Now I dunno. I think a luxury car like the 300 c would only attract people
who are super rich and like cars like cadilacs. (No offense to anyone
here.) I know that if they put such a promising engine into the 300 c I will
not buy it. I want a muscle car, Or a new Dakota with a Hemi. Dodge better
not screw this up.
