The Charger is the same as the Magnum.

The Avenger is the same as the Sebring.

I really love chrysler.

I love how people who love imports (Accord, Camry, Altima) and constantly bash the sebring, avenger and other american cars when the sebring/avenger are an iihs 2010 top safety pick whereas the accord, camry, altima are not. =)

@chryslerminivans1111 you mean the charger is the same thing as a chrysler 300

[shawtiee1085]

the magnum is the same as charger. it did poor in side impacts. possibly broken pelvis and ribs!!

[chryslerminivans1111]

Yes.

The 300 Touring (wagon) is the Magnum in the states. Magnums hardly sell in Europe, and in fact Chrysler LLC. just recently in 2007 launched Dodge in countries that they weren't sold in. You asked the Chrysler expert here.

ok thnks :) is it true by the way that the 300C station is actuall the magnum with a 300c front? i dont really see any differences apart from the front.. i see them driving here more then the magnums

[delRDBsol]
