#68 of 4893 New England Auto Show??? by bmorisette Nov 02, 2003 (8:26 am)
Hey Rusty104 - Did you get a chance to go to the NE Auto Show this weekend and did they have the 300C there? I was debating going to the show but I didn't see any press stating that the 300C would be there so I wasn't going to bother. Please let me know.   Thanks!
#69 of 4893 Nevermind by bmorisette Nov 02, 2003 (8:34 am)
I just answered my own question. According to this website (http://www.paragonexpo.com/newengland/2features.htm) the 300C Concept car will be there.   Thanks!

DC pulled the 30-0C from the show at the last minute. No one at my dealership or at the show knew why.
#71 of 4893 Just saw a BUNCH of the 300c and Magnums on a Trailer by shulaj Nov 08, 2003 (6:17 am)
Was on the HWY 401 near London heading down to Windsor or the USA. The nameplates were all taped up, but it was on an open trailer. They looked like they had massive chrome rims....at least 18". Anyhow, the wagon was red. Nice.
#72 of 4893 300M - Here is reality - and My opinion of course.. by shulaj Nov 08, 2003 (6:44 am)
I was 34 when I bought my White 300M. People said "nice car"...and it was. But if you like that car for anything else but looks...you must never have driven an Audi A6 4.2 Or a good Mercedes? Sure it was a great looking car, but fake wood can look like wood....but IT IS NOT WOOD.   I owned it for 12 months...and I loved it...for the looks, but it was terrible to drive. Too much road noise reverberating through the cabin. I was a JOKE car, just an Intrepid with a more powerful jnk engine, with a dumb excuse for a slap-stick.   I honestly brought it back to the dealership and PAID $1000 to get out of the lease. And I TOLD THEM it was a crap "drivers" car.   There was zero quality problems, but you cannot make a world class car or a great handling car with parts that are not engineered to be world class. That 300M wasn't, and the 300C hopefully will be much better. However, since that time I also bought a Jeep Liberty (which is great for the $$) and a Jeep Grand (which is the biggest pile of crap I've ever owned), so I think I am completely finished forever with Chrysler crap. I WOULD buy a Mercedes though.

whatever   most reviews were very pleased with 300M's handling capabilities.

So the Liberty is better than the Grand? The Liberty is a poor excuse of a replacement for the Cherokee, which it was to replace. Jeep, other than its Wrangler is moving away from true off road capable vehicles in favor of plusher street 4x4's. I find this to be the fault of DC as the only off roader they have ever made that was worth its salt was the UniMog. And you "think" the C will be better than the M even though you have nothing to base that on other than your own personal bias and preceptions? Is the C going to be better cause the Gremans got their hands in the making of it? So far that has not been shown to be true with the Crossfire. I think my M is a fine car, it handles nicely, gets up and moves when I need it to, it has given me 70K trouble free miles in just shy of 3 years. I'm on my third set of tires, second set of rotors, one tranny filter fluid change and nothing more than normal oil changes. My In-Laws have owned a few benz's and they spent more time in the shop than on the road, it was always something wrong or it needed maintenance. My Mother-in-law now drives a luxo/phg 300M and my father-in-law a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both could not be happier.

Great review from someone who actually owned one. I heard several people say it felt more like a large Dodge Neon than the flagship of the corporation.   Road noise is something Chrysler has dropped the ball on. The first LH cars were awful. GM did this when the Wbody cars were introduced in '97. In 2001 the entire mid size line got additional fender liners to help ameliorate it.

shulaj - those cars were on there way to CTC( chrysler tech center )in Detroit for evaluation .They are the first batch of cars 3-4 a day being built at the Brampton plant.

there is a lot of distance to go between a Neon and a 300M.
