You're not alone. I'm not a big fan of the 300, nor this SRT version. I've seen 300C's on the street... they just look plain weird to me. NO trunk... too boxy overall. The SRT8 has nothing to fix the basic aesthetic flaws. And the over-large bling-bling wheels aren't helping either.... Foo. I'd take a CTS-V over this any day.

 

I would love to have a SRT-8 300. I have a family, yet still desire a V8 with RWD. With baby seats, a four door is better at justifying to the wife. She refused to let me have a GTO, but she can't say **** about a 300. I prefer Dodge's styling, so I will wait for a Charger SRT8.

 

Man, I'm with ya there brother! I just don't understand why everyone is creaming their panties over that fugmobile!

Oh well, to each his own...

 

Because "that thangs got a Hemi". DC has marketed the new Hemi extremely well and hyped it to death. So much so that they could put a Hemi in a turd and people will buy it.

The Magnum I can accept, even if it is a station wagon. The 300C is just plain ugly IMO. If I wanted a big RWD 4-door V8 sedan, Cadillac has a much sexier option IMO.

 

At a little under 20K more. What do the new STS's go for. You get more power with the 300C than the STS's for a lot less money. People usually dont cross shop cars with 20k difference in MSRP.

 

Who cares if it has more power if it looks like ****? 95% of the time power isn't even going to matter. Styling, looks and comfort does.

Had a funny experience with my mom the other day... I was outside helping her move some things to the garage and we saw a 300C go by. I asked her if she liked it and she just replied "It looks Wierd! " Later we saw a Magnum go by and she literally dropped what she was doing and just watched it pass by And to think...she just spent $18K on a new Taurus when she coulda had that

 

Not to burst your bubble but the media finds the 300c attractive while they really dont care to much for the "new edge" Caddy styling. Looks are in the eye of the beholder and many people prefer the 300C.

 

A lot of people like the high beltline of the LXs, myself included. The only thing I don't like is the grille, and the truncated rear end. I would have a 300C if not for these two things. That is why I am waiting for a Charger SRT8.

 

I'm with you...I think it got smacked around with the ugly stick.

 

You're not bursting my bubble. I could give a ratsass if the media finds the 300C attractive. I don't.

The C6 is attractive. The CTS; attractive. Heck even the 2005 Mustang is attractive. The 300C is one fugly automobile IMO. Am I in the minority? Who cares? I know for a fact that I'll never be buying one.

 

Media Schmedia...

All of the folks that I've been around when a 300 went by say it's "weird" or a "fake Bentley." It's my opinion that those who have rushed out to buy one are the folks that are in to fads...

 

Well, can't really say that the 300 is pretty...as in Ferrari 355 pretty...but it's got something seductive about it.

 

Bring on the Charger SRT8.
