Middle line, to me the middle line would be the R/T, since obviously it's in the middle. Serious though, the R/T isn't overkill, it is middle of the line priced, if not priced to high that is, and the gas should be decent with the new Hemi coming out.

I don't mind V6 at all, just don't like them in muscle cars. It works just great in the Avenger, though mpg really blows and I can see why no one is buying it, but for a car this size, it just doesn't seem practicle. I almost wonder how much money you really are saving by trying to get this beast moving under such little power. Keep in mind that I don't think about people at lower elevations, this car may be perfect for them, I think about my elevation. When you are well above sea level and increase depending on where you travel to, that V6 and that weight of that car will suddenly seem like it's a 3 cylinder Geo Metro with 55 hp towing a trailer behind it.

I'm definitely not one who discourages people to buy the V6, I just personally don't see a point in it. I understand that people want the car for the looks, more power to them, but to me I just couldn't see buying it, and that may just be the case depending on the price.

My wife just paid more for her Avenger R/T then I did for my GT, but that's because we rolled the old Avenger into it, naugty us. This is the most powerful car she has had, kind of sad, but she's always had small four cylinder cars, and now she's looking to get a ticket in it. She loves it, but doesn't know the power and speeds often, but she loves it rather then getting run over trying to get up and go when a car is coming at her while she's turning. This would definitely be a car that I wouldn't mind having a six cylinder in it, just please improve the gas mileage. I saw the Jeep Wranger the other day and about choked. I can't believe it gets that bad of gas mileage.

Now as for the six in the Stang, I just have a hard time with that. The Avenger has more hp then the Stang and people complain that it's not enough because it's less then the competition, but more then a Mustang. Serious people? How much is enough? 450 hp in a 4 cylinder? We aren't far, the Caliber SRT-4 is at close to 300, though that's super charged so that doesn't totally count. When we get there by N/A, then I will get a little worried, and happy at the same time. Worried about the kids with all this power in cheap cars, happy to have it for myself.
