Went to a motor trader show today with trader friend at the Millbrook track.
What a car yes I know its a bit low rent inside and not up with the Germans in terms of dynamics but the way it looks, goes and handles is fabulous. The engine sound is good too. We drove it road the hills/bends section and couldn't stop smiling. It handles like a much smaller car. Fortunately we didn't have to pay for the fuel. Drove Imprezza and Nissan 350 coupe also which were great but Hemi took us by surprise. The Hemi was also the most requested drive! Have a go in one if you can.

Oh ya! The 300C is awesome! Very suprising... almost looks like a RR Phantom!

From what I've seen so far this is a great engine spoiled by a second rate baody.

Having said that it does seem to be well priced for what it is.

Can't see too many company car drivers opting for one with those emissions!

I hear there will be a diesel option when its launched in the UK and all for 25k. Also they said on Top Gear tonight that Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand both own the Hemi version.
