I'm sorry, I just don't see that, the 300C is so gangsterish, I dig it. And the magnum is the best looking wagon I've seen in awhile. The rest of them I can understand but those two are just not bad at all.

Not too long ago on M&M, there was a very lengthy post on Chrylser/MB. IT was not flattering re the mechanical or lack of mechanical excellence. While lengthy, it sure brought up some damn good points. As an ex Dodge Caravan SE owner, circa '97, can honestly say that it was a very user friendly, comfortable, attractive van. But it ended there. It would be like asking a super hottie looking lady to dance and then get confronted with BO, bad teeth, dogbreath, talks like a drunken bum, farts, and steps on you feet! The worst new car I ever bought and I've bought a lot of them. Their styling is very good and am sure they snare a lot of one time owners. The Magnum is sharp and one mag gives the 300, Car Of The Year. Have always dismissed that as ad revenue for good ink! Not crazy about the 300 but it is good looking. The PT Loser?? no comment, just a belch! They hit the mark with the Scion and the A**tick

I like the retro look that most are doing these days. But, they seem to be going for the "looks like a certain vehicle, but with modern tones". I would like to see them do one that when you see it you say "that's obviously a 60's muscle car, but for the life of me I can't place it" That's the kind of designing I'd like to see them do. Have all the modern stuff inside and subtle.------------------

GM is always looking for bad designers. They want to prove the ugliest vehicle hasn't been built yet! ------------------

Although I am a Ford man and will die a Ford man I do however like the looks of the Dodge magnum besides my Grandfather used to say "If can't get your hands on a Ford than drive a Chrysler it is the next best thing." God rest his soul.

"GM is always looking for bad designers. They want to prove the ugliest vehicle hasn't been built yet!"They have, however, outdone themselves with the HHR!. You may rethink your stance on the Aztek after seeing this thing. I don't who is in charge of GM styling but they need to throw a retirement party for him.

It just seem slike GM has no ideas left. The HHR is ugly, and have you seen their new mini-vans? Let's take a Chevy Venture and put an SUV nose on it. Have you seen the 2006 Impala? Chevy has decided to go retro. All the way back to the 90s. It looks almost just like the Lumina it replaced! ------------------
