This is the ONLY American car I would actually buy.

All I can say is WOW!!!
the suspension and transmission are from Mercedes.... wow what an AWESOME vehicle
those vent scoops in the front at the bottom cool the brakes.. and with 392 ft lbs of torque and 340 HP, you need the brakes fro spirited driving
oh yeah, THIS IS REAR WHEEL DRIVE!!! YES!!! Superb high performance handling

Only problem Manny, the Hemi is a 4/8 - 4 cylinders at idle and 8 under load.
Anyone remember the Caddy 4-6-8s?
I've been looking at this beast for a couple of weeks now, also take a peek at it's sister - the Dodge Magnum.
Now all I gotta do is get another raise...

I can't wait until they release the "Police Package" for us. Gonna be sahweeeeeeet!!!! Probably won't see it until next year though.
And, if you are curious, they replaced the Dodge Intrepid line w/ this car... so, no more Dodge Intrepids.

Hmmm - kinda reminds me of the S.U.X. 6000 from Robocop.
Nope - don't like it. It seems that since Cadillac is making big, ugly, art-deco-looking luxury cars, Chrysler has taken to making big, ugly, Cadillac-of-yester-year-looking cars. It looks too much like a mid-80s Bentley to me... like Bentley told a Cadillac designer to come up with something based on their flagship car and put a cheese-grater on the front.
I'm sure it's an awesome car underneath all that retro-ugliness.

I agree, very Bentley R looking, but worse.
I'm sure there is a world of difference between our transatlantic tastes, that car would not sell in any quantity over here, based on looks anyway.
I have to say though, the 300C which comes with a whole host of gadgets, is a hell of a lot car for the money. Less than £20K for all that car. Very reasonable.

You really have to see it in person, it looks better than the pics. And in the fall - all wheel drive becomes available!

Still looks like the S.U.X. 6000 to me from the front.
Everything from the front wheels back is pretty decent otherwise.

Another case of bad timing. They ripped off my name for a car. The one I designed in high school was called the Crossfire. Bastards.
