Don't know if this goes here or in one of the music threads, but I was sitting in traffic this morning behind this, and I had to snap a pic and share it.

Amazing what they are doing with these  Turbo charged inline 6s.

I drove a grand Wagoneer with that motor and it had 540 hp.

Actually underrated a tad.  About 737 to be exact.

I almost ended up with a Durango when I got the Flex. Those two were my finalists. 

Of course, the SRT Hellcat version didn't exist at the time...

...and I'm sure I wouldn't have spent the amount to get one if it did!

I had one.    Costly on gas too!   But fun!

Unless you currently own over two dozen cars, well then, I'm going to have to go back and reiterate bwar's comment about-- there's no way you're holding on to cars long enough to make any determination on their real-world reliability.

Oh, and I meant that as a compliment.  I wish I could afford to have your car issues... ;)

There is a difference between us.  You are smart.  When it comes to cars- me.. not so much. It’s not what you “can “afford it’s what you’re smart enough to afford.  

The quick story on that hellcat Durango is that when they first got made, I ordered one from a dealer. Got it for sticker. But when the factory started producing them, they started giving them to dealerships to Cell to the open public who had not ordered them and they were asking $15-$20,000 above sticker.  That’s fine except for they delayed production for guys like me who ordered them way before production started 

So I canceled my order and went shopping all around the country for a dealer that would sell it for sticker. As is often, the case dealers are much more aggressive in the last one or two days of the month and I found a deal in Pensacola that sticker and took a short flight and drove it home. 

I only kept that one for a truly short period of time, about eight months, because that’s when gas prices doubled and almost tripled.

I think you've made our point for us.  One 2021 car, everything else nearly brand new, and clearly with so many cars, you never put enough miles on any one of them, to be affected by any potential reliability issues. :57:

Oh and congrats on the new SUV.  I've never driven one, but I've sat in one at the State Fair car show.  The Grand Wagoneer is a proper large American good-looking SUV, IMO.
