Default I test drove one @ a Chrysler open drive event last summer...

Was not impressed at all. There was so little cushioning in the driver's seat that when I sat down in it, my butt hit the seat frame. All the materials are cheesy and low budge, the engine was loud and powerless, and the ergonomics were crap. Steering was tight though, and body roll wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. To top it all off, they pitted it against the boxster, G35 coupe, and the TT roadster. I don't know what they thought they going to accomplish by doing that. Looks like another Prowler to me...Good design idea that was never followed through.

Chrysler tries SO hard to let people know that the car is essentially German its a joke.

Come on, we're talking about an American car. It should be designed for our fat asses!

I think it should be able to hold all of my 170 pounds. Or am I wrong?

The hood is enormous. Idiot-mobile. Will it take away Prowler sales? Only asshats need apply.

Default Chrysler is having a REALLY hard time selling Prowlers nowadays...

maybe that's because they quit making them :P.
