You guys realize that if we thought the dual clutch 6 speed auto was slow on the uptake imagine sitting in 9th gear at 40mph and flooring it then waiting for the tranny to shift from 9th to 4th so you can start to move.

Add some turbo lag into that and the car will be....uh...fun?

9 gears is a bad way to get 40mpg.

Great looking little car. Glad to see Chrysler stepping their game up after making bad, bad products for 10 years. The 300c? Most cheap feeling/looking luxury car on the market. But the new 300c looks fantastic. Id buy one over a Taurus.

Makes sense, the car looks like a Kia.

Depending on my financial situation this time next year I could easily see myself trading my fiesta for an R/T Dart with a stick.
