I'm with you. I'm much more upset about the fact that the museum isn't going to be saved.

Are you kidding me? There's no reason a manufacturer would EVER want to do this. It doesn't give them any benefit, their dealers would lose free service money over it, and it would cost them (granted, we're talking pennies) to introduce it.

Yeah! I think designs that were released before 2002 still had them, as they still used Chrysler's old electronics, so it's very possible the minivans had them as late as 2007, but I can't confirm that.

"I've heard of some cars over the years that employed weird, Nintendo-cheat-code-like procedures to display codes (I think Neons had something with turning the car on and off rapidly in succesion) but nobody does this by default. And they should."

R1: Look, not that I trust USA Today's opinion on anything automotive related, but seriously? They hate the new Pathfinder, ATS, and Dart? They mistake the 700C for a production vehicle? What a joke.

4th: I realize every automotive journalist on the planet hates the 200, except for the ones that were paid off, but I can't help but thinking that maybe Chrysler's reverse engineered the Toyota formula.

Or that Ford nicked their grille, now. If imitation is truly the sincerest form of flattery, the folks of at Aston Martin must be well and truly flattered.

I'm predicting that, in 15 years or so, many WK2 enthusiast forums are going to be abuzz with talk of doing a Ferrari V8 swap from a "rare junkyard find."

The logic is that you'll use your Ram Box (heh) instead of buying one of those bigass crossboxes that take up even more room.

The 2.4L is R/T only, which means that it alone will come with such things as fancier wheels, stiffer suspension, and bigger brakes. So, if they do it right when you buy the R/T you'll be buying more than just a larger displacement engine that puts out similar amounts of power.

A Panther with a stick? I don't fucking care, you all best be voting nice price NOW.

I've had a SOHC 2.0L car before, unfortunately it was a Breeze with the 4-spd automatic tied to it. Decent enough car with nice handling, but the automatic sapped any power the thing had out of it. The 2.0L/5-spd was both the fastest and most fuel efficient of the 1G Clouds, and by a long shot, too. A stick shift…

4 grand is bargaining material? Must be a nice world you live in. :P

Except for the fact that $20,000 is $4,000 more than $16,000. You seemed to leave out that part.

Not the Neon engines, but they are an evolution of the "World" engines that came out a couple of years ago. Both the 2.0L and 2.4L are.

You've tapped the reason why my dad is keeping his gaz guzzling Ford Explorer for now. He's had the vehicle now for 10 years and has averaged 10,000 miles a year, and now he drives quite a bit less than that (has less than a half mile commute that he bikes except when weather doesn't permit).

Are you talking about the one bridge over the Menomonee Valley that's 94/43? Yeah, that is higher than the Hoan Bridge, but it's also quite a bit newer. I've never had any real fear of it because of that, but then again I've never towed BMW and a wandering Jeep with an old F-350 over the top of it. :P

While it will almost assuredly not be as impressively high as some of the other bridges mentioned here, the Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee is scary for a different reason: It's a crumbling piece of 1970's highway infrastructure that's up just high enough to kill you.

If you visit more automotive enthusiast websites, you'll find out that Jalopnik is kind of unique in this regard.

Hey man, 1% of 300 million is still 3 million. :P
