UGLY...you could stuff 9 people in that massive grille and start a game of Celebrity Squares.

Not to mention it's a tank and won't pull down better times than a GS4

I dont know, the grills not half bad... the car looks pretty classy in my opinion. Its about damn time dahlmer (spelling?) started doing some designing in that relationship... As far as it not pulling down better times than a GS4... I say, sometimes there a better things than being able to go a 1/4 of a mile quickly. I wont make a decision on whether or not I really like it yet (i would have to see the interior, engine, options...) but from here it looks pretty good.

If I said I liked it, I'd be lying.

Reminds me of, as said above, a bentley. Unfortunately it is not and therefore is a knockoff with some ugly lines. I second the opinion of the hollywood squares also..

I believe that model picture above (RWD, Hemi V-8), is going to be called the 300C (Motor Trend, 10/03 issue).
