Re: Chrysler sells all 6400 Dodge Challenger muscle cars

Canada would tax you for wiping your own ass if they could and they 
probably do in some form or fa****on so don't expect the gas guzzler tax 
to go away any time soon.  Chrysler had better get to work and develop 
some new cars because they can't live off the 300C forever.  They need 
to sell cars by the hundreds of thousands and not 6,400 at a time.  If 
Chrysler was smart they would be offering a plug in hybrid that seats 
four comfortably and gets 100-150 miles on a charge.  They couldn't make 
them fast enough to meet the demand, IMO.
