I know the 'Haters' call it ugly! But who cares if it is not pretty? At $32k it is 'pretty' awesome!

300C Drifting and Burnout Video:

From Car & Driver:

0 - 60mph: 5.3 seconds
1/4 mile: 13.9 seconds @ 102mph
top speed: 130mph (governor limited)
70 - 0mph: 184ft
roadholding: .77g
C/D ovbeserved fuel economy: 17mpg

NOTE: It rides on pitiful tires - H-rated 60 series (225/60/18)? Just think what it will do with some decent rubber?

Very good buy in my mind!

I actually like the wagon even better and am embroiled in the long and tedious process of trying to convince my wife that the Hemi Dodge Magnum is "better" than her C320 wagon. I have yet to be successful

I actually saw one in person for the first time this weekend and I think it is one of the best looking american cars....I think they will sell a ton of them.

Oh and not to mention the Hemi

cool video, was that filmed at the wild rivers parking lot in socal?

I remember driving by there last week and seeing some white tents. Dont tell me I missed out on a chance to test drive one of those things.

My wife's X5"s lease is up in the fall and the Dodge Magnum wagon will be available with all wheel drive and the Hemi. Trying to figure out a way to talk her into it instead of another X5. It'll be cheaper with a lot more "fun factor". Probably more cargo room to boot.

They'll have to sell a lot of them to pay for the 2.7 million cars they just recalled for transmission problems!

That money may also come from Mercedes-Benz sales? Don't forget Mercedes and Chrysler are part of the same company.

The 300C and Magnum RT with the 5.7 liter Hemi and the V6 AWD versions have the same 5-speed transmission in our W210 E55.

I got a chance to test drive one yesterday at the Rose Bowl. Not only is it fast but it's also very luxurious and spacious. A fully loaded 300c V8 with navigation etc will be around 37.5K-38K...not a bad price if you ask me.

0-60 in 5.3 sec according to May Car and Driver. Amazing! The Dodge Magnum Hemi ("It's not a") station wagon is an even greater steal at $30,000.

Interesting fact according to Automobile Magazine; the new "Hemi" does not have hemispherical combustion chambers, Hemi

Maybe it's a Semi-Hemi? :p

BTW there is a high performance SRT version due out next year.

I actually like the design on that.
