One of these was beside me at the lights earlier today. Looks very good indeed and sounds even better. Anyone have any experience of these, could this be considered as a replacement for the mig? From what I see online they have a 6.1 litre v8 and rwd so thats enough boxes ticked for me, what are they like inside though and are they problematic??

Good drug dealers motor 8)
-
Must admit I looked at these as a replacement for Omega Elite - but yep they do look like a drug dealers car, hence an X350 Jaguar for me ;)
-
A quick car, a few weeks ago I sat waiting for a green light on my bike & the 300c next to me burned rubber & piled on the power trying to out sprint me. I was impressed for such a big car.
-
Nice cars with real engines hemi,shame it's got a rep as a drug dealers car
-
I like them , a lot of car for the money :y
-
its almost ideal for me - its juat a shame that its only available with the "fun-free" transmission

Sat nav,leather,electicky seats,super cold air con, arm chair comfy seats.Handles like a armchair on wheels just about enough room in boot for a weeks shopping, its sooo american,but running cost resonable as its merc underneath.

From the pics I saw of saloons I thought the boot was going to be omega sized! Sounds very good otherwise though, lookis like I might have to become a drug dealer in the future then :y

Omega saloon has 2.4 cu. foot more capacity
-
Must admit I do like the estate :) Diesel ones are cheaper tax too 08 plate £280 per year. Not so sure how the handling would be though given its American, although I don't think at 2385kgs you could throw it around anywhere. :D
-
Handling aside (I've heard people say it's beyond poor but never driven one), I wonder how long I could keep convincing myself that it's not heinously ugly? ::)
-
don;t bother Kev, it IS hideously ugly..... in fact it's FUGLY
-
I did think it ''fugly'' when they first came out but I must have gotten used to it or something as it doesn't repel me half as much anymore! Will have to see if I can wangle a test drive in one some time soon but it seems all the SRT-8's are over the other side of the pond from me :-\

In the town where I work they use BMW's with blacked out windows, the good ones use X5 or Range Rovers, often black with blacked out windows............. :-X :-X
