People that are all "anti RWD" are thinking that the LX cars will be like the old 1970's Fairmonts, Chevettes, and Volares. Those had skinny tires, open rear ends, poor weight distribution, and no traction control.

They had two 300s there. A base or a Touring I guess (no chrome) on a platform but I didn't pay it any attention because they had a C on the floor to play with. Visibility seemed ok to me. The LH car aren't exactly great themselves when it comes to this. I liked it more when I first saw pics but I'm still intrigued. Everyone in my group felt the Maxima (another potential replacement for my M) looked better.   They had a shiney black LaCrosse there. It didn't look bad. I mean...for a Buick.

I wouldnt say the Lacrosse's interior is worse than the 300 or any other chrysler for that matter. It may not be an all around performance sedan like the 300C but its a nice looking family car IMHO. I'm sure the 240hp model will be faster than the V6 300s. I do applaud Chrysler for the 300 but I am not crazy about the upright styling. I like the inside better than the outside. I dont like cars that have poor door to window ratios. The beltline on the 300 is too high if you ask me.

Automotive News has a story today stating that next year (2006) Dodge will produce an LX platform (300 and Dodge Magnum)car with styling based on 1960's Chargers.

That car show in RI -- must have been in 2002? I think that's when they were showing the Hemi C. As I said, I didn't have any problem with "controlled viewing only" because it was a concept car and they wanted to keep it in top show condition. Same with the Chronos (what a car!).   But they have already made how many thousand of the 300's? That's what irked me. It irks me even more that you were allowed to sit in the 300C at the Detroit auto show.   So what were the attendees at the Ontario show -- chopped liver? I guess I just never thought of Detroit as having a higher class of clientel...

I suspect that the two 300's were on the floor at Detroit for people to get into and make comments that could be picked up with listening devices. Then the factory would have a better idea of how many cars to push into the pipeline for the introduction and how much advertising funding might be justified.   stephen

You're probably right. They are more likely to get objective feedback from a major show like Detroit's.   Ontario, CA isn't exactly a hotbed of sophistication for car-buying trends -- except maybe for pickups...

intrepidspirit-   Sorry. I didn't mean that Gray, convertible BEAUTY that they SHOULD have built. I was talking about the new "tank" 300!   http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/fastdriver2_99/album?.tok=ph7USx- AB_41Ep1He&.dir=/d09e&.src=ph   I cannot believe that they went from that convertible beauty to this new thing. Then again, the convertible was shown when it was the REAL Chrysler Corp. if I remember correctly.   fastdriver
