My friend has the new Jeep SRT-8 and I got to say that I find it pretty nice inside and out , not too flashy , probably the only american car I would ever consider bying , the Wrangler is not comparable , probably the worst ride you can get on a public road with a uncorfortable and cheap interior ! You better shop a bit more before making that mistake !

I'm really digging the SRT lineup. I really like the Jeep, just like that last gen. Can't stand the new gen's wheels though, anything is better. Even these weak black faced wheels
The Ferrari-rized ones may be a little too much but the stock wheels look better in black, can't see them as much Even the old SRT8 wheels |

I do not like the exterior or interior design of the 300. Has nothing to do with American vs. German vs. whatever.

American car quality has gotten alot better. There are some very fine American cars across the board now. That being said I could not see myself considering ownership of ANYTHING American except a Mustang or Corvette. Of the big 3, I perceive Chrysler quality/durability to be the worst. I wouldn't own a Chrysler if Lee Iacocca personally guaranteed it himself.

1. new 2012 SRT300 black / black chrome or 2. 08 M5 40k miles no warranty Both these cars are about $45k. Remember my criteria is to move to a larger, more luxurious sedan. I'm not comfortable driving the M3 as a DD anymore. Its great for a quick sprint, but driving around in dress clothes / suit / dress shoes / etc I just dont fit into the small cabin very well. Plus 99% of my driving is on straight roads, no twisty roads anywhere I live.

1. Check out the NEW M3 sedan ... the new 3'er is suppose to have a few more inches for the driver and passengers.
2. nabb the first used F10 M5 in a few years 3. go all out and just get a f10 M5 new NOW (my fav idea) 4. Grab a used 2010 M5 right after the F10 M5 hits the market... the old M5 used price should dip. 5. field the possibility of a new or used 550i with the upgraded seats, msport package, active suspension, sport transmission, and steering 6. field the possibility of a new or used 535i with the upgraded seats, msport package, active suspension, sport transmission, and steering 7. if you have reached this option and are still considering the 300, slap your self in the face and proceed to step 1.

If you don't drive your BMW because you are worried about putting miles on it, I would buy a car you can enjoy. If that is a Chrysler, Ford or Chevy, fine. I would drive something like a Challenger or Jeep SRT8, a Ford Mustang, or a Pontiac/Chevy G8 or Cadillac CTS-V. I am not wedded to BMWs.
