I went to the "party" tonight. I was gonna get to drive the 300C but they were backed up for hours. I'll get to it sometime. I did finally see the engine. Wow, what a hoss (sp?). Can't wait to drive it

 

When you do you will absolutely love it, if you like lots of torque, power and comfort-not to mention aggressive good looks.

Got my VIN today. Said the car will be in the 2nd week of May. Very excited.

 

I'll tell ya what I would want.....a 300C wagon. I know they will offer this in Europe, but I'd want a few changes.

Basically a Magnum RT (in Graphite) with a 300 front clip (no chrome)....but NOT with the 300C lights but the square lights on the standard 300 model. Somehow I think the square lights would fit the "lead-sled" look of the wagon better.

THEN remove the eggcrate grill and replace it with a stainless mesh (ala Jaguar S-Type R).

THEN replace the wheels with the Crossfire's 19 inchers.

Also I'd prefer the 300C's interior with the tortoise shell and pale leather.

Someone wanna photoshop that!?

I took delivery of a Black 300C Wed. night. What a tuff car to find. I was dead set on getting into one ASAP and had to drive 40 miles outside of Indianapolis to find one that was load. Seems there's a real demand for the sun roof.

I can't express how much I love this car. It rides like a dream and will pin you back to your seat when you floor like. The power seems to always be on tap.

Great car!

PS I too think there�fs some Bentley in the design.

 

Sounds like you are discribing the Dodge Magnum.

 

Congrats man. I took a short test drive of a 300c while I was picking up my Xfire last weekend. Sweet!! I want to pile some more miles on the 300m, then I might make a run at a 300c.

 

I said that in my post.

I'm just saying a cool combo of the 300 and the Magnum would hit the spot.

Personally I think the Magnum needs projector beam headlights similar to the Magnum concept.

I'm with you on that one, however they are trying to make Chrysler brand stand out from the other brands DCX holds. Chrysler will have more luxuary options, such as HID projection, were as Dodge will have the power and not so luxuary items, standard head lamps.

If it is the same headlamp design, you could easily swap out the parts.

 

If that was truly the case, Crossfire would have HID's, eh? Or at least available as on option. Has anyone heard of the SRT-6 will offer HID (can somebody say 'retrofit kit')?

 

SLK didn't have it so the Crossfire wasn't going to have it. Just be lucky we have projectors. We could have gotten stuck with those milky SLK headlamps.

 

actually you don't have to photoshop it. There is the 300C Touring coming out.....but only in Europe

Oh, whoops. I guess I should read the entire post before responding. Sorry Wonderdallas.
