and space has NOTHING to do with that!

-
- or we can have a (however many..Q)OHC(?) flat(V?) 12 from chrysler..i call it
- a Diablo. this is the ONLY chrysler i can think of that i'd buy..and i would
- not buy it for driving, except on a track.(ok..maybe a cruize now and then..)
- i do not like the way Chrysler has marketed these cars, and i have found
- nothing about them to excite me. except the 214 horses. but they blew that
- when they didn't put an stick in it! Give me a 5speed, and then i'll take
- it over the Bonneville. in case youc an't tell, manuals are a VERY large
- part of a car, for me.

- i c
- talk to me then. chrysler may have redeemed itself in my eyes bye then, assuming
- they cut out the pseudo adverts, give some stuff a manual, and LAST.
