chrysler 300c

The E-Class and the 5 series is more refined. But based on looks alone, the 300C would whoop them both (at least here in the Phils.). And I believe if you get the V8 version, you'd beat the other two in a straight line.

yup, and the Ford Mustang would whoop the Infiniti G35, BMW 3-series, and Benz C-class also. still doesn't make it a worthy competitor to any of those cars.

i only care about its looks, all others i couldnt care less :D

[theveed]

Same here, with a car like that, tapos sa pinas, I wouldn't be able to throw it around curves or anything anyway...

Sweet Chariot Stop and Let Me Ride....

:D

Is a goons option available at the dealership? Make's me wanna feel I'm the Godfather plying our roads. I want one in black. But I'm sure it isn't sporty to drive with that chunk of mass and American pillowy suspension and flimsy brakes.

Seriously, this is special in its class because it's cheap, but it will be nowhere near Benz S-Class, or an E-Class for that mater.

I agree wid ya bro... I LoVe my 2005 E500 4Matic & Coming soon 2007 S-Class

the 300c is hardly in the same *price class* as the E-class, much less the S-class.
i think that's what makes it "interesting" even to americans. you get 80% of an E-class at 70% of the price (dito, more like at 60% of the price). i think it's pretty much no argument the E-class or 5-series bimmer is a better car.

but the 300/300c competes on price with the Infiniti G35 and Nissan Maxima (and even the Mazda6/Accord! at least in the US, if you compare the base 300 with the top-end Mazda6 or Accord). not the Merc E class.

In Asia, if you wanted to get something with E-class underpinnings, you'd have to get the Ssangyong Chairman and Ssangyong Rodius/Stavic. Both of which are based on the earlier W124 E-Class platform.

Sa Sunshine Motors may Chairman pero rebadged as 500SE. hehehe. Ok na din.

Hehe, ayus no Otep...

Hehehe. Bakit kaya mahilig dumikit ang Mercedes Benz sa mga companies know for their not-so excellent build qualities. Ssangyong, Chrysler, etc.

[theveed]

The lure of the three-pointed star hehe.

Don't you just loving it?!

[GlennSter]

when this first came out..i thought i was dreaming...hehehehe..i love the porma..i dont know the performance..mejo nasabihan siya ni jeremy clarkson ng masama eh...but you know si jeremy...

[theveed]

I certainly would be expecting a caddy like feel hehe, after all, it's a big american car, it wouldn't drive better than, let's say an expedition or something, floaty, dead steering and suspension is a given, but with this car... it's all about the presence hehe... lupet eh.

[niky]

Well, if you take it as it is.... you're buying limo power and size for the price of a premium compact.

Who cares how cheap it is inside compared to a Merc or a Bimmer? It's still big and cushy. And the comic book hero looks are certain to draw stares, even from the jaded rich in their techno-riffic (but ungainly) BMWs.

But I prefer small cars, too... I'd definitely buy an S60 T5 over one of these... but that's just me.

[BlueBimmer]

kung may 0% promo lang to :D will probably happen when hell freezes over hehe

[acidboy]

sana mababa resale value nito sa 2nd hand market, para makabili ako down the road.

[Mguy]

if i had 2.5M, this would be sitting in my garage right now :D

if I had 2.5M, I'll buy a house with a garage!!

[seonadancing]

With 2.5M I'll take a C-Class Merc or a BMW 3 series M-Sport. If i had an extra 5M then i'll take one of this and the other one that i didn't buy with my first 2.5M =).

[mbt]

well, in the states, the 300C may be less attractive since there are other, perhaps better choices that sell for similar money.

but here in the phils, the 300C definitely competes as a luxury car in the luxury segment, and it plays with a relative price advantage. fully-loaded versions lang yung binebenta dito, since it wouldn't make sense to sell a base version (the price would still be well in the luxury range anyway)
