Default Is it just me or the Chrysler 300

... is the chrysler 300 a beautiful automobile or what?

specially the c version with the 5.7 Hemi .. i priced one on their website
and i only added 2 extra options which were the Uconnect for my cellphone
so i can talk handsfree via bluetooth and the Sliding power moonroof and it
came to about 36 grand.. leather seats.. pure luxury..

i love the darn thing.

What.

Looks like a smashed version of one of their typical ugly obnoxious trucks.

The grille is hideous, so I'd get a Magnum...

otherwise good... needs a manual trans.

Find it hilarious that the auto rags say that "America's Back" with this
car, which was penned by a guy from Montreal, it's built in Brampton,
and all this from a company based in Stuttgart! Ha ha ha!

I'm indifferent on the styling, but the inexcusable bit IMHO is that
Chrysler came up with such a mechanically nice car and didn't see fit
to offer a manual transmission. That pretty much rules it out for me.

Old men (the primary target market of that abomination) don't care to shift.

I agree. And I'm a Chrysler fan. But they're selling like hotcakes though!
Now, I actually like the look of the trucks.

Yep, this old fart's shifting days are over. With the 2-3MPH traffic EVERY
DAY for miles and miles on end on the DC beltway is what did it for me.

Probably so....plus the RWD is a hot ticket these days too. I would imagine
that the driving experience is fairly "thrilling".
