As to the low performance under 3,000 RPM's, I can't argue with the reviewer. However, I have never found a need to downshift going up a hill or even to pass on the interstate.

We hear about the low speed engine response but I have found that since installation of the Sprint Booster, I no longer suffer here. I believe if MB or Chysler had installed these units stock(or made appropriate hardware modifications to the throttle assy) that this comment would never have come up.

As to the cup holder, What @&$%**^($*&#%@^$ cup holder?

Sometime when I shift aggresively, there is an orange symbol on my speedo that tells me to back off a bit. Then there is this automatic device that slaps my elbow telling me to stop doing that. But where o' where does this car have a cup holder?

Again, thanks for posting the review.

Right on Franc, can't argue that, but to have 3 for under $50K, and when I win the 4th...well, that just borderline's on greedy right there....lol
