LMAO!! They named it after something in the 60s and it looks like the design NOT chosen for the 60s. It looks old. It is huge too.

Can't argue though with 340hp for 33k.

I've test driven one. Nice car. Not worth the money right now.(Used to have a 300M) Maybe after a year or so when all the discounts come in & AWD & the 6.1L V8 comes out.
It looks big but isn't. It is a full size car so you have to expect it will not be that small. It's fast, but was slower then my 6 speed.

I'm fairly sure the one with the Hemi is quicker then a CLS6.

Road and track tested the hemi and got a 0-60 of 5.6 seconds and 1/4 mile in 14.2 seconds. There are some six speeds under 14.2 seconds. But yea the hemi is a little faster than a stock 6speed.

Yep, with the bentley looks and a starting base in the low 20's (23K??) it should sell well.

Not my style, but I could see how some people would like it.

If somehow I lost my senses and I did buy one, there is no way I would buy that car with anything less them the hemi in it.

With rims other than the small stockers, and a proper color choice with some lowering springs, this car looks very good. A billet-style grill rather than the egg crate would help this car a lot IMO.

With the Hemi and all-wheel drive, you really can't go wrong. I may look at this car in a few years.

I've seen two of them so far here in SJ, kinda odd since I would have expected to see them in Philly before SJ.

I dont think either was a Hemi powered beast, but still looked nice.

This car is going to be so popular it won't even be funny. I would only get the 300C though.
