#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.

so dealers should get them sometime in late april?
#641 of 4893 Dealer called me by smitty by soozpk Mar 07, 2004 (11:22 am)
That's pretty much the line I got, however the dealer didn't have an actual date. I was just simply told my car was being held until Chrysler starts the advertizing blitz on this vehicle. Still makes no sense to me, as I keep saying, "What better advertizing can Chrysler get, than have their vehicles running up and down the streets"???
#642 of 4893 Ad Blitz by fsmmcsi Mar 07, 2004 (2:05 pm)
The ad blitz is a good idea, especially if they have an assortment of the various models, so that when people go to a dealer there are several, not just one or two, cars to view and drive. Of course, I understand that everyone with an order is anxious. Waiting also gives D-C time to identify and correct flaws before the big introduction.   It sounds like the AWD 300 will come out in the Fall, good timing by D-C, as it is the same time as the introduction of the Ford Five Hundred / Mercury Montego, making the AWD option less of a special feature for Ford.
#643 of 4893 new 300 by dgepley Mar 07, 2004 (9:30 pm)
I am sorry if you are excited about this car, I could care less if it came with 2 hemi engines, it is just hideous. I thought the Pontiac Aztec was as bad as it could get, but the new 300 made me change my mind. Its the new edsel.   It looks like a mac truck made into a car then put on steroids.   You want to see style look at the new Buick Lacrosse, now that is a great looking car.

The Olds Aurora was a very nicely designed car, but even that didn't help Olds in the end.
#645 of 4893 timing of release by bigmike5 Mar 08, 2004 (7:44 am)
I find it interesting if Apr 21 is the release date on the 300C. That coincides with a big coming-out party being thrown down at the Corvette plant and Museum in Bowling Green, 22-24 April for the new C-6 Corvette convertible [just previewed in Geneva]. Supposed to be a big bash, but I can't get there on that day as I have a day of training in L-ville. Maybe that is a big spring weekend for new cars?
#646 of 4893 timing of release by soozpk Mar 08, 2004 (10:04 am)
By that token, one could then assume that 300s would "have to" be in-place by that date. They do need something to show. One other interesting note, my dealership has said all they are planning to order are Hemi C's, and if anyone wants the lower-end vehicles they'll be special ordered. Which then brings me to another question to ponder over. For those of us that already ordered our 300's at a set price, shouldn't we be able to take any "introductory" incentives that may be available at the time of release?? As long as the discount is coming from Mopar, and not out of the dealer's pocket, I can't see why our purchase price can't be adjusted. Any ideas???
