i think when you are talking about "class" of car, you should look at the bottom line. the bottom line is the srt can not even come close to competing with others in their price range. like the real mercedes, or other $47,000 (srt roadster) price range cars. no retractable hard top available, the interior and extras are to be kind, quite pitiful. just look at the real mercedes, the custom looking curvature of the dash, the multi material look, the basic luxury options, trunk release, steering wheel audio controls, that lame ***. gps setup with discs, the srt could have been so much more for so little more attention to detail. it is as basic an interior and extras package car you will ever see in a 330 hp for $47,000. imho.
