Rob,

A few weeks ago I posted my impressions of the styling of the Crossfire. I had parked our SVX alongside the Crossfire. At that time they only had the smaller engine and had not yet announced the convertible. You may want to find that post and read it.

From a strickly styling viewpoint, my initial impression is that the grills on the new 300 & the Magnum are too mmassive for the rest of these cars. They make the front ends look too heavy. The original 300C & D had big grills , but the design flowed into the tail fins and was more balanced front to back. I have only seen photos of the new 300 & Magnum and will reserve final judgement until I can walk around these cars.

I would love to see someone (Chrysler) incorporate a modern version of "boat tail" styling into one of todays sporty cars.
