It seems like more people seem to care about the Magnum more than the Chrysler 300. I said Chrysler 300 because of something M5 brought up. Anyhow, the 300 is a maybe in my view. Of course, if you have a Mercedes weighing in at 3,796 pounds (GT2), then why not this machine? I like to think the 300 is more of a family-oriented luxury sedan than a race car even though it isn't like Cadillac. Of course, Cadillac nowadays want to make their cars stand out by pure performance but tend to let up in styling. And sure, maybe they look better than a tuner car (for those who agree with this statement), I'd certainly want the Magnum even if my counterparts disagree.

And if you don't get the 300 or the wagon (which looks more like a Magnum if anything), hope for the PT cruiser or the Mopar Reynard LMP racer from 2000. Or maybe even the LMP that Oreca raced with in 2001. Confused with all these cars? So am I. That's all from me. I'll just get my ass kicked (and shot) in GTA: Vice City while you reply away.

Yup, just like Toyota Matrix & Pontiac Vibe (aka. Toyota Voltz in Japan), they're basically the same car, but they differ very differently when it becomes to trimmings and model ranges.

Umm, no they don't. With regards to model ranges, the cars are identical. Same engine options for both Toyota and Pontiac iterations. The switchgear are also identical or very similar. About the only thing that seperates the two cars is exterior styling.
 
I'll take the Magnum or the 300C, as long as they have the sounds of a real hemi.
 
under the skin they(Vibe, Matrix) are the exact same vehical. Lets not forget about the SRT-8's coming next year. Magnum SRT-8 sedan will have 450hp and will cost less than a CTS-V. But there's no chance of the Concept SRT-8 making it in GT-4
 
Heh, don't forget about the soon to arrive Crossfire SRT-6.
 
I suppose this car would look good in the pits. :p j/p, over here in the UK a BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) driver tested this car for a tv show, he said it handled unlike many cars from the US - hence it's not scared of turns - and also rallycrossed it in some dirt but felt it was too heavy to really be cosidered a drivers car but was a good motorway car except for the "ghastly interior" which the US can't seem to get right. Verdict: get a 5 series or merc e class.

What's that gotta do with this topic? Umm ...guess what I'm saying is it's not really a car to take racing in GT however the Intrepid and the Jag XJS weren't that great either and they were in. Sooo erm ...yeah that's it !
 
I'm sorry... i dont like that car... it does not represent American astheticsm/craftsmanship to me.. its verry un-attractive to me.. i've seen a few up close and they are not pretty. lol.
 
I know... sadly i was unlucky enough to see one upclose :guilty:

Thats not the case by some American auto reviewers. Most think its very nice and in many ways nicer than the newer caddys. The 300c is at least $20k cheaper than the top(excluding E55 and M5) E class and 5 series cars and it has more power and 0-60 times are better. The SRT-8 will compete with the E55 and M5 but wont be as extreme. But I think a Nomally aspired Viper V10 woulda been better than a super charged Hemi.

It is a car for GT racing. GT2 had a "Luxury Sedan Championship" and the Aristo V300 is already one of the cars it would go up agisnt in that race. There should be more full sized or big mid sized cars in GT4.

The rumored 6.1L version of the Hemi that will power the 300C SRT-8 and a hi-po version of the Charger will be naturally aspirated, not supercharged. And trust me, for everyday driveability the Hemi is much more suited to see duty in the 300C than the 8.3L V10. My guess is the 6.1L will be a bit more tame, lighter than the V10 (I think), and for many, good enough to get the job done. It'll probably cost a bit less than the V10. I'm sure some nut will probably get around to building a V10 powered 300 C though, IF it hasn't already been done. Hell Startech will already build you a Crossfire with a 6.1L V8 and a 6 speed manual transmission.
 
I was only going by the concept SRT-8's. Had no idea there was a 6.1l engine. The Viper V-10 would be cooler but not better(8mpg in the Ram SRT-10).
 
my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yuck:
 
does any one know if the dodge magnum will be sold in canada cause i haven't seen one yet.and i'd like to see a holden ute ss in GT4.
 
I swear im not lying...I had a nightmare last night i owned one of these cars.. I swear im not trying to be funny.
 
How bout this would it be a worse nightmare if you owned an aztek or that new Cadi XLR? I don't think this car is THAT bad.
