I think that the idea was to make a vehicle that's sold to the
crowd of men out there going through midlife crises who are
dying to buy a fast, powerful sports car, but can't slip something
red, with 2 seats, and shaped like a low-slung wedge past the
wife.

There's not many RWD V8's out there that are in sports cars
anymore, save perhaps the very high end and expensive corvettes
and a few others. Most of the red sports cars out there seem
to be rice burners with turboed 4 bangers and such, so someone
wanting a decent amount of displacement doesen't have much
choice in V8's.

I am really hoping that this black soap bar takes off, because if it
does it will show the rest of the autmakers that the V8 magic is
still alive, and quite powerful if it can get something this ugly to
sell. Maybe then it might stimulate the rest of them to go back
to putting V8's into sedans. If you recall the glory muscle car days
of the late 60's, most of the excitement was taking cheap 2 door sedans
with big V8's that were stifled with mild cams and icky heads and
stuffed up exhaust systems, and doing a fairly cheap amount of work
to correct those deficiencies.

"AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- It's no surprise to
Paul Steel that the Chrysler Pacifica achieved a year-to-date monthly sales
record of 7,589 units in September, or that last month was the sixth time this
year that sales of the all-new vehicle were higher than sales of the previous
month.
Steel is the general manager of Southfield Chrysler Jeep in Southfield, Mich.
In September, the suburban Detroit dealership sold more Pacificas -- 90 --
than any other Chrysler Group dealer in the country.

The success at Southfield Chrysler Jeep continues a steady up-tick in Pacifica
sales nationwide:

Sales have increased 1,277 percent since March (551) units compared to
September (7,589 units).
In the same March to September period, month-over-month sales have increased
every month.
Beginning in June, and for every month thereafter through September, Pacifica
sales surpassed those of four of its main competitors: the Acura MDX, Buick
Rendezvous, Nissan Murano and Volvo XC90.
September was the first time Pacifica sales surpassed those competitive
vehicles, plus the Lexus RX300. "
