![http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/9254940051548240.JPG?0.19265502352294483](http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/9254940051548240.JPG?0.19265502352294483) _A Chrysler 300C Touring passed us on our trip from the airport to the hotel on Sunday, and we all rubbernecked as the wagon zoomed by. A 300C wagon? Yup, Europe’s got one and it’s basically a Magnum with a 300C front end. It’s an odd sight to those who haven’t seen it before, but it’s been a decent seller for Chrysler abroad ranking about sixth among E-segment cars with gas-powered engines. Chrysler is hoping the 300C and 300C Touring gain ground, however, with the addition this year of a 3.0L turbodiesel V6 that generates 215 hp and a class-leading 376 ft-lb of torque. The new diesel is able to propel the 300C to 62 mph in 7.9 seconds. The new motor is a welcome addition to the already robust lineup of gas-powered engines that include the company’s 5.7L Hemi V8. In a segment where diesels account for 70% of sales, however, this move was a must for Chrysler._ ![http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/3856410218675154.JPG?0.48103464969411175](http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/3856410218675154.JPG?0.48103464969411175) ![http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/3475149848315694.JPG?0.283729757564408](http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/3475149848315694.JPG?0.283729757564408) I hope we get this engine in the 300’s here. ---

rather have wagons than suvs. if you gotta haul and you don’t want a minivan, this is way better than the next “crossover sport activity luxury utility vehicle”. and 376 lb/ft :tup: ---

I like wagons just not big bulky ones, reminds me of the old caprice wagons. I do hope they bring over more turbo diesel, not just chrysler but everyone. ---

Well, what I’d really like to see is for Honda to bring some of its nice diesels here. And for Chrysler to bring over a GOOD one for the Liberty. ---
