Having been lucky enough to have had one of the originals, ( see pic gallery)if they go ahead with it, it's got to be a 2 door like the original, they may go with additional suicide doors as in the Mazda, they look ok.

 

take a look, both the charger and taurus nascars are coupes even though dodge or ford produces only sedans. then again, i've NEVER seen a v8 rwd taurus either!

 

What I meant was it has a little bit of Cuda look to it. I'm not worried about names. Call it what you want, it looks a little like a Barracuda to me.

 

OIC, but, correct me if im wrong, the 'cuda and challenger use the same body. and now that i look at it better the grill does look more like a 'cuda.

 

An old Plymouth design guy left over maybe?

 

I like everything except the 'tarded cross grill.


Now as soon as the Gremlin makes a return... Still waiting...

 

I heard they are planning on a diesel option!

 

in europe the chrysler 300c has a diesel

 

Slick, I`ll be itchin to buy something new in the next few years and it isnt gonna be a truck. Might have to seroiusly check one out. I can see that Chevy is out to layoff a few thousand more workers, follow the links to the 07 Suburbunk, looks like a giant doo doo, really ought to be a hot seller . Them poor GM auto workers. They have all but thier dignity left and chevy`s trying to destroy that making them push crap like that off the assembly line. someone really needs to talk to thier designers or take their drugs away.

 

And not only that, but the Magnum is available with the much better looking 300C front end as the 300 Touring. Also with a diesel.

Europe gets all the cool cars.

 

OK - I'll probably get a bunch of crap for posting this, but here goes...

I wonder if they're thinking about putting the 'standard' 345 HP (?) Hemi in these along with the 425 HP version. I'd probably be interested in the 345 HP version, especially if they include the cylinder shut off capability. That looks like it'd be a fun car to hammer on around town and still have the possibility of getting some decent mileage on the highway when some of the cylinders shut off - I've heard that the 300C and Charger versions of these cars can get 25 mpg on the highway - though I don't have any real world accounts to back that up...

 

strange thats all the fuel mileage the new hemi gets. a buddy of mine has an 00 firebird w/ an ls1 and he gets 28 on the highway, though it is a manual.

 

We get about 23-25mpg out of our Magnum RT on the highway. 16-17mpg around town. Using regular unleaded.

does it have the cylinder shut-off?

 

Yes, the LX series (Charger, 300C, Magnum) with the 5.7L Hemi has MDS. The 6.1L Hemi does not have MDS. The '06 Ram 1500 with the Hemi now has MDS.
