Mopar power for the 21st Century! (1 Viewer)

It's illegal to post a car thread without any specs.

300C - $23k-$33k
2.7-Liter 24-Valve V6 - 200hp @ 5,800 / 190 tq @ 4,850
3.5-Liter 24-Valve V6 - 250hp @ 6,400 / 250tq @ 3,900
5.7L Multi-Displacement Hemispheric V8 - 345hp ?

Magnum - $??
Supercharged 5.7L Hemi V8 - 430hp and 480tq

I think the 300C looks Decent but the Magnum only has a good looking front. Any other view and it's reminiscent of a station wagon.

.

It IS a station wagon! I don't care what they call it.

The Magnum is very cool! I love a big station wagon with a big V-8 under the hood. I would like to find an old Nomad to restore, but they are a little expensive.

I like the direction the American car companies are heading. More RWD, powerful cars. Just like an American car is supposed to be.

My favorite NEW cars (2004+)

Chevy:
Corvette. Wow
Cobalt looks nicely executed

Pontiac:
Solstice, Miata fighter!
G6 is pretty hot
GTO a little bland, but it has the moves.

Dodge:
SRT-10 500hp TRUCK?!
The 300 and Magnum

Ford:
New Mustang is retro-cool. Can't wait for the Cobra!
500 and Montego really aren't too bad!

Am I the only one who finds the 300C ugly?

You are not alone, Garrett. It looks like a Volvo 240 with a giant grill.

My god, that 300c is ASS! I hope they do a last minute rethink of the styling on the front end. It has the potential to be a decent vehicle.

Nope. I don't like it either. I really like the Magnum though.

Sorry these pics are sooooo big. I don't have a resizing tool. If someone can resize them I'll edit this post and put the smaller ones in if that's cool and all.

The Chrysler 4-12 KICKS ASS as well and was produced/engineered in less than a year. Rumor has it that this supercar will be the next Mclaren1....

The Crossfire convertible also KICKS ASS and is a beautiful car.

The PT Cruiser convertible is the worlds yes worlds lowest priced convertible in the world at 19k. Very stylish and affordable.




The Slingshot is also interesting:


The new Ram truck with the Viper engine was fabu and I also liked the new Jeep.

Of course some of you will say that I sound a bit bias when it comes to Chrysler products....



I am.

I was fortunate enough to speak with Dieter Zetsche after attending the Chrysler Crossfire press conference in Detroit at the North American International Auto show.

Cars are my life! This year promises to be exciting for Chrysler.

Using my limited photo editing skills, I did a little grill reduction on the 300C:

Maybe it's me, but well-executed "ugly" cars (e.g. Mini, Element, the aforementioned 300C) are pretty cool. I don't know what it is, perhaps the uniqueness?

This, coming from a guy that drives a Honda Accord...

Seems to me V4 operation would be smarter than I4, WRT emissions. But, perhaps not.

I do know one thing- I'm all for the SUV -> Wagon trend, absolutely (I have an irrational hatred toward giant SUVs and their "excess is best"), but the manufacturers need to get the weight down on these things. The Pacifica, for instance, should NOT weigh 4500+ lbs.
