Personally, I'm holding out for the return of the fabulous 1953 Hudson Hornet.

The Imperial was too much of a poor man's rolls. They should integrate some of its touches into the redone 300C though. Preferably the round headlights to make it look more like the 1950s 300c. And also some of the rounded off touches. The current 300 is too boxy.

Yes, but that boxy look was very refreshing after the super sleek "cab-forward design" 300m and Intrepid.

They need to get some of that sleekness back, dodge's lineup is starting to look like it's made of legos.

Exactly. I recently rented a Caliber, did 225 miles worth of strictly in-town driving and it got 24 mpg. That is exactly what it is supposed to, according to fueleconomy.gov. However, for highway driving, the Caliber is only rated at 28 mpg. That is just 3 mpg more than the Challenger SE is rated on the highway. I might have considered buying a Caliber as a second car if it got at least 30 on the highway.

Hey Roswell take lots of pics of your car when you get it. That's probably exactly what I'll be ordering.

Gladly. AFTER I get the 1970-style insignia mounted and the Cragar 17-inch model 612 rims on it.

I thought the PROWLER was a just a limited run car. I didn't think they were trying to make those for 10 years. I've seen several of those CORVETTE'S you fellas are talking about with the 53' front end on them... I almost bought one for only 20k it had a custom removable hard-top. Man it was sick...someone stole it from me and bought it before I could get rid of my truck..[:@] I saw a similar VETTE' going for over 40k on Ebay motors[:'(] jeez louise.... ohh yeah the ones I saw were all C5's they were made to commerate the 50th aniversy which was in 03' of coarse...
