Haven't had the chance to drive it, but I find the lines rather appealing. Definately looks like a much more expensive car, although at the same time somewhat of an "old man's" car.

Just don't like the rear end.

I have seen it, haven't driven it. I love the look of the car, perhaps even more than the 5. It has an elegant presence to it. Yes it looks on the old man side, but with the right accessories, it could look younger. Plus, the Hemi makes it a strong performance contributor (at that price, compared to the 525 or 530). I too do not like the rear end. It is not the shape necessarily, but more so the bareness of it and the two boring lights. The Hemi version with the light rear light upgrade looks a little better, but it is still a little off. From the front though, nothing beats it, and for the price and performance and interior room, I am considering it. I have pushed back a purchase until after we move and close on our next house, but it will either be a 525 or a 300C V8.

With all of that said, the sports package is really pulling me (keeping me) at the 5.

I think Chrysler will sell the new Hemi 300 like hot cakes. I'm waiting to see the hi perf model next year.

I think it look a lot like the rolls royce phantom. I think Chrysler stole some of the looks from Phantom. O well wewill see when it comes out
