New Addidtion to the Family! *56K Stay AWAY!*

I have been wanting to get rid of my wife's 2000 Jeep Cherokee for some time now. Last night, we went car shopping and came home with this;

A New 2007 Dodge Charger R/T with the Hemi. It's pretty quick for a stocker and rides great. It's nice to have something in the family with some horsepower again! The color is Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl.

SWEET!!!!! We are going to get one of them or the caddy cts when the hummer's lease is up. BTW....you have the best cell phone ever made in the center console....my brother dropped mine off the side of my boat last year

IK: You are going the CTS route also huh?  I keep telling people that is going to be our next car.  HummerMike was nice enough to get us a new '07 loaner this week while our H3 was in the shop.  The same with the '06, we love it.  That car is so surprising.  It looks sharp, it handles great, it's fast and is VERY comfortable.  The only complaint I have is the autostick doesn't up-shift fast enough, but it's still better then having it in Auto mode.
 
Uh, yeah way off-topic.
 
Jeremy, that is SWEET!!!   As with IK, our next car is either going to be yours or the CTS.  We haven't driven the Charger yet, but are going to try to find one to rent in a few weeks when/if we go to Nick's B-day bash.
 
Have you ever driven a CTS? If so, how does it compare? I'm kinda curious to know.

doesn't compare Mike, your talking about a "quick" 6 cylinder in the cts to an all out muscle car hemi in the charger. Both are very comfortable an surprisingly smooth riding, but the hemi will flat out blow your wifes wig off if you stand on it.

Which one would you say handles better?

I liked the charger...eif your looking for handling go with the charger....a ton ofaftermarket parts available so you cna dial the handling to where you want it...cts you pretty much got what you got....we are going with the cts just cause my wife wants more luxery than speed.

My buddy has the same Charger, only the slate blue grey? color.  I'm lovin the BLACK.  I know those things will snap yer neck back when ya crank it!!!!!  Charger is a great ride, for a Chrysler.  Ha, had to.  If I was in the car market, It would be on the short list.

Mike's dealer is supposed to be getting in the new CTS-V sometime this year that is going to have AWD and a supercharged 300HP engine.  That's what they've been told. I know they had a '06 or '07 but I don't believe those were AWD were they?

not sure Mike, the 06 I get as a loaner is not awd I don't think.

So you actually get a CTS-V as a loaner? How much better is that one compared to the normal CTS? Do you notice a difference?

oops, didn't see the -v in your post....no I got a plain cts..my bad

Congrats Jeremy.   I have always liked the Chargers

sweet charger!!!

AWESOME Jeremy.  
 
I have always loved the Chargers also!!!

CONGRATULATIONS
I'm thinking about getting a Charger SRT/8 or just wait on a new Challenger R/T

See how the CTS handles in the snow

Congrats Drew
very sharp looking i saw one in person yesterday very nice.

If you like the CTS, check out the GM website. They have an all-new CTS coming out this fall for '08 with a new 300 hp 6 cylinder. Might be a decent ride. Here it is on the net.

That's Hot!   Nice ride ya got the Mrs there JD!

NIEEEEEECE!

I test drove a CTS a couple years ago, liked it OK but then decided not to purchase. I am currently driving a CTS loaner (a week now) while my girl is in the shop. You could NOT pay me to buy one now...well OK maybe IF someone gave me one! LOL  Way too small, no room in the back seat or trunk - couldn't even put my new vacuum cleaner I bought yesterday in the trunk.  My head feels like it is up into the visor and windshield practically anddddd, every time I go to get in or out, I nearly hit my head on the doorjam - and I am only 5'8!  Otherwise it's a cute little car with some "get up and go."  I'd seriously spend a good amount of time in one before you get one.

thanks for the compliments guys... she really loves it.. i like it myself..
 
since some were discussing horsepower, the Charger has 340.. just a little umph!

I'm seen a few Charger EMS and Police vehicles around here....  they look great...

Soooooo Drew............

Will 35's fit without any lift and what offset rim will you need?

Given any thought to how you are going to mount a deep water fording kit, light bar and brush guard?

Got your rocker protection and UPC picked out yet?

If you get a PCM For Less upgrade, how big an increase in HP and fuel efficiency can you expect?
 
I think I saw a set of "Charger" embroidered head rests on E-Bay...Maybe it said MOPAR.....

 

NICE ride by the way......Congrats Bro.

(that soap on a rope concession must have paid off after all)
