Sacrilege

Well, the lease on the Malibu is coming to an end in a month.

I started looking for a replacement, but it has been interesteing so far.

Not really a fan of anything smaller than my previous gen Malibu.

So I visit the Chevy dealer and the only things they offer are a Silverado or possibly a Volt in the equipment/price range I'd like.

Went to the Buick/GMC/Cadillac dealer and looked at Regal & LaCrosse.

The offerings are pretty pricey even for a mid-level vehicle of either.

So, I visited a Dodge dealer and looked at a Charger R/T that was nicely loaded and reasonably priced. Is it time to own my first new Dodge?

Could be.

If I were buying, the Challenger would still be at the top of my list.

the new charger is mighty sharp. its at the top of the list on sedans in my book, especially in srt8 garnish.

Can't blame you if you do. GM does not really make much for large cars these days.

[ocnblu]

I am glad Chrysler is doing well these days. They deserve some love.

[Drew Dowdell]

I wouldn't blame you for going with a Charger, the LX cars are good.

[G. David Felt]

Yes I agree the Charger is a lovely ride and roomy.

[NeonLX]

Same here. There isn't much out there that appeals to me, no matter what the brand. Although I saw a new Kia Rio earlier today and thought, "hmmm....".

Have you checked out the new '14 Impala? As a truck guy, I'm really smitten with the new Impala (and the new '13 Traverse). I told the wife if I wasn't so into trucks I'd forgo the '14 Sierra for a new '14 Impala LTZ. I think the Impala finally has some class to it's design and style.

Can't compare the new Impy to the Charger....

The Impy looks like a giant boat compared to the charger....

But be warned.....they are on the hot list to steal around here.....

Then again, maybe that would be a reason to buy the Impy....

[Olds Guy]

Can't touch an Impala lease compared to the Charger.

That was, in fact, the car I wanted to replace the Malibu with.

[daves87rs]

Impys are still too new....and gotta give away the old......

Now I will admit to not reading all of the fine print and not knowing all of the details, but many a local Chevy dealer that advertise in the local newspaper are running ads for new '14 Impala 1LTs leasing at $299/month. I'm sure you have to give up your first child and drive only 5,000 miles per year and be related to Dan Akerson, but there has to be a decent lease program to start moving these things. Two months ago the wife and I test drove a new Buick Encore and there was a lease program with cap reduction cash - the finance end was worse, with no low interest rate nor any cash on the hood. Buick was targeting the leasing consumer for the first production run of the Encore - I guess the finance consumer will eventually get some deals.

Interesting....sadly, there is nothing here for them....not sure why?
