#594 of 4893 Re: Production by 99zero Mar 01, 2004 (7:59 pm)
Until recently I have seen 300s under test here in Los Angeles painted in dark gray primer. Now I am seeing them around painted in actual colors - still with manufacturer plates. So it looks like they are ramping up production.   Although the styling is not for me, the concept is intriguing and I will be interested to see how they sell. DCX would be wise to do a better job of adverting the 300 than they have the Pacifica, especially at launch.

It shouldn't be any worse than any other RWD vehicle you may have owned. If all you've owned are FWD, then you'll see a difference. Actually, one only gets into stability problems with RWD when one doesn't take into consideration the weather and road conditions, and try to drive like it's a nice sunny day in July. I see that all the time. We have main drags here that are 40 mph, and even in icey conditions, people are going 40+, ...........until they realize the light is ready to change. It's quite entertaining.   Sorry, I don't see that article posted anywhere else on the net, Bph74. However, i did come across this one.   http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/040206/def023_1.html   Enjoy !

I actually have a Lexus IS300 which is rwd...put Michelin Pilot Alpins on it and it did great in the snow...was just interested in reading the article.   Thanks for posting the article...was very interesting.   Brad

When will the 300 be arriving at dealerships?

Funny you should ask...I don't know if this is any indication, but I just saw a trailer hauling a bunch of Chryslers as if delivering to a dealership. On it were convertible PT cruiser's, a 300M and a 300C! Just drove past my window at work today (in Hollywood, CA).

soozpk-   How come your messages don't print all the way across the page? Do you purposely type them that way? Just curious.    ipoddin-   Some people won't be happy to hear that a 300C was on the truck when they were told that they are all in a quonsit hut in Canada until next month!   fastdriver
#600 of 4893 300C in SoCal - For R&T Testing?? by fsmmcsi Mar 02, 2004 (11:59 am)
Since Road & Track is based in southern California, I wonder if the 300C on the car hauler is for them? The magazines will need cars for their full test drives. As understand it, they only had them for several hours in Palm Springs.

Both Road & Track and Motor Trend are here in SoCal. The Motor Trend offices are not too far from Hollywood.

I also saw another 300c driving on the streets of Burbank yesterday. This wasn't one of those "masked" out models but what looked like an actual production model. It was silver, and quite dirty.

Wow! This forum is jumping almost like the 300M forum did in its prime! And nobody even owns one yet!   It'll be interesting to see what happens when they are actually out on the market...   A comment on Chrysler marketing strategy -- one thing that has not changed since the merger is Chrysler's inept marketing for a new product. The 300M came on with no fanfare in 1998, became Car & Driver's car of the year for '99 (again no hype) and has now lived its full life cycle as one of the best kept secrets in the automotive industry!   They may do a better job on the new 300 if they start to get their act together NOW. They have more at stake here -- this is make it or break it time for Chrysler...
