Default RE: Fortune Mag:Backlash Begins(discuss )

I like the way the guy (whose bio on the article notes that as an auto writer, lives in Manhattan and walks to work) casually dismisses the mileage of the SE and R/T. I haven't looked up the specs for the R/T, but the SE is listed at 18/city, 25/highway. That's the same as fueleconomy.gov lists my 2000 V-6 Mustang, and is actually better than the 2008 V-6 Mustang which is rated at 16/24. Especially when you see it in person, you quickly realize that the Challenger is indeed a big car. The mere fact that the SE gets that good mileage PLUS looks absolutely beautiful will, in my opinion, make it an incredibly popular car. Maybe someday I'll cruise through Manhattan with my SE and get a chance to honk at the writer as he trudges to his place of employment.
