Thanks Jim...
A somewhat positive slant in the article!
I thought the average 500 should be able to outperform the average Mini though... If so, that would be a GREAT selling point.
I also think the 500 is well equipped, although I haven't shopped for a car in a long time... but I thought much of its standard options (air conditioning, AM/FM stereo with CD and MP3 players and six speakers; power windows, locks and heated mirrors, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel and seven airbags, antilock disc brakes, stability control and traction control)... were just that, options, on most cars.
