He wanted AWD and he wanted it to be luxurious and while the 300S is both of those things I will forever be disappointed he opted for the V6 instead of the V8...

That being said the 300S is a damn good looking piece of metal.

No AWD V8 iirc.

Daimler is the worst.

I know they had AWD with the 13/14 maybe they dropped it. They also dropped the SRT-8 model. Like wtf?!

The SRT-8 is still being sold and got updated not long ago... in Australia.

SRT-8 is replaced by the V8 model, and they don’t need a competitor to the Charger Hellcat.

When 2 people by the 300 AWD V8 they tend to stop making it :/

I would hardly call something with 470hp a competitor to a 707hp monster. I doubt anyone cross shops that

Time to start shopping for a good retirement home, because I’m afraid that grandpa might have lost his goddamn mind. We still all love him though.

Sells a Corvette for a 300.

what kind of c6?

Regarding the 300s - we had a bunch of Magnums with the 3.5 motor at work and they were really nice. I was impressed honestly. I know the v8 is sexier but that larger v6 can be a very nice ride.

As far as four door sedans go a 300 is pretty damn cool

They’re both around $60k

They dropped the SRT because they are pushing Dodge as the performance line, so the 300 made no sense as an SRT. It's the Charger 392's domain.

Why does he need AWD in Florida again?

4 wheel drifting in the rain? :)

I think it will be a good car just not as sexy as the Vette.

And a C6 auto with paddles. He got injured in Vietnam so he didn’t want a heavy clutch pedal.

This is true but to me that still seems like a weird cross shop

True but still it is nice to a little variety

FCA apparently sees it differently.

Hope that he enjoys his new set of wheels.

Wish I had his ‘vette though. ;)

And I am sure he will it is a very nice car.

I agree. The SRT 300 was bad ass is a more classy way that the Charger isn't.

There is a blue 300s AWD V6 that has been sitting at my local dealership for over a year. I don’t understand how it hasn’t been sold.

Also that red looks gooood.

It must be sold now. It’s not showing on their online inventory.
