THE 300 SERIES

Has anyone drove or sat in the 2005 300 yet? opinions on it?

Haven't even seen one, but car magazines are giving it good reviews - apparently has a lot of Mercedes suspension parts - rear differential, and with the top engine, a Mercedes auto. They say it handles well. I'm not a "big car" guy.[?]

I'm with Don, just don't care for big cars.
I haven't seen one either

I've heard it is is supposed to be a nice car, however, it only comes with "chrome-clad" wheels. For a car in this price category you would think DC would give the consumer a choice of "real wheel" options.

I saw a Road Test on the Chrysler 300 on the Speed Channel yesterday. They raved about it. I really liked the "chopped top" look. 340hp and they said it was a very smooth powerband but they could still light up the tires with the traction control off. They also said it got 18mpg city and 25 hiway because the engine ran on 4 cylinders when not under power. Chrysler rep on the show said they have a lot of new cars coming out that are performance based. I think Chrysler is finally going the right direction.[?]
