The Chrysler concept looks kind of neat but by the time it makes it to the market it'll cost $30,000 get about 22mpg and lose half it's value when you take possession.
I have a Concorde LXi. For a long distance road car it is probably the best I've ever driven for comfort and being able to run flat out at 80mph for 16 hours straight. But, you never want to break something. A couple of years ago an O2 sensor went out and the charge fed back up through the rest of the system. It took out the O2 sensor (one of four), the primary engine control module, the transmission control module and the security module. It was past the manufacturers warranty for coverage and by chance I had purchased an extended warranty since I bought it used from a dealer we do business with. I would not usually by one but they gave me a really good deal on the extra warranty. Everything that has had to be replaced on the car is about twice what it should realistically should be, kind of like a Honda

Suzuki makes excellent mechanicals...drivetrains and engines. Now they're finally coming out with some body styles that don't look like comlete garbage.
I had an 85 Suzuki Samurai with a 1300cc engine that made it to 300,000 miles before I rolled it...and that's with simple oil changes.
