yet another 300C thread..

Did you know this car came with an AWD option? The price quickly goes up though. I priced one with all the choice options on Edmunds and it was 42K.

Still, it's a helluva car...

Yea, the new 300C are really nice. I'll give the 425HP SRT-8 300C a look when it comes out early next year.

Be careful where you drive with a 300C. It's quickly becoming the next popular "gangsta" ride.

Maybe not in all areas, but the 300C's are selling quite well nationwide.

I like the look of the older generation Gran Prix's as well. The new ones look too much like the newer Grand Am's, and not enough like the older Prix's.

300c's are tight. But i have yet to see one black guy driving one. Some dude in a 300 C with like 3 of his boys tried to run my Trans Am, i made him look like a fool.

For now. I've already seen some on the rental car lots and that's always a bad sign. It is, after all, a Chrysler, no matter what it looks like.

Why is it be a bad sign if they offer 300's for rent, afterall Hertz offers Mercedes, BMWs, Land Rovers, Jaguars, and Volvos as rentals.

300C has been selling really well and they are not offering deals.

I just saw three Toronto Taxi cabs that were 300C's this morning. What does that say about that car?

You'll never see taxi companies using TL's in their fleets. So sad for Dodge.

300Cs (Hemi V8) or 300s (V6)?

V6....but even if you have a HEMI 300C. How would you feel if a taxi cab 300C pulled beside you? I would be so embrassed.

300 C comes with traction control system that you cant turn off . As much as i like the front i hate the back, all the designers spent all their days stylin the front but when it time came to design the rear, they flunked. Interior is crappy as well, but way better compared to most american cars in its class. I have seen a few black guys driving it around, a guy that i play pool with owns one, sits on 22" (best looking 22" i have ever seen), they make the Lowenharts on my S55 look average

That's the one thing the Damler Chrysler company like to do.... they come up with designs where... people either hate'em or love'em... One of the first cars/trucks they did that with was the last gen. of Dodge Ram trucks... the first of the "Mack" truck design. When previewed at a sneak preview show... most people surveyed were on opposite ends, which was exactly what they wanted. But the truck was a success, which got everyone's attention (Ford and Chevy).

The average person doesnt really care and the car enthusiast would see the 'C' under the 300 badge and know the deal.

IMHO, seeing a typical Crown Vic taxi doesnt make me think any more/less of the Mercury Marauder.
