I resisted as long as I could...

If I'm not mistaken the 2023 300C is the "send-off" special edition model, end of the line. I agree I'd much rather have one of those than a Scat Pack with all the loud graphics and badges. Much more classy and mature but still fast as hell and they sound awesome, hearkens back to the old 300 letter cars.

My mom has had a 2014 300C AWD for about 6 years now. 62k miles and still going strong. It's only the V6 but the 8-speed makes it super snappy around town, she had a 2010 300C Hemi AWD before that and this newer one feels like it accelerates the same up to about 60-70 mph.

I've thought about getting a modern Challenger as my next daily driver but I really want something smaller with a manual transmission that can average more than 17 mpg with mixed driving. Ecoboost Mustang is at the top of my list so far.
Both challengers I have had were 6 speed manuals, and would pull 17 mpg.
