What do you guys think about it Chrysler 300c . I believe it has nice styling car. In the top of the line model you have a 5.7 hemi with plenty of power for $32k +.

They have become popular real fast, but what was interesting was I after market front grill and a B with wings hood ornament. And not just one, I've seen 2 this week. I know how the BMW community frown on 'posers'. I guess it get people's attention, but doesn't make you look foolish to a real car enthusiast ?

ehhh to each his own...i saw a few on MTV Cribs, the car edition...it looks decent, it's not a Bently, but it looks decent, dont know about the B with wings though....i dont mind it, it saves you over $200k if all you liked about a Bently was its looks

If I was a mob boss, I'd totally drive one. I wonder how many bodies fit in that trunk. I bet a lot.

Those things are tanks. I'd hate to wreck into one. I mean, I'm not sure how they hold up in crash tests and everything, but they look very intimidating.

I am in the market.....(as soon as I cast away the Bangle Mobile) It will be between the 300c with the 5.7 hemi or a used G35 sedan. Got to sell my POS first though

Go for the new G35 Sedan dude. 298hp, 19" wheels, new sport suspension, etc. Really good car for the $$.

Here in L.A. we are seeing tons of them. From the front and the side, I cannot believe I am saying this about a Chrysler, but I think the 300C is pretty hot...especially when the front grill is replaced with the mesh grill. Def. Very Bentley. The back still looks like the old 300, and that was very boring, and ugly American styling.

business trip a few months back .... rental car was a 300 and honestly at first i didn't care much for it. But after driving it for a week, its a really nice car!

Interior was pretty good (even tho it was a rental, so imagine if you actually loaded it up with features) and the drive/handling was pretty smooth. I would totally buy the car if I was considering an American car and around the price. The only downside I experience in the rental was the braking ... not very good ... but then its a rental.

and the trunk .. def. can fit alot! ha

total gangster look updated. i didn't much care for it, but in a recent korean drama, one of the characters drive it. the more i see it, the more the neo-retro look grows on me.

tool fan I don't agree with this comment at all. I don't think the new 5 series is bad at all. Granted I love the E39 much much more, but I would never call the E60 a POS. It is still a very nice BMW. The key word is BMW....

When I went to repair shop in ATL, i saw a 300 that was recked, and no it is no where near as solid as i looks. This car was tore up, looked like a lot of foam padding...

Yeah, 5-Series is just an awesome car. Between a 300c and 528i, there is no doubt I would choose the 5-Series.

Yeah but you can't just judge a car's safety based on a wrecked 300 you saw, unless you know everything about the accident and you're an insurance claims agent or something.

I LOVE the E60, don't get me wrong. MINE is the key word. I have had mad issues with mine in particular. I get them resolved, but the fact that in one year my baby has been in the shop 14 times is a problem that I don't want to live with any more.[?|]
