true enough; cylinder deactivation aside, it's all about the transmission. That said, I dont believe the first-generation SRT's had cylinder deactivation available.

yes, but get absolutely shit mpg - that's the reason for the SRT drivetrain; much more efficient. :)

The Chrysler is also far older. So, that condition is not exactly a huge surprise.

Uhm. Duh. New-Yorker. I don't think you've posted an easy one like this in a while. o.O

This is the affect HDR can have without blatant overuse of software to make it "work".

You have, you just don't remember, because you didn't know HDR was used. Proper HDR is subtle..

mostly because people don't know how to use it. For most, they may as well be using the Emboss filter in Photoshop.

It's not the fact that it's HDR, it's the fake (done entirely in software, with one image) and overdone HDR that i don't like. If you do it right, it should NOT be obvious and stick out like a sore thumb.

*sigh* .. i am starting to dislike HDR. Especially software immitated HDR.

I, for instance, remain completely dissatisfied with any FWD car with a floor shifter and a transmission hump between the front seats. I've logged many hours in a second gen Prius and (WARNING: complementary statement about a Toyota Prius is about to follow. Please get your barf bags ready) I'm still happy at how…

uhm.. outside of a box-van.. probably our trucks

'64 Jeep Wagoneer Panel-truck

well if you don't like the whole "pepsi-side-out" thing, you could always use plastidip. o.O

so basically, what America really wants is TURBOdiesels. That first part is important.

So unpopular, in your usage simply means not common. Rather than a car nobody likes; correct?

James Bond Jaguar; or the tanks they like to use, do they count?

I guess I'm lucky then. I won my car in CA, and picked it up in AZ, then moved to GA. Not planned, but I guess that's cool-about the tax thing. My car was purchased for zero dollars, and I own it (if i could just find the stupid pink-slip.. moving sucks!)

Many people buy the Hondas because they're Honda. My brother got one because nobody else would sell him a car. Also, the Civic has generations of history and general fan-dom. The Dart has zero history, and fan-dom is growing.

I think the people that own them love them, and are usually car people. o.O

Same here; they're always on 26" wheels that probably cost more than the car that they're attached to.

Sebring. More popular than you might think, pre-200 update.
