Did anyone else see the USNEWS Article on The best Cars Deals?
I like the zero percent deal, plus that fact it's a "Lawn Chair strapped to a V10"
Here is the part about the Vipers.

2009 Dodge Viper: 0% APR financing for 48 months
The Dodge Viper will slip into history soon. When Fiat took over Chrysler’s three brands, it announced a five-year plan to remake the company -- and the Viper wasn’t part of it. Production will end in July. But the car will go into the pantheon of legendary sports cars. It’s an elemental beast. An 8.4-liter V10 (yeah, you read that right) sends 600 horsepower to the rear wheels through an old-fashioned six-speed manual with a real stick (no fancy paddle shifters here). That’s most of what the car is. If you want a navigation system, an exotic stereo and heated seats, go buy something European. The Viper is little more than a lawn chair strapped to a V10 -- but that’s the beauty of it. It’s a brutal race car that happens to be, just barely, street legal. Right now, though, Dodge is struggling to get rid of the last Vipers. January sales were down 80 percent from just one year ago. So they’ve slapped interest-free financing on their supercar -- and dealers are willing to listen to any offer.
