my local dodge dealer told me end of may for the magnum.i'm not buying,i'd just like to see it to get a real opinion on the looks,i sorta like it but i'm not completely sold.if nothing else,i like it for just being different looking.as far as i know all models will be available at start.autoweek gave it a good review for all models,especially the hemi(duh).they do say the 3.5V6 will be more enough for most people,i know it's pretty nice in the current 300M.

I caught a blurb from a show on the Speed Channel saying they started production this month and the 300C/Magnum should be hitting dealers sometime in April/May...I think

Production line has been going since last month (preproduction pilot cars & training).

300 is out in a couple of weeks, Magnum in may, AWD versions late this summer, and the Charger next February, all from the same plant.

I just saw a car carrier full of the 300s heading east on the New York State Thru-Way today. It was between Utica and Albany.

I might go asking around to see when they might be getting them in. There is a 300C in a new DCX commercial. They look like sharp cars. And I cant belive that DCX already has a DoD system... damn it GM, you gotta move faster!! The trucks should be getting them soon, and thats more of a useful toon on a truck since they consume the most gas. The Hemi option will be a small number of magnum/charger/300 sales. I hope that DCX learned from the Pacifica not to bring the higher end models out first.
I would love to take a ride in one.

To answer my own question, they've just hit dealerships

Saw one today, I tried conning my g/f into taking it for a ride, but she doesn't like how big it is...

My local mom and pop dealer has one sitting out near the street. I noticed it driving by today. I was suprised because they were the last to see a PT and a Pacifica. Hamden Chrysler Plymoth Hamden Ct if anyone is interested.
