If you are keen on one, you should get on it quick.
https://www.caradvice.com.au/914051/...-in-australia/ I love these cars and well I guess that's the last we will see of big RWD V8 for decent money around here. |

Surprised it made it this long. They sold like 50 of them in 2019. Probably less last year. Most likely nearly all to the cops.

Like so many things we insist must be made available in RHD, very few people actually wanted one.
This adds some perspective to Mustang sales level in Australia, thank goodness next gen is an evolution. |

People want the Challenger and Charger
Although the Charger is the same car is has a known name plate and looks different the 300 which would refresh the car in a way, as the 300 has been here for ages.

The car hasn't actually been withdrawn I think it has been misreported. It is that the 6.4 motor is currently not available for order for Australia (Jeep SRT included)

FCA (Aust.) believe they have more important work to do with reputations and what not before getting in to that sort of stuff.

Drew my attention, well looked after. ![]()

The Crossfire was built on an old Merc SLK platform. As for OP, will be a shame to see the Big 300 SRT gone, and with it the affordable RWD V8 Performance sedan.. Now you either have to grab a Stinger or spend a shedload more coin on a C63S....

![]() ![]() Sebring - ![]() ![]() For some unknown reason, Chrysler offered the Sebring in soft top or hard top convertible options. Both were appealingly terrible. And the Crossfire? Appallingly terrible too.

Sad day. I used to have one years ago. It was great when it worked.
Even though it was garbage I still miss it. 5.7, 6.1, 6.4 and 6.2 are all great sounding engines |

I thought they killed them off here a few years ago, then they got resurrected.
Early ones were boxy and poxy, the most recent ones were actually decent cars, that went really well with the 6.4 Hemi and 8-speed combo, sounding awesome while doing it. I thought they were real bang for buck cars actually.

I would quite happily park a Crossfire SRT6 in the driveway no problems at all, the Supercharged AMG M112 3.2L V6 is a sweet engine while underneath the rest of the car is basically a SLK 32 AMG......

Might be a good time to snap up a Gen1 at a decent price.

A bloke at work was saying how mad the NSWHP 300s sound full tilt and he doesn't even give a **** about cars.
It's a bit of a problem because the ZBs and 300s are end of life or soon will be. The Stinger despite the upgrades might be short lived too. What are we gonna do for HWP after this? |

The NSW grubberment in conjunction with the epitome of capitalistic greed (Macquarie Bank) have gone all out with 150 additional mobile speed cameras, removal of warning signs, and removal of reflective identifiers as well as having a range of makes and models, all in the 'name' of safety, but with the intention of just making as much moolah from Joe Public as possible. Highway patrols might as well be made redundant (better still, just utilise them as real cops, but unfortunately, most are fat, unhealthy slobs that would die of a heart attack chasing anyone on foot)

Saw it on Friday in Surry Hills; CLM232. SRT's are costing a fortune to run and there have been long delays for parts |

This could also go well. I see Maxx Performance managed 12.4 1/4 3.4/100 without a tune on a car with 400kms. https://www.toyota.com.au/gr-yaris |
