but then again it's not a "masa" car.

you'll notice that the entry-level cars cost the same here and the US (e.g. mazda3 starts at $14k and goes to $20k for the 2.3L AWD hatch). but the higher-end cars ang laki ng gap.

sa ganung presyo, i can see people in the 2M executive car range still going for a Bimmer.

Well, I think the 300C is actually priced decently especially with the options included. You also have to understand the higher importation costs here and the small size of our car market.

Its a very beautiful car but its not me so I guess I'd probably go for a smaller Bimmer with similar pricing though (I remember the 300C was compared with a 320 in a local mag)

Here's the sporty 425hp 300C SRT-8!

0-60mph in 4.9sec, top speed 165 mph(265 km/h) electronically limited.

ang mura naman ng car sa states, sa UK doble ang presyo nito.

ganda talaga ng 300C.... 300C na black then HEMI V8 then 22 inchers na chrome???!!! -----> mafia man!

mbt is right, 2.5M for an E-class equivalent (well, suspension and gearbox) where an E-class is 4M.. ok na nga yun. frightful gas guzzler nga lang siguro.. but probably no worse than an exped.

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

**orly_andico** · February 3rd, 2006 11:12 AM

2.5M pala ang 320? the 120i comes in at a whopping 2M (bad deal IMO for something that looks like a mazda3).

If I had 3M to spare, I'd get the V8 in a heartbeat. Bentley grill na lang tsaka 22" rims!

drove the 5.7 v8 version. didn't like it. $8,000 pa yung discount na ino-offer nila in late 2005. but i am partial to sweet-handling cars over just raw power alone.

also, beyond the fact that they are roughly the same size, there is no way these cars compare to an e-class or 5-series. more like competition for the ford five hundred or acura TL

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.
