#629 of 4893 car review by bigmike5 Mar 05, 2004 (10:18 am)
Just remember as the reviewer waxes effusively over the new 300 [which got an overwhelmingly negative initial reaction from 300M owners both here and at the Club site] that the car is made in his country, and the success of that car and the Magnum are real important to the Canadian economy. Handles better than a Caddy? Like comparing apples and oranges. My 300M rides distinctively different that my wife's Eldo, because it is a "luxury sports sedan" feel and hers has the luxury ride feel. The new Caddy's with the Magnetic Selective Ride [that the Vette's came out with last year] should be way quieter and smoother, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion on ride quality I guess.

2,000 cars built this week! 7600 so far, and not a car to be found on a dealer's lot.
#631 of 4893 Looks like................ by fastdriver Mar 05, 2004 (6:52 pm)
the Detroit FreePress likes the car too. I have to agree with bigmike5 above. I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading that Canadian review. Time will tell how good this "flagship" car turns out.   http://www.freep.com/money/autoreviews/3004_20040304.htm   fastdriver

You wrote in 300 sightings "The first was a Satin Jade heading...". How did the color look? I ordered the Satin Jade 3 weeks ago and only had a tiny paint sample to go by. Please tell me it looked good.
#633 of 4893 Satin Jade Pearl Coat by morseland Mar 06, 2004 (8:57 am)
I wonder if the Satin Jade on the new 300c would be the same color as was on the Pacifica. I was thinking of replacing my 300M with the Pacifica but I now waiting for the 300C. The Satin Jade was my favorite color for the Pacifica and reminds me of my dad's 1965 New Yorker that was a beautiful soft metallic green.

I believe you are correct. When I ordered my car the dealer said the color was on other new models but they had none on the lot. Glad you like the color, hope I do too.

Is it only the hemi that will have the engine cylinder management feature of cutting out 2 or 4 cylinders if not needed?   I'm getting psyched by the reviews starting to show up and am getting anxious to actually do a touchy feely on one of these 300's.. It might be a worthy successor to my aging MB E320...
#637 of 4893 On Articles and Reviews by soozpk Mar 07, 2004 (2:18 am)
Just my view on the various articles / reviews that have been / will be coming out on the 300 series. I've been a long time subscriber to both Motor Trend and Car & Driver, and never can I remember an article ever recommeding it's readership, "Don't buy this car, it stinks". They are very carefull in what they write, just touching upon a vehicle's weakness, certainly not dwelling on it. They do this so as not to chase away the advertizing revenue. On the other side of the coin are the free lancers / independents who write articles for newspapers and secondary market type magazines that can offer input from a layman's perspective, but that weakness shows in their lack of depth on the vehicle they're trying to write about. Remember, every car has it's quirks, and the 300 will be no different.

Yes this will be the same color as the Pacifica
