The 500 needs a better engine and it would be sweet...apparently sales are good though, I think I read somewhere?

you dont need a bigger motor, with the cvt transmission, that thing kicks ass. You pin it, it revs to like 6000rpm, and it just stays there right in the power band. when you are getting on the hwy, 160 comes stupid fast when you have your foot to the floor. You dont even realize how fast you get until you look at the speedo.The engine rpm does the opposite than you are used to...it revs up high, and then the revs come down and sort of match up with the speed, which if your not looking down on the speedo can get you into some serious speeding tickets!

ive driven the 500, the freestyle, and the mustang.

the 500 is the most fun you can have in a sedan if you get the cvt transmission, the frestyle isnt that impressive, except for the large amount of space inside(but for a large price).
The mustang is wicked, whether you get the V8 or V6, you can shread some tire, but the 4.0L has some seriously loud engine noise from inside the car when you are pinning it. The V8 has some wicked excelleration, but the trans in both of them suck for finding 3rd gear. I think its a shifter problem, its definately in need for some kind of aftermarket sifter.
