I am a Toyota guy, but I love Dodge Challengers and Chargers (original
ones) - plus, as soon as the new Challenger comes out, I am buying it.
Things have changed quite a bit at Chryco. I am really beginning to think
Toyota is slipping. My 2005 Sienna has been back to the dealer 4 times now
for fairly major things - my neighbors Dodge Caravan (who bought it same
week as I got the Sienna) put twice as many miles on it as I did and has not
taken it back once.

I think all major manufacturers are finally getting it.
