I love that you are trying to figure out us over 50 gals. We tend to be invisible at this age, no one notices us, looks at us or markets to us unless it is for funeral plans, burial plots and depends. We ain't there yet!

Methinks you tried to go clothes shopping lately!

Jaraxle, I would defintely take the 'Stang over the Charger. Never been a big Dodge fan. Still need a vehicle that can handle snow. I'm a yank just like you!

1. Mini Countryman--soccer mom, several kids, trying to be good mom.
2. BMW X3--Trophy wife, wants to be noticed and wants everyone to think she is rich. The vehicle is probably leased. Excellent chance she is a Realtor.

3. Audi Q3--same as #2 except she likes fast cars.
4. Subaru Outback--quality important, probably has more money than #2 and #3 combined.
5. F-150 Supercab--West Texas Cowgirl or want-to-be West Texas Cowgirl or she just thinks she looks good in it when she drives up to her one bedroom apartment to sleep alone.

A REAL woman would not drive number 1 thru number 4. Real women, and also real men, drive trucks. Enough said!!

No idea on the Mustang, but a Charger can handle snow. I suggest you drive one...the performance is stunning. To best appreciate it...find a long, straight highway on-ramp, and from maybe 15MPH, pin the throttle.

The most important word here is straight! When the UK 'Top Gear' tested the Charger, they said to avoid any bends in the road, otherwise it may end up on its roof!

As for the Mini Countryman, that is one ugly car! The original Austin or Morris Mini was great as was the original BMW reincarnation. These four door Minis look 'orrible! Imagine a four door Mustang or Corvette- just not 'Right'!


I don't believe in astrology. I am a Gemini and
we're very skeptical.

Sorry, Jaraxle, but I think the Charger is butt ugly!

Orion, you must be a purist. I think the Countryman is way cool looking! Have you seen the new two-seater Mini coupe? One cool car!

The crew at Top Gear are idiots. In other news, water is wet and the Mojave is dry. A Charger R/T is a superb handler.

Note: the Charger is heavily based on another car. That being: the Mercedes E-class, itself a pretty good handler!

Well...the 300C is the same car.
