They built four versions because the concorde was done away with. The 300 starts out at 23 thousand and change, the 300C starts at 33 grand. Quite a bit of differance. The 300 series is trying to be everything to everyone. And on a side note there is no way the hemi plant would be able to keep up if every 300/magnum had one.

I purchased a 300 touring and in California the base were at 26,000 and the 300C (hemi's) were 46,000.They added a $10,000 premium on the Hemi's.I went with the touring $30,000 because I wasn't going to pay $16,000 more for 90 horse power and a few trinkets.....that's why I drive the touring Dodgemech......I still love the car and as you can see in my Avator it doesn't look to bad........for a Touring..

 

They're putting a 10K premium on the Hemi. WTF. Go to the next state and save some money. Those are 90 HUGE horsepower though. Nice car too.

 

Uh, check out these links to see what the itty bitty 3.5 V6 has to offer.
