Dodge Avenger test drive
« on: March 17, 2007 - 05:24:01 PM »
We are looking at new cars for my wife.  Her, 2003 Toyota Camry needs over $4000 in repairs after the computer crashed.    :villagers: TRADE-IN coming.  :clapping:

So while I was at work my wife and Daughter went and test drove the new 2008 Dodge Avenger.  of all the cars they test drove, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen and Honda, they said they were most impressed with the Dodge.  They where the first people on two different lots, to test drive the Avenger.  They drove both the v6 and 4 cylnd models.
The Avenger start at $20,000 for the base model and goes up to $26,000 for a fully loaded R/T.

I quess I will have to go drive one now.  :2thumbs:

I think that they are sharp cars.  The stratus was getting old.  This looks awesome too.  Whats going to take place of the stratus 2 door though, the Demon?   :dunno: ???

I test drove a new sebring(same car) a few months ago.  Not bad but the interior looked cheap :2cents:

Looks like they mixed a Charger and a Caliber IMO.

4000!? Japan cars never broke down :blah: :roflsmiley:

Avenger looks very good and I am happy that it feels/drives better than "imports". These days everybody says that American cars are crap.

I hope to see more Dodge cars here in Slovenia....  :popcorn:

I think the car looks good. At least they kept it in a realistic price range, unlike what we will see in the new Challenger.   :stirpot:
