Also, what is "new AWD Model" for Magnum mean? Thanks.

The "ultra-bright" wheels are for the SRT design package and not for the actual SRT model.

Chrome clad wheels are on the R/T Magnum option package, not the SRT Magnum. There is no "SRT design package" for non-SRT Magnums.

I have seen a picture of the 2007 300C, the factory grille and fascia is exactly the same as 2006.

OK, I get it. The Magnum R/T package is called "Road/Track Performance Group" and for the 300C it is called "SRT design Group". However, it still seems odd to put chrome on a so-called performance package plus on a Dodge which usually eschews chrome. The ultra-brite finish seems more like a Dodge thing and the Chrome clad should remain in the Chrylser camp. Thanks for the update.

Here is a pic of the new 1 piece front and rear SRT bumpers that will probably be used on the 300C SRT option package:

KEV, that is the same as on my SRT8 picked up last week.

Check out my pics in this thread and go to page 2 for a comparison pic of the 300C with SRT 61.

Since the SRT design package is simply just an option for the standard 300C I am pretty certain that the front fascia will be the 300C fascia and not the SRT8 facia (also, SRT fascia not listed in the SRT design package list).

BTW, the SRT design package will NOT be available on the 300C long-wheelbase model.

I guess myself and others are wishful thinking. I hope you are wrong and they follow Mercedes lead. Mercedes offers the AMG look on many of their sport packages.

ResumeSpeed,

Do you know if the SRT design group option will come with a spare tire? It has 20 inch wheels as does the SRT8 and the "8" has no spare. Thanks...

Good question, but I can't say for sure. In looking at the 2007 spec sheets it lists "compact spare" for ALL 300 series non-SRT models. There is no spare tire "exception" notation listed with the SRT design package.
