The reason I ask is I pulled up to a 300C (also an LX platform car) driving home the other night and oh-my-god it was a tank. I'm not sure 4 inches chopped out would alter my opinion much either. The pictures I've seen have been inconclusive since they rarely have any context other than showing the car (which all would agree is gorgeous). Thanks.
Mike- If you look at the new Challenger in person, and compare it to the 300/Charger, you would not know that they were built on the same body. The 300 is boxy, the Challenger isn't. It is sleek and clean. Stunning would be a good adjective to describe it.
It is not a small car but the designers did a great job of making the hood look long. I certainly would not call it squatty. Try to see it in person before you make any hard core decisions on the look.
