About what I expected and I think they might want to reconsider the pricing.
Pricing in the range of the Magnum i.e. the R/T version will be 30k...The 300C is what 32k? I just don't see people buying the less attractive Dodge over the more luxury tilted Chrysler when the pricing is that close.
Between the Intrepid and the 300M there was a much larger gap than that.

Still, coming in at 30k will make it the 2nd cheapest RWD game in town next to Ford and the 'stang. Well, I guess 3rd cheapest if you count the Crown Vic.

The reason it doesn't stand out is because it looks like a Dakota truck mated with the 300C... somehow its face hit every branch on the way down the ugly tree.

Re: DCX says: 300's success makes it hard for Charger to stand out.

Which is why i wish they'd do more to seperate the two. Why should i spend 30k on a Charger when i can get the better looking and more luxurious 300C for a bit more?

If they stayed true to the original charger and kept it a coupe and given it better lines than it wouldn't have any trouble standing out among the seas of 300C's. How can you expect it to stand out when all it is a not-so-good-looking version of the 300C sedan badged as a Dodge?
