Blue or Black Magnum RT
My dad is green sheeting it which will knock hopefuly around $4000 off the sticker plus another $8000 down should put me in the ballpark.
I like the look some people don't, I think its a kick ass car.
I am undecided in what color my wife likes the blue and I like the black.

Well, how skilled are you at detailing? Id only suggest black for someone that knows how to maintain it. (or wants to pay to keep it nice)
Blue might make a better daily driver.

Yep....
Those cars are definitely KICK ASS!!!! I saw a show on Speed where they were testing them and was very impressed by how damned cool that car really is. They were getting pretty sideways in them on a road course too, and the car looked very well behaved while doing it!!! I can't wait to see one customized, there are gonna be some people that go crazy with these cars.
I like the metallic red, used to be inferno red I think???

Ya, she knows when I'm on an impulse. Hell, I brought the 12 home and said come lookey what I just got. LOL It is far easier to ask forgiveness than to ask for permission.
And FWIW if it were blue or black...Blue.

I drove one last night. I've been waiting for the car since I saw the concept car in Chicago a couple of years ago. GREAT handling, they took a lot of pains to get the balance right (Battery in the back, etc.) The power is all you'd want in a daily driver. This thing is a BAMF! (I am a lifelong MOPAR guy so it's no surprise I'd like it.) I drove a 300C a while ago, and like the Magnum, it has the 4-6-8 cylinder dropping deal. It's simply amazing that you can't feel the operaton of that system. I've seen them in black, silver, white, and the dark silver. The one I drove had everything but the nav system and stickered at 32. They're marking them up 2 grand for the sticker paying chumps.
My Durango is black. Oregon is a harsh environment so I need to wax it about once a month. I won't be doing black again. I really like the dark silver. I don't want to do the light silver 'cause my other car is silver. It will be my ski car so I'm waiting for the AWD which is due out in the fall. Check out the "Test Drive" show on Speed, good show.

Lifelong MOPAR guy, I can relate. It's been a long time coming for them since the V8 rear wheel drive went away and the K car showed up.
My sister just got a black hemi, she works for an insurance company and it's her assigned company car. Grrrr.

The 300C was the best selling car in the US for June (read in WSJ).
The (full time) AWD will use the Daimler (Merc) 40/60 torque splitter at the transmission. You guys know that the 300 and Mag have independant rear suspension, right? My test ride was with a dealership guy I know and I really hustled the car through the twisties. It's a handler, not just for a "big" American car, but by any standards.

since youve driven one...where on earth is the trailer hitch receiver? or does it have to be installed below the rear bumper? if thats the case...it would almost have to drag the ground wouldnt it? However with a 3800lb towing capacity...id have to assume its of a better design than that?
