Watched a program this weekend, and they where testing the new 300 C. Both drivers loved the car, stating how well it was balanced and the use of Eclass components transmisiion, multi-link rear suspension and more. With the V8 hemi its priced around $37,000

I think the current 300C looks pretty good but there is no way I would ever pay 37K for a Chrysler (excepting the Viper, of course )

Read someplace that the 300C uses a lot of the W211 under-the-skin body structure. If so, too bad that D-C didn't use more of the W211's skin as well. Styling is a matter of taste, but to me the 300C is a collection of Tonka Toy styling cliches aimed at guys who really wanted a Dodge Ram, but who got vetoed by their wives on the Tonka Truck idea.

Can you say 'hammy'?
