Hey gang, I need a little input here. I'm looking for a new/used car for the DEAR WIFE. I'm thinking 2008 or so, low miles, sedan type car, 4 doors, V-6. I want something that can be used for a daily driver yet be big enough to be comfortable for a long trip. So far I have looked at a 08' Chrysler 300, and an 08' Charger. I like them both, and I like the body style of each.
I'm not at all brand loyal, so please, lets hear your suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

For the price of a new Camaro ( v-6 $23,000). If I were looking I would be all over it. They are also advertising 300 hp for the v6 version that almost unbelievable. I drove the SS and the car is nothing to sneeze at.

My wife has always picked her own cars and usually goes to buy them herself. I don't know what she wants in a car anymore than she knows what I want in a truck. I like it that way.

I have a 2009 Dodge Charger from my employer and it is a very nice car. It is the V-6 High-Output version and it's got plenty of power. I'd have no problem buying one of my own if I needed a new car.

Wife always picks her own car, she shopped for a new car the spring of 08. Narrowed it down to Chrysler 300 and Cadillac CTS, she bought the CTS and loves it. Can't tell you why but that was her choice.
