Looks good to me also... but I do have to say that looking at that front makes me want to get into the car and start ramming other cars...

Lol true, not only does it "SCREAMS don't mess with this RWD Hemi B!TCH!!!", but you actually have the hp and torque to back that bark with a nice bite :)

Major OWNAGE just unleashed on GM and Ford :D
The 300C uses rear suspension, steering, transmission and electronics from the Mercedes-Benz E-class sedan. It is deliberately big instead of cab-forward trim; is a rear-wheel-drive chassis with an all-wheel-drive option, not cab-forward's front-wheel drive; is powered by a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 instead of a 3.5-liter V-6 engine.

Expect a price around $30,000.


Now THIS is a Domestic car that I would pick over Japanese imports. Acura TL?? Puhlease. Lexus ES300?? Give me a break. Toyota Avalon/Camry? Buahaha.

300C? SCHAWING! :D

Looks to me like they ripped off the new Rolls Royce, slapped on a Chrysler grill, a VW bumper, and messed up the headlights. It's not a bad looking car, but it is far less handsome than something as uniquely American as, say, the Ford 427.

I agree that it looks a bit too RR/Bentley-ish...I guess they're not trying to stay in the vein of the current 300M, but I much prefer that look than the new one...a newly designed aggressive 300"N" with the mentioned RWD Hemi would be kick ass.

It looks both equally RR/Bently as it does the classic Chrysler 300's IMO. The huge grill is definitely classic Chrysler.

Overall I like it. Side windows, especially in the rear look a little small. Headlights look odd, wish they were placed a little more forward. I think I'd still buy a 300M today though

Methinks it resembles a Bentley with an even bigger grille. I don't like the grille that huge... a tad smaller and it'd be perfect. The open grille is nice though.
I wonder if PVO will do anything to this car? Hemis are just begging for the SRT touch... SRT-300?? :D

You should pretend for a couple minutes that you're not anti-GM. Why don't you like them anyways?

Very interesting car, nonetheless.. I wonder if the design looks too old though like the Cruiser or Prowler...
Thumbs up from me anyways!

Why don't I like them?? Their interiors are sh!t and their cars looks like sh!t. The only good looking GM cars were the Oldsmobiles (Aurora, Intrigue, Alero), but they ditched them!! :|

Cavalier <-- Cavalier my ass...more like subpar in every way
Impala <-- not even worthy of wearing the nameplate
Malibu <-- Rental car fever
Monte Carlo <-- stoopid ugly
Grand Am <-- ribbed for her pleasure
Rendevous <-- Aztek on Prozac
Aztek <-- laughing stock of the auto industry
Sunfire <-- how ugly can you get

They are all ugly as sin. And neither one of them has an interior that competes with anything else in its class. The only reason to buy them is b/c GM offers steep discounts.
