Back in 1999-2000 I was working in Buenos Aires and my company car was a brand new Chrysler Cirrius (they called it a Dodge there). I chose it for two reasons. The first was that the company's close protection team forbid us having BMWs, Mercedes etc because those cars stood out as potential targets. Second, I liked its cab-forward styling and I thought that I'd never get to drive a cab-forward design car again, given my time in Argentina was only planned to be about 18 months. It came with a 2.6 litre V6, sat on a 108 inch wheelbase and had loads of interior room. I know people knock American cars, but I thought it did well in a country where road surface quality was problematic.
