Built in Graz, Austria. It has 4wd and the top of the range has the 5.7 litre Hemi V8 Magnum engine with 340bhp and 525Nm torque. Basically itt is a luxuriously equipped version of the Dodge Magnum that R1_Nur reported having fun with a year or so ago.
Imposing bit of kit – the Rover 3-litre (P5) resemblance is less noticable in the Touring (estate) model than in the saloon.
Have to say though that, for me, a vehicle taking up this much road area and aiming to be an all-year round powerful load carrier might as well go the whole hog and be high as well to give you the load capacity. I've just done over a thousand miles in my Dodge with it happily going up to the cut-out speed (for the orig. spec. Goodyear all-year tyres – since replaced by specific higher rated winter and summer tyres) 115mph on the autobahns. I was able to get a load of furniture in without any perceptible change in performance. These Yank V8s are effortless and trouble free performers.

Don't think they do a rhd version, but it would be a unusual machine for the UK.
