I have to say I really like the new Crossfire (much better than the TT 
actually). The Pacifica and latest 300 is, also, very nice. I really 
wasn't that thrilled with Chysler's mid-90's designs and the Sebring 
line needs a revamp desperately, imo. Could be time for a new Imperial, 
too.  :-D

Seems like the Cruiser has been doing well for a long while. Any word 
on a major update for that model any time soon, I wonder?

I do think the Chevy HHR leaves a lot to be desired, btw.
