RE: Is anyone suprised by the quality of the base model
Here's my list of pros and cons:
Pro:
equipped with good standard options while keeping off the standard luxury area to keep the price under control
experienced V6 engine that feels strong in slightly heavier models
4-speed auto instead of a 5-speed that would be a lost cause
Better fuel economy than automatic V6 Mustang
Cons:
No manual transmission option (big mistake)
No 5 or 6-speed (that would be worth using)
No 4.0L V6 to compensate for the Challenger's extra weight
SE nameplate (it causes logical problems, plus why on earth do they need a nameplate for base models, what fool came up with that idea anyways)
Overall, good but I want to test drive one first. Having the different leather options is a good move. I'm glad also that the R/T will not come standard with Leather, that might help the pricing issue.
