I remember those days too. The Chrysler faithful didn't have any real performance cars in the showroom and the few fast cars they did have came from Mitsubishi. (The Dodge Stealth and Eagle Talon.)

I do comment Bob Lutz for developing the Dodge Spirit R/T - it may not have been the most stylish vehicle but I remember it could hang with the 5.0 Liter Mustangs of the day.

I think Sands Chevrolet is the dealership facility that all OEMs dream of. It's modern, it's huge, it's nicely appointed and it's located in a new Auto Mall.

While I was really impressed with Sand's facility, I'm not sure I'd want to face that rent-factor each month.
