That Thing Got A HEMI? Sweeeeeet!
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:
http://superdave369.home.comcast.net...0cdrifting.avi
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

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!

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.
