Not big on any of Pontiac's late models... Still looks pretty good... I'd still take a 300C over it anyday...

Not too bad. There are better cars out there, but I would take this if someone wanted to hand it over.

Chrysler 300C SRT-8. 425bhp HEMI. 420 ft-lb torque. 0-60mph in about 5 secs... Yeah... 'Nuff said as far as American sedans go .

The GXP is still pretty damn sexy in my eyes, but it's suppose to be a real dream to drive.

Two things I can't stand about the 300, it's pretty noisy in the cabin and the short windows suck, they cut down you visibility a lot. But they do drive and handle so so nice.

it kinda looks like Pontiac took the front end of their new G6 and spliced it with the Grand Prix.... but i like it, there a sleek looking beast, espically the GXP
And as the 300C stands, everytime i see one of those drive by, i can't help but stare cause i love how those cars look, and even with out the SRT-8 option, you can still get a 300hp Hemi V8 for it....and for a family sedan.. i love it, plain and simple

Yeah, the 300C is very nice. I was drooling over a black one at my local dealership when it first came it. Anywho, one more sedan that's worth mentioning is the Dodge Charger (pic of an SRT-8 version below)... Although I don't like it carrying the Charger name... Still nice, but it's more like a Magnum sedan...

The new Charger reminds me of the '05 Mustang a little. I might even like it more.

yeah, i hate how they turned the Charger into a sedan, the original Charger was the one that tore up the whole muscle car industry, and now it's a family sedan. But oh well, i still like it, and you should see the all decked out model, i think it was called a Daytona? with a new paint job and a bigger scoop on the back, i like it.....and keep your eye out for the new Challenger, their currently designing the new challenger, and from what i have seen from a couple of shots of it, i'm not to impressed. That and the Camaro is currently in the design phase to, keep your eyes out fella's a bunch of new cars with old names will be coming out sooner or later!

oh and speaking of that charger and seing the Police Cruiser model in the background, the new movie used the new Chargers for there police cruisers, kind of a hint that the new Chargers will be in the police force very soon, and they do look sharp as a police cruiser i think.

I actually think GM canned the new Camaro with a bunch of other cars in development. I'll try and dig up the article and post it up later.

I think those were actually 300Cs... The back end looked more like a 300C in The Island (unless you're talking about a different new movie?)... I dunno, but they had the same type of paint job. Chrysler, among tons of other companies, really pushed their products in that movie.

About the new Camaro. I've heard both that it was possibly in development and that it was canned :/. *shrugs* I wish that these reborn muscle cars, like the GTO and Charger, would look more like their original counterparts, like the '05 Mustang does.
