Consumer Reports rates the 300 and 300C
This month Consumer Reports rates the 300 and the Ford 500. They point out
that the cars are worlds apart..... Chrysler was trying to build an exciting car while Ford was going for ergonomics. Guess which one got the higher rating... |

I put little to no faith in anything Consumer Reports writes about. It's a
known fact (at least by some) that some of their reporters/writers have been bought. ========= "Art" > wrote in message ink.net... > This month Consumer Reports rates the 300 and the Ford 500.

Like many others, I have little faith in CR to intelligently evaluate anything more complicated than toasters. But these really are two different cars, even if they occupy a similar size and price slot. I can't imagine a 500 being advertised being in a drag race with an expensive imported sports car. I sat in a 500, and it oozed upper-middle class style and upper-middle age comfort. I haven't ridden in one, but I have read that with the CVT they are buttery smooth. That's certainly not the image that Chrysler is trying to push. There's room for both of them in the market, and I hope they both succeed, because they are interesting cars. |

I know more people who don't trust what they say than those that do. The
"known" ones are usually the ones that can remember the news stories about them from several years ago. ================== "Matt Whiting" > wrote in message ... > CopperTop wrote: > > > I put little to no faith in anything Consumer Reports writes about.
