first of all, they are completely comparable IMHO. comparable motors, comparable
room, comparable prices(both out of my damn range!), comprable drive trains,
at least, right now...(or is the GM RWD? i'm not sure..i'm fairly certain 
that the LH is FWD, but am not positive there either..doesn't make that much
diff to me)  both have fairly decent body styles, but not really up to par 
with the others that i like.  Both are pretty, do not get me wrong..but i
would buy neither because the looks impressed me right off.  i do not see a
better comparison, from my viewpoint. Neither is superior, not in any of the
catagories i can find..haven't driven either, so i cannot comment on interior.
and space has NOTHING to do with that!

whatever...(does this mean, it IS, or WILL BE?)

why?
(beside for the hell of it..for fun..i mean..they should leave that to the
aftermarketers!  :-)

or we can have a (however many..Q)OHC(?) flat(V?) 12 from chrysler..i call it
a Diablo. this is the ONLY chrysler i can think of that i'd buy..and i would
not buy it for driving, except on a track.(ok..maybe a cruize now and then..)
i do not like the way Chrysler has marketed these cars, and i have found
nothing about them to excite me. except the 214 horses. but they blew that 
when they didn't put an stick in it!  Give me a 5speed, and then i'll take
it over the Bonneville.   in case youc an't tell, manuals are a VERY large
part of a car, for me.

i c
talk to me then. chrysler may have redeemed itself in my eyes bye then, assuming
they cut out the pseudo adverts, give some stuff a manual, and LAST.
