dodge is at least starting to move in the right direction....I mean it comes with harmon kardon speakers and has 465 hp?

No point in doing that either unless you really plan on buying one.

Like the current one better. JMHO. Do the current gen with the next gen's interior and you have a winna.

On the whole, though, if I were buying a Mopar product, it would be the Chally.

Got a chance to sit in the Charger and 300C... I think they're both big improvements, but would take the 300 over the Charger.

Of course, auto shows don't give you the chance to experience 465 horsepower, so who knows?

Thing I can't stand with the new 300 are the tacky chrome tail lights. Other than that, it's a nice car indeed.

I HATE the wing on the SRT's... does it really serve any function or is it cosmetic.

I must be sniffing too much glue, but the updated exterior is def an improvement and the interior update is like a first class upgrade for free. I'll take mine black on black, minus the goofy rear spoiler, some nicer wheels and debadged. Need to grow a mullet first though.

You might not like the int design but it's far from cheap. The trim is aluminum not plastic. The quality of materials used in this gen are top notch.
