GM is doing the best interiors right now out of all the Big 2.5...I love the new Buick interiors, the new Escalade's looks awesome, and I like the Malibu/Monte Carlo's quite a bit.

One of the criticisms which keep poping up in C&D and R&T i.e. Chrysler cars is that the interiors are rehashed from Mercedes a generation or two ago. So, I guess, if you liked Mercedes in the late 90's but couldn't afford a new one, here's your chance!

Well I found the Charger to be horrendously slow, the steering artificial, and the seats pretty bad. Oh yeah and the rear view mirror was like a mile away. It was nowhere near my AV6 on the highway. The midrange power was simply not there.
