Is it just me, or did DC finally step up w/this?

The Magnum and Charger SRT-8 look better to me, and they lose the ghetto vibe that comes from the 300.

I'm not sure why it has a ghetto appeal. Yes, I can see a black guy driving this car. But i'm not sure why that is synomous with ghetto.

By 'ghetto' I meant style over performance. Maybe that's the wrong term. The 300 is more showy than the Charger or Magnum, in my opinion. But they all have real hardware underneath. I prefer cars with more go than show, and if given the option I'd choose the version with less show and more go. Kind of like the term 'rice' to imply stickers and wings, but no performance hardware underneath.

Well, atleast here in L.A., almost 80% of the 300c I see are driven with spinners or bling-bling rims that are way too big. Bling-bling=tasteless ghetto as opposed to stock=more classy

I think it's due to the poor-man's Bentley styling and the huge wheel arches that can accomidate oversized wheels. I have to admit I really like those aftermarket mesh grills (runs and hides)
