I wonder. Around here, they have sold well and I think it's because off their unusual design. In a dark color, particularly with larger aftermarket wheels, they are quite an eye-catcher. I have also taken note that the shut lines and paint quality are very good. Maybe not Audi-like, but excellent for a North American built car. And the price is surprisingly lower than you might expect. So, you hate them. So what? They are not my taste either but I'm willing to admit that Chrysler has come up with a winner. And considering the dreck they used to produce, this is a good sign for a struggling American company. The other DC product that is selling well is the Sprinter. Not only Fedex, DHL and UPS sales, but also lots of ordinary truck buyers. They are everywhere. RLE
