I think I'm the oddball here, in that I look at Chrysler vehicles exclusively. From my dad's '68 Plymouth Satellite, to a '69 Charger, '69 Road Runner, '70 Challenger R/T, to another '69 Road Runner (convertible), and then a '69 Satellite (my fastest). In the grown-up age, I had to have reliability, but I was too poor so I got a '98 Neon R/T, which was great on gas and still a hoot to drive. Now that the family is expanding, I need more room so the wife's Town & Country won't be the only vehicle we can all fit in.
Therefore, the Cruiser was the fastest Chrysler vehicle that was sort of practical, looked good, and was unique.
If DCX didn't make the cruiser, I'd no doubt be purchasing some other Mopar. Even with the merger with Daimler, in my mind my loyalties lie here.
