You are in the Chrysler 300/300C/300C SRT-8 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens

"I'm in Arizona, my car is in Ontario. 2300 miles. Can I just come get it?" Yes. Just pick a number from 1 to 5500. If you guess the right number, you can have your car early. |

| According to the Detroit News sales are set to begin in late April. They also have a review in todays paper. Should be online by tomorrow. | |

tibbune, that's interesting about shipping vehicles on trains. when i ordered a '96 intrepid it was shipped via rail to minneapolis...then trucked to where i live. i wonder if det news has that screwed up?? especially since the intrepid was built in the same factory that the 300 and magnum are being built in. |

Another excellent review (it is on the front web page today, 3/3)! Given the range from the base model to the 300C, it will be interesting to see if the car magazines and web sites correctly realize that they need to test the different 300 models against the cars each version of 300 competes with, based on both size and price. |
|
| Unfortunately, if past performance is any indication, the magazines will concentrate on the 300C and ignor the others. This would be unfortunate. As an example, all of the magazines have reviewed the SRX, but I've never seen a review of the V6 version, even though, apparently, it outsells the V8. | |

soozpk- I think Pat_HOST hit the nail on the head. Just keep typing in the message window here without hitting return at the end of the line. I always use Netscape too, but your messages were the only ones that looked that way. This is how I saw them: "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,....." Your message after Pat's explanation is okay except for one line. fastdriver |

For what it's worth, I called the local Chrysler dealership here in Minneapolis, and was told that they are expecting the 300s to come in about March 15th. They had a list of what's coming in. We do have a car show happening right about then, so don't know if they are getting them a little faster because of that. If you ask me, we will all pretty much be able to take a drive in one within the next two-three weeks. P.S.-The local Dodge dealership said they are expecting the Dodge Magnums to arrive around the end of April. Go figure. |

| I am really interested in the 300c. I have not been a fan of DCX because of questionable build quality. However, two years ago I bought a PT Cruiser (I did not want a car that look like all the others) and have been very impressed. No problems. The question I have is why is DCX and Honda (we also have a 04 Pilot) building in Canada? Are they getting great tax incentives? Is it NAFTA? Cheaper labor? I can understand Mexico - cheap labor - but not Canada. | |

robaltima1, the factory where the 300 is produced used to be owned by AMC...chrysler inherited it when they bought out AMC. |
|
| Don't have any reservations about the Canadian build quality. They are as good as it gets. In fact, Chrysler has long-enjoyed a good relationship with Canadian buyers. It's a very popular brand up there. I had the same reservations when I ordered my '94 Lebaron. That was built down in Toluca Mexico, but that has held up very well. | |
