Walked outside this morning....

I woke up this morning and went off to work like always. But today there was a very intresting car parked infront of my house. I took a quick glance at it and concluded it must belong to the people who live 3 houses down, but park infront of my house anyway. I thought it most likely to be a caddy and didnt think to much more about it till half way through my shift that day i realized i saw the word "hemi" on the side of it has I drove away. I hurried home after my 8 hours was done but alas it was gone. When my dad came home I asked him if he saw any intresting cars parked infront of out house this morning. He said; "No but I brought a 300M home from work"

Make an already long a little shorter. I havent driven too many "nice" cars but i was very impressed with the new 300M. Also not a big fan of the HEMI hype but that car had some get up and go to it. I noticed when we drove it to Wendy's all the guys in their SUVs where checking it out. When we were done with dinner a genatmen was out looking at us and started a conversation about the dodge magnum.

I like the new look to it. Kinda retro, something you would find in a Batman comic, or maybe **** Tracy.

Overall I would be ashamed to drive one, even if it does have a HEMI.

Unfortunatly he has to take it back tommarow, but ill try and snap some pictures before that.

if it has the HEMI, I believe it's the 300c. I could be wrong though.

Good call. I didnt think about that, but I did ask my dad why it had a C under the HEMI logo and I didnt pay attention to the rear badge.

If yall were wondering its a rear wheel drive.

I don't know guys... I kinda like the look of the 300. It's definately different... I do, however, hate the fact that every vehicle that Dodge/Chrysler is coming out with lately has the 'HEMI' label on the side. I mean, we don't see any of the other auto makers exploiting a name in such a manner do we?

Like someone else said the Hemi design is not uncommon. So they could prolly put it on evrything.

I think it's a pretty interesting car. At least if it's got the 5.7, Hemi. Can you believe that the base engine is a 2.7 V6? That car is no light weight.

Looks like a cross between a 72 Gran Torino, and a Bentley?? I do actually like 72 Gran Torinos, so I like the front end at least ,,,,98

I saw one going down the road today. I think it actually looked pretty good except for that very large grill on the front end. I think it would actually be a nice car, but the only thing that would ever keep me from getting one is the grill. Downsize it a little and it would look pretty good.

What is up with Dodge making these huge grills on their vehicles. I think they take away from the rest of the car.
