According to the TV prog it's being brought to the UK 'officially' next year
and I thought I heard them say with RHD. And, BTW, you're right about little change on our roads. They're still twisty. (Well, not our motorways.)

The sedan version of the Magnum is the Charger and it looks much better than the 300C (curved, sloping top and a kick-up in the body at the c-pillar). RP |

Sorry I take that back. I was looking a a tiny picture of the Charger and it looked like a two door. When I found a big picture it was clear that it's a four door. However it looks like it has small windows like the 300. |

However it looks like it has small windows like the 300. What's wrong with smaller windows? My Pacifica has smaller windows that my T&C LXi and they have caused no problems in the year+ I have owned it. Besides, smaller windows were the norm prior to 1955. |
