anything is better than a Dodge. Sorry. My taste for the "brand loyalty" thing has diminished considerably in the past few years. But, there are so many times when I wonder why they call them "Dodge" as if they're trying to tell you something.
Now, is the Challenger and Charger pretty muscle cars? Yes, I will admit to that. But....Just because it looks purdy doesn't mean it runs well. (same reason I'm baffled by people who buy Jaguars)
I've known a few people who have owned (especially in past tense) Dodge vehicles and had nothing but problems with them. Even my own Dad, who got hit at an intersection 500 feet from home, and the truck was never the same. It even stopped working in the middle of the highway, at speed. It was determined to be a shut-off valve for the fuel as a "safety measure". Too bad it impacted the power steering and engine-assist brakes. Thankfully he avoided another accident, etc etc
anyway, glad you got a slightly better car. Hopefully your Prius will be back under your butt soon.
