Road & Track Special Edition!!!

[Vipergrün]

Anyone else receive their "special edition" of R&T today which is actually a full spread sales brochure, endorsement, and hype surrounding the new and "improved" Chrysler 300. What an ugly pimpin' piece of junk. Add some 28" spinner wheels and I predict this will rival the popularity of the Escalade as a "status" symbol.

I am really thinking hard how to tie this into a Porsche content thread....Oh, I got it, I hope I never get hit by one of these land yachts while in my Porsche

Sigh....

Well I like it - I figure it's about time Chrisler get back to it's old way of building large 4 door sedans.

[Paul Franssen]

Well, of course (here is Europe...) I've had to go Google way to find out what this "Chrysler 300" is, and upon popping up the picture...near heart attack alarm ensued!

Please stick to Porsche content, guys, you have no idea how dangerous it can be to stray from the subject!

I think it's a great looking car compared to everything else in the Chrysler sedan lineup. It reminds me of the old Lincolns with suicide doors sorta, would look good with 20" wheel in all black with the centers of the wheels paint-matched to the car.

I agree with that. Nice looking car and cheap too. Could be used as a daily driver.

I like it, along with it's cousin the Dodge Magnum - which I'd take in a heartbeat over the Cayenne (if I was in the market for a cargo hauler). Very cool. And while my true love is sixes of the inline or opposed variety, there's something to be said for a big ole thumping american V8...

my name is 60cents and i gots to havez me one of those
slap on that 29 inch platinum with diamond spinners
and 2 playstations with the 50 inch plasma screen mounted on the hood
yeah boyyyyy, tha biatches looooove it when i pull up in my G-wizz car and i pop a bottle or two of the crystal shiznit

[masraum]

Hahahah, Yep, I'd rather have a Dodge Magnum with a Viper powertrain. That would be the coolest Station Wagon ever.

There was a big article inthe Wall Street Journal about how that 300 C has major street cred because it was in a $.50 video (he's a rapper for those of you that don't know ) I think Chrysler was making some trick special editions for the hip hop crowd much like the 'Sclade PLatinum Edition (2 flat screen monitors). There was a quote about affixing Bentley medallions to the 300C. Interesting to see people talking about Chryslers. Woulda never thunk it.

BTW: Anyone got a photo of the Dodge Magnum? I've been trying to fine one (a photo).

What a true and deplorable observation of America's entertainment for our youth...I am SOOOO sick of the rappers and their obsession with sex, money, booze, killing...poor kids. What the youth of America needs is good Dad's like the one's on this board to teach them about the virtues of air cooling, boxer engine design, torque specs, and proper suspension set ups.

I threw mine in the trash without even looking at it.

Go to the dodge web site, what an ugly pig!

Sorry maus, I'm sticking with my turbo quattro avant that weighs less and doesn't lose its power up in the mountains.

[limble]

I can never think of anything nice to say about a 4-door sedan or an SUV so..,

[JonT]

I like it too except for the chrome wheels. Nice big American sedan with 330 or so hp. Probably quicker than 80% or more of the cars on this board.

I justs turned 35 on the 18th...yep, just a little. But look on the bright side, we are old enough to AFFORD having a Porsche! Beats the 1969 Bug I started with!
