For the last time, the Pacifica, at 8500 units a month, is the 3rd best selling crossover in the U.S.

#580 of 4893 review... by bph74 by soozpk Feb 29, 2004 (8:44 am)
Thanks for the link, Bph74. Inadvertantly, the article answered my long lingering question as to whether the trunkwell can hold a conventional spare. The answer is probably that it cannot, as the trunkwell holding the standard compact spare is designed at an angle, which folds during a rear 50 mph impact. Thank you again.
#581 of 4893 Auto week article by dale48 Feb 29, 2004 (4:50 pm)
All in all the article was pretty positive. Regular readers tell me, are they pimping or do they really like it?   I received 3 letters from Chrysler in the last three days. I guess over the last year I told them three times I was interested in info as soon as it was available.   I happened to check the web site two weeks ago and found out I could go to a dealer and order one, so I did.   Was I supposed to wait and get a Balloon or something in late March?   By the way what's so special about the Ford 500 that they call the 300 homely?   To each his own.

"No Chrysler, not even the Town & Country extended minivan, has boasted this 120-inch wheelbase since the Imperials of 1926 through the '30s."   Auto Week evidently forgot about the fifties Chryslers. The '59 Chrysler 300E for example, had a wheelbase of 126 inches.   stephen
#583 of 4893 Here's the plan... by barneym Feb 29, 2004 (8:36 pm)
All I need is the 6.1L engine that everyone keeps asking about and then I want them to drop it into the convertible model that I hope to god is eventually coming and I will be a happy man.
#584 of 4893 Chrysler's ads..... by soozpk Feb 29, 2004 (8:44 pm)
Just got done watching the Academy Awards, hoping to see if Mopar would just give the viewing public a hint of the new 300s. Mopar ran commercials on the Chrysler and Dodge mini-vans. It was clearly evident that the persons in charge didn't view the commercial beforehand, as, at the very end, when they state you can get 0% financing and 3000 cash-back, they flash a big sign..... Offer ends Mar 1, which is tomorrow!!!!! Anyone else catch that??    I hope the 300 advertizing blitz is placed in better hands.
#585 of 4893 300 Value by fsmmcsi Mar 01, 2004 (8:18 am)
For a price in the mid $30,000 range, the 300C has the interior space of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, elevated seating for a better view of the road (and maybe more comfort), the HEMI, bigger brakes, and many fancy features such as exterior mirrors which dim at night and and dip down in reverse. I think that the combination of those kind of specifications & features at those prices is exactly what many of us "boomers" want. Most of us, even those of us who could pay it, would never, ever, spend what an S-Class (or even E-Class) costs.
#586 of 4893 Another note about size by hotrodlincoln1 Mar 01, 2004 (12:00 pm)
My '73 Chrysler Newport had a 124" wheelbase, as did all 65-78 Chrysler Sedans. Possible exception: Imperials may have been a tad more.   The overall length on that Newport was 224" The new 300 lists at 197". For a more modern comparison, a current Ford Crown Vic has a 114" wheelbase and is 212" long.   The 300 is not a big car. OTOH, I have been wondering when someone was finally going to resurect the good-performing RWD midsize.
