#12 of 4893 LX pricing by jackdev73 Aug 28, 2003 (1:18 pm)
I have a feeling that Chrysler wont totally abandon their current customers in their effort to move up the price ladder. I believe there will be a 300 model, possibly the base 300 with the 2.7 in the hight 20s to around 30 with the Touring model with the 3.5 in the low to mid 30s. Just a guess and I hope I am right. Any firm answers when the first cars will arrive in showrooms? I would order one without driving it at this point. The anticipation is killing me.

#13 of 4893 solid doors on 300C by joelc Sep 01, 2003 (8:15 pm)
I hope DaimlerChrysler will figure out a way to make the doors slam solid on the new 300C. The Concord Limited and 300M sound tinny for 30+ K dollar cars. Maybe they could buy doors from Buick. It is a great looking car, read in Motor Trend it would be around $35,000.
#14 of 4893 To each his/her own when it comes to styling... by csandste Sep 02, 2003 (2:15 pm)
Although cab forward may be form over function this thing looks too bottom heavy for my eye. Funny because almost all German cars whether VW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi or BMW are very attractively styled. Is this some kind of German revenge because of Iraq?

I don't know what you are talking about. My 300Ms doors closed with a very solid thunk.   I think you are referring to some other cars.

#17 of 4893 Chrysler 300C and Pacifca by oedipus1608 Sep 08, 2003 (5:25 pm)
When the Pacifica was first went on sale, bad marketing and high end only models at the dealership caused slow sales. However, dealers never discounted the Pacifica to the 25-26k range. Sales of the Pacifica quickly increased and it now approaching its projected level of sales. Chrysler has said that they have learned from their mistakes with the Pacifica. The hemi powered 300C will have a base price of 35k and will probably escalate with options to over 40k. The 3.5 liter engine will base engine. The 2.7 will not be offered.
#18 of 4893 Just a commentary...... by soozpk Sep 09, 2003 (4:09 am)
I sent this commentary to AllPar.com to post, but I don't think it ever was, so I'll do it here. As a prospective buyer of a new 300C, (Brampon will begin to build them the second week of Jan 04), I have to say I have mixed feelings about it at this point in time. I had been at my local dealership getting my '94 Lebaron Landau repaired, when I popped my nose into the showroom. There was a Pacifica there, listed at $35,000 (US). Okay, I got in, and my first impression was not the layout, or comfort, but how cheap the blue pvc plastic made the interior. Get this, NO woodgrain, whatsoever. I have LOTS of woodgrain on my Lebaron dash, AND, of course, that's just plastic. At 35,000 bucks, one must have some perception of luxury, so toss in the woodgrain, at least. From the pics of the 300C's interior that I've seen, the dash is also pretty much devoid of woodgrain also. Which brings me to another possible problem. The 300C concept car has two different sized tires (wider on rear) and I believe as does the production CrossFire. I do hope I'm wrong in this regard, as surely there's no room in the trunk for two different sized tires. What size does the Crossfire come with????? Again, I hope I'm wrong on this.

Regarding the Pacifica, exactly what "blue pvc plastic" are you talking about? There is a fair amount of realistic woodgrain trim in the Pacifica, but no blue PVC that I know of. When I bought my Chrysler, there was a thin plastic "static cling" film over the woodgrain to protect it from scratches before delivery to buyers. If I remember correctly, it had a blue tint to it. Perhaps this is what you're thinking of? If so, it peels right off. Here is a picture of the Pacifica interior for reference. Notice the wood trim across the dash and door:   http://wwwsg.daimlerchrysler.com/GMS/CONTENT/IMAGES/555233c2004_0- 32-h__mid.jpg   Thus far, we've only seen interior pictures of the 300C concept, not the production version. If you've seen the interior of the Pacifica concept, you'll recall that it had no wood trim at all. Perhaps Chrysler will add more wood trim to the production version of the 300C as they did with the Pacifica. While I'm not sure about the tire sizes of the 300C concept, I'm almost positive that the production version will have the same size tires front and rear so that the spare can be used on either end. The production Crossfire has 19" tires in the rear and 18" tires in the front, but no spare tire at all in an effort to conserve cargo space. In place of a spare, there is a seal kit and air compressor tucked away into the trunk. Several BMW and Mercedes models use similar systems.

can I have what you smoke?
#21 of 4893 Commentary by soozpk Sep 10, 2003 (3:54 am)
Thanks for the info, and of course the pic, but the Pacifica that I was in was devoid of ANY wood trim. The interior was a light blue, and the dash was done in blue plastic, again, the "plain-jane-ness" of that is what caught my attention. Evidently, there must be different trim packages available. Also, thanks for your input on the CrossFire's tire (or lack of) ammenities. Not having a spare in below-zero weather would certainly be a factor in buying one or not.
