Default 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.

my first impression on sitting in the driver's seat of
the 300 was that i was in a submarine. rarely do the A pillars
create blind spots. this time they sure do. and all the finish
looked cheap. plastic. on the good side, ride was firm
and comfortable.

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.

Well that is certainly solid data to hang your hat on.
