That would be the key?I guess different strokes for different folks.

And that is truely a shame.............:( :(
Sort of like a dirt biker who has never ridden a 250 or a 500.:think :(
They just want a car just makes them smile more than a Camry or an Accord.
Probably because people stopped buying them once they became a bloated, underpowered, generic family boat, like most American cars of the '70s and early '80s.Originally posted by OnAnySunday
(why they killed this legendary marque off in the first place is beyond me.)

It's the retro thing, the Prowler and T-Bird are other examples and yes, the Viper.
. Ford redid the Mustang a couple years ago, and now they have the new T-bird coming
They have finally decided to wake up and smell the coffee in regards to their V-8s. The 5.2L (318) is gone, replaced by the new 4.7L OHC V-8, with 235 HP and 295 lb./ft of torque. This engine,while on paper not sounding much more powerful than the 5.2 it replaced, in reality absolutely trounces the 5.2 in every way. It is much more responsive, torquey, and peppy, and gets better fuel mileage. I have this engine in my Dakota, and it is sweet. I am told that the 5.9L (360) will go away soon, to be replaced with a 5.6L version of the 4.7, and reportedly making as much as 295 HP and 370 lb./ft. of torque.Originally posted by motopuffs
They scored with the V-10, but the only problem is that at the same time, the V-8 line got neglected. While Chevy and Ford have had more modern v-8s for years, Dodge sticks with the same 318 and 360. My friend has a Durango...great vehicle but SINGLE DIGIT mileage with the 360 when pulling a trailer with bikes.
