I didn't get to start it up, but there's a dealer here in KC with a yellow one on the lot that I got to look at. The interior is better than I thought it would be, but the overall aestetic effect the car invokes is YUCK!
In NO way am I knocking the little gem of an engine in it, or the handling abilities the car apparently has. I simply wish Dodge packaged those abilities in something more pleasing to look upon. Another $1K in interior facelifts would have helped, too. The stock wheels aren't really that attractive, either. I could go on for a page nit-picking the car, becuase it's so easy to do. You can tell where corners were cut. I never expected the SRT-4 to be a luxury sedan, but there are a few obvious touches that were left out that shouldn't have been.
Apart from some interior complaints, the only real gripe I've got with it is the skin they chose to wrap it in. Then again, I'm a package person. It's got to fire on all cylinders before I start raving and singing praises...
...otherwise than that, it's a rocket that is going to surprise more than just a few folks on the street and strip.
