Theres a...

...300 Limited parked at the American Legion hall across the street from my house...Me and the dog walked over and looked at it. First one Ive gotten an up close look at.

Jeebus thats a nice car for the money. Reverse sticker shock in the extreme.

Oh ya, and the dodge dealer near my job has a pearly white Magnum outside the showroom...

That car is the definition of what automakers have pretty much completely forgotten over the years. Make an overall great car for a good price and people will come.

funny how people slammed it for styling when the pictures first came out. i remember people hating on it as recently as the LA show. i said back then it has great presence and i'm still standing by it now.

I'll still slam it for styling (exterior). I hate the way it looks...

i still haven't warmed up to either yet. I think the previous 300 was a much better looking car.

I'll still slam it on styling, too--it STILL looks like a Checker cab from the front. But the value would make me close my eyes and buy it.

My business partner hates it too, and I talked her into buying one!

A Magnum?! Those aren't supposed to be in dealers till June 7th! But then again, 300s weren't supposed to be out till May, and they started popping up in mid-April.

You are dead right about the 300 being ALOT of car for the money & reverse sticker shock!! That 300 Limited is in the same price range as the Impala!!!!

Whether people love or hate the styling, no one can deny two things about the car that guarantee we'll soon see them everywhere: It has "PRESENCE", and they're priced to sell!

Move up to the "C", and you can add GTO performance too (4 piston 12 1/2" brakes, 5.3 0-60 times, and hot handling just a tire upgrade away).
