New Chrysler 300 - CTV Contender?
#43
The V certainly isn't the best car on the planet, just the best car on the planet for $46,000. I was seriously considering a new C32 or a used E55 / M5. Glad I didn't have to settle for one of those. The V is EXACTLY what I wanted.

They are even coming out with a SRT Crossfire...that is insane!!! They are raiding the AMG parts bin now!!!

i have to say....i test drove the cts-v
i was not impressed with the power so i didnt buy it...
the car was very nice and handled very well
i also just drove the 300 c hemi
i have to admit.... and im not a dodge fan
this 300c hemi blew my mind for ONLY $ 37,000
power was nice and ride quality and comfort was incredible
yeah its no cts-v but its not a car to compare to the cts-v
im actually trying to talk my parent into getting one

300Cs are already moving around here. The local dealer is selling them (with one or two options) for $31,000 - $32,500.
Quite a bargain, but a different type of car than the CTS-V.

I applaud Chrysler for abandoning 'cab forward' styling. They also are to be commended for returning to RWD. And I must admit that in a sea of conformity they have definitely established themselves as a rebel. But it's not enough to just be different. The car is butt ugly. (yes coming from a GTO lover) Beltline too high, front fascia imposing and truck-like. It may be unique, it may be one hell of a value, but so were the AMC Pacer and the Pontiac Aztek. The HEMI is a great engine, but why does it have to come in an *** shaped box?

I thought the same of the CTS. I thought that it was the ugliest car GM made outside the Aztek. As I saw more of them, the styling grew on me, and when I saw the CTS-V at last years NY Auto Show, I was like "whoa!!!"
Personally, I think the 300C is pretty stylish in its own right, sort of a throwback gangster style car. Very cool IMO.

I always liked the styling of the CTS from the beginning. Car's styling usually doesn't grow on me. I do like one view of the 300C and that's the rear. Saw an off-white one today and a red one at the dealer. The darker the color the worse it looks. The HEMI will sell more of these cars than the styling. JMHO.
