HA! just noticed this. personally yes i think its a fat pig, slow and not near as good looking as the others ,especially the mustang but i'm not paying for it. its your car and you really shouldn't care what others think unless they are paying the bill..:)
watch for wheel hop on the 6 speed. not sure if they corrected that issue from the earlier cars..
as far as blind spots go. they are not an issue with properly adjusted mirrors and even the addition of blind spot mirrors if it doesn't yet come standard with them yet.
i drove a 6 speed srt chally from jersey to south carolina (13 hours) for friend a couple years ago.. it makes a good touring car. i got almost 25mpg out of it. cruised very nicely and had plenty of power when i wanted it. stopped on a dime too and handles nice too..
hopefully you have better chrysler service dealers in your area. because the guys around here suck and are a bunch of crooks.
