The 2006 Dodge Charger possibly could be the car that replaces my 1994 Dodge Intrepid. I'm glad they made it a 4-door.
The appearance of the Chrysler 300C still has not grown on me. Whenever I see one I think "cartoon car". I have similar thoughts about the Prowler and the PT Cruiser.
Oops. I forgot. It's RWD. Never mind.
You could always spend less time making stupid remarks and more time learning how to drive...!
Well, no, not really. Y'see, there's only one reason to bitch about a car being RWD, and that is that you don't know how to drive.
They must do a good job of plowing and salting the streets wherever it is in Michigan that you drive. Probably not upper peninsula, right?
I grew up driving in Minnesota, and learned to drive on ice and snow in RWD vehicles. FWD is much better. AWD even better.
You see, there are other reasons to bitch about a car being RWD.
Don't worry about Daniel. He is getting older and when that happens, older people just like to bitch about everything. Example( Elton John).
I've driven many miles for years in winter in CO, MI, IL and ON, in properly-equipped RWD cars, and never had a problem. Also driven many miles for years in winter in CO, MI, IL and ON, in properly-equipped FWD cars, and never had a problem.
The trouble is on your end; you don't know how to drive and/or you don't know how to select tires. That's certainly not the car's fault.
Chrysler claims that advances in traction control compensate in snow to make RWD ok. You could get a AWD Magnum if they are available yet.
RWD is OK. I've got a 300C with ESP and could barely make it up my driveway with less than one inch of snow on the ground. The incline is about 15 degrees, my FWD car and minivan had no problems.
I am reminded of a series on UK TV. It has articulate and known older men giving their forthright opinions about this and that.
It's called "Grumpy Old Men".
We may have a candidate from this NG...

I used to live in Rochester NY before radial tires were popular. I had a 71 Dart Swinger and used snow tires. Horrible in the ice and snow. Now I live in NC. A few years ago we had a freak 2 foot snow storm. Couldn't believe how well my FWD 94 LHS did in it.
And the tires on your 300C are...?
