I agree with you about defecating in the intake...but will your Charger be getting 25 MPG when it it has 250K on it? How about your Neon? It's not the fastest thing on the street, but my Accord does pretty damn well for what it has under the hood. And with the price of gas and the shape of the economy right now, what matters to me in a daily driver is low operating cost, low repair cost, and longevity...and my Accord has that in spades! My Dad had a Neon for a while and used it for his 220 highway mile daily commute...overall it was a good car. But when it got totaled for him, it had ~140K on it and has absolutely falling apart! Had gone through 3 head gaskets, & squeaked, rattled, and rode like a beet wagon. Even though he was sorry to see it go, I was secretly glad that the other guy put it out of it's misery. If an American car company made something that would last as long and as well as my Accord, I would buy it in a heartbeat...but they don't!
