   No...after my excursion into new car buying in 1968, I was no longer   
   intested in Chrysler products. I gave them plenty of opportunity too. I   
   looked at the Charger, Dart, Plymouth Barracuda and Roadrunnner before I   
   gave up on that crap. I also looked at GM and Ford products to give each a   
   chance to sway me into buying. GM stood above all of them. I was very   
   tempted by the GTO and Buick GS models, but bought a Camaro RS/SS 396   
   instead.

   Which they did, eventually.   
      
    RN> That was secondary to the prices being asked for ANY new car.   
      
   The above warranty was also based on 1500 hours of operation, which could   
   be very hard to prove or disprove.
