I know it's got one, but have you had any Rednecks next to you ask "That thing got a Hemi?"

Shoot them on site.

Dude, very nice! I really like what Chrysler has done with the 300C. Definitely for that redesign. I really would love to see it in person. You around tomorrow? You should bring it to the AZ Massachusetts Meet (Sunday, June 12th) at Fuddruckers in Saugus, MA. It starts at 12pm.

i love everything BUT the cheap looking random wood trim.. the wood looks so out of place in that lovely interior. and if they were gonna put wood trim, do something alittle more subtle. that wood color looks so flashy and weird.. orangey redish.. i dont know

but damn, gotta love the bentley-like front and luxurious looking rear.

Yeah, I agree. The fake wood is the only thing that looks out of place. I still think Honda makes the best fake wood in the business. It REALLY looks out of place on the steering wheel though. The shift knob isn't bad. Also keep in mind if it's translucent and glossy, the flash from the camera will make it look worse than it actually is.

yeah, it really is the flash of the camera, its not as orange or shiny in real life. I really really like the wood in the camel 3rd gen TL's if you've seen em.

Congrats. But, you are only 22 years old. Be ready for the "Why are you driving your parents car" stuff.

Damn that was a good deal! All the dealerships around here won't deal on the yet


I'll pick up one of these used in like five years when they are worth 36% of their purchase price.

I'm hoping to get into one of those shortly, i test drove one last week and loved it. all they need is some 22"s and a new grill and they're tight as hell!

Yeah, 22yrs old is a tad young for a 300C...

Congrats though, I like the vehicle.

That's toirtose shell (like a pair of Ray-Bans), not faux wood. Congrats this is a much better car than the TL.

BTW Headers will add another 40- 50 hp at the wheels. It's an easy car to mod

better in some ways, inferior in others. like the Nav for instance. TL has great nav. the 300 has better acceleration and a smoother ride. so really depends on what your looking for.

I was looking at the new Dodge Charger as well.. I went with this. I like the more sophisticated look. I'm through with my ricer stage, now I want the seats to go back and the steering wheel to raise when I shut off the car.

Nice... If you're looking for a rwd v8 powered ride, the 300c is probably the best bang for the buck (nice price you negociated too).

I can't see myself in a 300 and I'm an old bastard

I also think I'm too young for a caddy too
