You guys aren't really counting in DC at all are ya'll? First of all, you guys are complaining about the neon dying. The Neon is being replaced by the Caliber, a vehicle with the same engine, similar size, and similar price. Durrr. Jeep is getting the Compass, based on the same platform, and (my favorite) Dodge is getting their own version of the Lancer AND Evo. Also, Stratus and Sebring are being completely redesigned. In addition, the best American sedans on the market are being made at DC at the moment. To top it off, there is a new Challenger coupe in the mix that will be based off of the next-gen LY RWD platform. As I have reiterated time and time again, this decision is based on proven engineering. It is PROVEN that the LX-platform cars sell like hotcakes, so the move to make a mustang-buster coupe on the LY is quite in-line with their policy. Prove me wrong. Oh, and enough with the stupid hybrids already, I'll be laughing in 5 years when all those Prius owners have to buy a prohibitively expensive replacement battery for their little plastic wind-up toy. There would be no need nor want for hybrids if todays cars were lighter and had more efficient engines.
