300C vs Monaro vs Jag S

According to the TV prog it's being brought to the UK 'officially' next year and I thought I heard them say with RHD.

And, BTW, you're right about little change on our roads. They're still twisty. (Well, not our motorways.)

Well, looks as though you'll be interested. The sedan version of the Magnum is the Charger and it looks much better than the 300C (curved, sloping top and a kick-up in the body at the c-pillar).

Can the Dodge grill fit on the Chrysler?

The Charger is a two door which is even less interesting than a station wagon.

Sorry I take that back. I was looking a a tiny picture of the Charger and it looked like a two door. When I found a big picture it was clear that it's a four door. However it looks like it has small windows like the 300.

What's wrong with smaller windows? My Pacifica has smaller windows that my T&C LXi and they have caused no problems in the year+ I have owned it. Besides, smaller windows were the norm prior to 1955.

No, a Charger should be a two-door; this one is, however, a four-door sedan.

No seatbelts were the norm in 1955 also, as were unpadded dashes, tires with inner tubes, crappy brakes, mushy suspensions, filthy exhaust. Which feature of a 1950s car are you most nostalgic for?

Congratulations - you responded exactly as I expected you would. I, personally, prefer the smaller windows as I feel safer and more secure when I have more metal surrounding me (case-in-point, I feel considerably more safe and secure when in my Pacifica vs. my T&C). I also feel more rigidity is added when the windows are smaller. But, alas, I am merely one person speaking my opinion. However, as the 300 and Magnum are so popular, others may (note I say may not must) feel the same way. Also, because of their popularity I don't expect DC to change the styling becaus you don't like small windows. As for your questions regarding nostalgic features? Probably filthy exhaust is what I miss most. Nothing like the performance of a vehicle without emissions devices, computers to control them and catalyic converters to make one appreciate what once was and never will be again.

There is (or will be in a few months) It's called "Charger" (yeah, wrong name for a sedan. The sedan should be 'Coronet' and a coupe should be 'Charger' if they're going retro). Not sure when they're supposed to be hitting showrooms, but pretty soon now.
