I think they're pretty sweet! You definately don't see very many on the roads and when you do it sticks out!

they definately look cool. power wise they were never really impressive. i know the auto sucks, but if you look at the market they were designed for the automatic makes sense.

yeah

They are cool looking cars no doubt about it. For me the no manual transmission is a total deal breaker though. A 250hp engine (even if it IS a v6) can probably move a 2800 lb car pretty well though. If they had a 6spd and another 100hp or so they would be bad ass.

Buy a used viper instead

Actually, I think the prowler is pretty awesome looking. How much are they going for?

I would definitely go for the 250 hp engine if you were to choose. My 2004 300M has the same engine and for a big boat it can get up and go, so I'd say a much lighter Prowler would still be alot of fun.
