It has paint runs that nobody noticed till it got to the dealer? I thought these cars were spending an ungodly long time in quality control.

Well , i now have 75 miles on the car. First impressions is it rides really smooth . The seats are very comfotable , they really hold you in place nice. The car draws ALOT of people especially with cameras . It handles well with some body roll , nice stearing . It does have a lame-sublime exhaust , shame on you dodge .The motor {dont flame me}feels ok , it could use another 50 horse minnimum. Keep in mind i am coming from a viper srt-1 so take the motor comment with a grain of salt. Other than that it seems to be a good car , and yes dodge will pay to fix the poor paint on the door sill and fender. Any other question just ask.

Just so you know the car will run alot better when it gets around 500 miles on it and then when mine hit a 1000 miles it really came alive .
