And Consumer Reports. Even the Google response to are FCA cars reliable is no. Take a random sample of people on the street and have them rank the Big 3 in reliability. I'll be over 75% will rank them the lowest.

While my 2011 Silverado has never been back to the dealer for any warranty repairs (thankfully it is reliable thus far) one might stop and think about why the Imports have done so well in this country. The answer is simple; Because the GM dealer network treated customers so badly they stopped buying American cars. I'm sure that includes Ford and then Chrysler. That said, since Mary Barra took over the show things have improved. I have two buddies who own the Dodge Challengers, one is an SRT8 and the other is a HC. Both owners are ecstatic with their purchases and the cars are great drivers as well as very comfortable. This said, the HC owner would likely consider the ZL1 IF it delivers as it should in real life.

I don't disagree with the dealer statements. I get pretty good service but I'm well known. Friends of mine have not had good service from their Dodge dealers.

Chevy has treated me VERY well and their customer service has certainly been impressive. I got a survey on owning my Camaro and I dinged them for the issues I've had. Within a few days I received a phone call from Chevy asking what they could do to make me happy. That does go a long way in the ownership experience.

More click bait. That picture and rumors have been floating around for 2 years.

There are about a dozen "automotive" websites that are actually just people in China and India scraping other websites and posting "news". That is one of them. You can tell by the stilted language.

I mean really autoomobile.com? Two 'o's?

It would be better if it was automoobile.com . Moo.

Interesting comment about the alignment. I have had my Challanger Hellcat aligned twice and it still hints right. My Camaro has never had any steering issue. On the other hand the Camaro has gone thru a replacement of the radiator fan and torque coverter replaced after 14K miles. 4K on the Hellcat no problems.Is the alignment problem abigger problem ? thought you might know. My Hellcat is way faster than the Z1 auto I wanted. How do folks compare these 2 cars when the ZL1 is not even available ? I expect the ZL1 to handle better especially on the track. My 2SS handles better than the Hellcat. The fun factor and comfort factor for driving goes to the Hellcat.

oh this thread again...

don't you know that "real men" only care about what a car can do in the 1/4 mile, it's the "only thing that matters".

sheesh, where have you been??
