I got in a lot of trouble with this earlier post, but if you read it carefully and not as a complaint, my question still holds. Sure I love my car and want to keep it a long time. It still sparkles like it did 20K miles and almost 2 years ago. Many of the reasons I love the car are subjective and not tangible, but that does not answer the question if it is really is a good car and worth the price. I saw some posts under different threads that talked about how "overengineered" (in a complimentary sense) this car was and these were what I was looking for. To me, I think this car is better than what most people expect from a Chrylser so they ignore it. It doesn't have a lot of "bells and whistles" that other cars do, so what it does have doesn't show. My question was, and is, what does it have? I'm not an engineer or auto mechanic so what the hell do I know?

By the way, Will I miss this car? Can't say, I have this car and plan to have it for a while. How can I miss something I have? I do agree with earlier posts that hopefully this will make this car more of a classic. It has all the qualities.

There, I assume I've got a lot of attention. My question still stands tho. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the car, but I'd like to hear from those more knowledgeable about what makes this car special. I have the Limited with 215 HP and auto trans. It does not have a real intermittent wiper, auto headlights, radio or fan steering wheel controls, rack and pinion steering, 4 valves per cylinder, etc. My Volvo is larger with as much usable power, has more options and a similar sticker price. What does this car have that justifies the price? Mercedes engineering? What does that really mean?
