As you being the genius you are pointed out, the mag and charger had different interiors, prior to the 08 refresh. While they are still different, they are no longer completely different. As you can see from the picture, they are no longer that much different. Look closely at the dashboard, mainly the lower part where the center consule attaches to the center stack. In the current 300, it is slimmer and matches. In the new one, it is significantly wider, and it also still matches. I do have a very astute eye for details. On the first glance, like you, I didn't notice much. But, on my second glance, I noticed more....the 22 inch monitor may help with that. Look at the door in the picture posted of the OLD 300C interior. The chrome strip continues across the door and onto the handle with not breaks. On the NEW 300 interior, the chrome has a break betweent the door and door handle, just like on the magnum. Look at the doors closely and you will see they are almost identical, 08 mag to 08 300. Now look at the dash closely. While the section over the gauges is different on the 300, the overall dash is almost identical, down to the chrome(on the mag)/wood(on the 300) dash.
Ohhhhhh....please allow me to bow to the master ...#50.... WOOOWWW!!! So you know 100x more than me about the LX line because you've been on this board about 21 months longer than I have. You forgot to point out that you've made about 200 more posts than I have in with that extra 21 months. In my book, that doesn't mean jack. You know what? I doubt it means anything to anybody else either. The fact that you make such a claim shows your true intelligence, or lack thereof. And for the record, you are the one calling me a genius. I never made that claim, but if you believe it to be true, that's perfectly fine with me. And the fact that you are calling ME son, I guess I have to assume that you are well over 60. And if that's the case, I'd say that you are probably senile, because you can't figure out or see the obvious. So what if the piece of chrome on the door is maybe 1 inch shorter. Does this mean that it is an all new door as you claim? I love your astute eye for detail, especially based on a crappy photo of a cutout. I'm willing to bet you $100 that the center console (the part where the radio is housed) will be the exact same width as the 07 model, as will the shape and size of the gauge hood and gauges. You are making a lot of assumptions in assuming that the dash design of the 300 will be the same as the Charger/Mag. You would be wrong. Other than the shifter console, the only real noticable difference with the 08 Mag/Charger compared to the 07 is the shortening of the gauge hood, to make it look somewhat similar to the 300. The doors, gauges, and center console (again, where the radio is) appear to be unchanged (other than maybe a minor trim piece or two) and of the exact same dimensions. The doors in the Charger/Mag and 300 were very similar in the 05-07 models other than the rounded speaker and door handle areas in the Mag/Charger, and these details appear to be carrying over almost unchanged in both cars. But this thread wasn't about the Mag/Charger changes, it's about changes to the 300 interior. And I stand 100% behind these and my earlier comments. And if you would like to make the wager I proposed, just let me know. I know many members here on a personal basis who I'm sure would back me with my bet, including some that have been here almost as long as you have.
