Yesh, I know I hate the new chrysler 300C, but I am digging the MAGNUM.

Talk about a stylish station wagon.

I like the looks of the Magnum too, but not enough to want to go out and buy one.

I love the looks of the Magnum as well.

I'll take a black one on powder-coated 20's. Lowered and shaved. :)

If I were looking for a vehicle in that egment, I'd definitely consider the Magnum. As it stands, I don't really need that type of vehicle...still cool though.

On a side note, Dodge has struck marketing gold with the whole Hemi thing. Hell, most people don't know **** about a hemispherical combustion chamber, they just know that "Hemi" means fast and they've gotta have one.

On another side not, I saw a nice lime green Barracuda today. I would give a body part (OK, maybe just a finger) to own an AAR Cuda.

Mojo - I learned how to drive stick in a lime green '70 AAR Dan Gurney Special that had been swapped to a 440, the 3 two-barrels replaced with a big 4bbl, and it was dropped with all poly bushings and 16x8 and 16x10 rims...

Scaaaaaaa-reeeyyyyyy!

my dream car is a 70 cuda . I think that is the most muscular, brusque car ever. It takes care of all a man's inadequacies whether he has them or not.

Unlike most, I dont want to buy one and restore it to stock.I want to put the big crate motor( do they make a 632 ci for this bad boy?) tHe huge rear wheels and tires (18", 335), and the roll cage.

It'll be BAD

I'd rather have the basic magnum than any of the sedans in that price range (accord, galant, camry et al)

Having had multiple top end Chryslers, I would only consider leasing one. No way would I buy a Chrysler product. They are attractive, thoughtfully designed, comfortable, fast and fun to drive, but they are built poorly and cheaply.

I like the 300... If I wanted to be a wanna-be mobster on a budget, the chrysler 300 would be mine. :)

The 300C is only a sedan in the US, and is offered as a Chrysler 300C Wagon in Europe. The wagon version of the 300C is only sold as the Dodge Magnum in the US, but Dodge dealers have been griping and there may be a Dodge version of the 300C sedan coming soon.

Word is, said Dodge version of 300C sedan will be named the Charger.

Which may or may not cause you to have thoughts of blasphemy...

...but will probably result in a Sunkist-orange paintjob with Stars and Bars and a big "01" on the sides at some point, I'm sure.
