I never saw the Magnum front end as ugly or a bit over the top...... till I saw these pics. The new front end looks great.

The interior is a huge improvement by the way.

That front end looks great. Big improvement over the current car.

LX. Just a mid-term refresh of the existing car. Updated interior and end caps.

300 will get an update too, to be shown at NAIAS. Charger gets the new interior but no exterior update until next year.

LX.

LY is simply going to be an improved version of the LX.

I may be from Kentucky but you didn't have to tell me twice.

It looks nice...

I don't know if I like it better than the existing nose or not... the existing one is a bit more unique... more agressive, IMO.

Is the stance different? I like it. Much more aggressive looking. The thing is the price. I was at a Dodge dealer a month ago and a 2006 RT loaded was over 36K. I'm sure a SRT's gotta be over 40K. Too much for a station wagon.

The new front end should have been on the charger.

I love it. It looks strange with the station wagon body and the updated front end, but it looks very, very good.

It's a very good time to make a (low) offer. There are lots and lots and lots of 06s sitting out there, including SRTs (Chargers and 300s too). A nearby Chrysler-Jeep dealer (in a pretty wealthy town) has had the same 300C SRT-8 sitting in his showroom since JUNE. He's gotta be getting pretty tired of looking at it, not to mention tired of paying the vig on it...

I second guionM. Looks great and makes the current car (which I've always liked) look worse in comparison.
