Maybe in Germany the Charger will be a Barracuda or a Challenger.

 

That's pretty slick! I am going to read about that... although I bet you it is nothing but a Magnum with a 300C front end... Still, pretty slick!

 

Since a Dodge Magnum and a Chrysler 300 are mechanically identical is it a Magnum with a 300's front end or a 300 with a Magnum tailgate? Only the Brampton computer knows for sure!
Euros do get rear fog lights - maybe city (or "standing") lights? I'd bet it gets a fire extinguisher and med kit too. Worth some research after it gets released for sale.

 

It is the 300 with a MAGNUM rear end. The inside is 300. NIce though. MOre refined. MAGNUM retains the aggresive lines.

 

The picture you see is the International/Euro version of the Magnum. Since the Dodge name is not appreciated in the International world, DCX is using the Chrysler name and fascia to sell the LX wagon. Also, there's no reason to sell two of the same vehicles in the international countries where it would compete against each other. The only Dodge model that is sold internationally is the Dodge Viper.
Also, DCX is not like GM where you create one vehicle and change the brand for 4-5 other vehicles in the company. DCX is trying to avoid badge engineering as much as possible. Except for the LX family of course.
So to sum it up, not a German magnum, just a Chrysler version for International market.

 

It looks a bit funny with those big reflectors in the rear bumper cover. Glad we don't have those things on our cars here in the USA.

 

Those are not reflectors per se - they are rear fog lights. Say it's foggy and you are crusing at 100MPH and someone in a (pick a faster car) approaches you at 180MPH, rear fog lights start to have their value.

I wonder how those rims would look on our Magnums??

 

I don't read German... Which link is for the photos?
Thanks.

 

I had Google translate that page. Didn't work very well. Kinda funny though...

"Contrasts dress as well known. With the Chrysler 300C Touring is connected it even. Thus completes like hardly ever before: Innovation with tradition. Functionality with luxury. Feeling with understanding. Its durchdachter interior offers both various use possibilities and comfort and luxurioese elegance. Its Design arouses emotions, its technology addresses the reason. And innovative equipment characteristics point the way into the future, without denying their history.

The Chrysler 300C Touring proves, how fascinatingly apparent contradictoryness can be."
