Pic of the Chrysler 300C

Hey GuionM is this what you meant with "love it or hate it styling"?

http://car.kak.net/bilder/chrysler/c...concept01s.jpg

it's ok although it kind of reminds me of the chronos concept from a while back. I guess I was looking/expecting a more swooping design ala the current gen. now it looks more like a big sedan (rolls royce) and too heavy to get out of it's own way.. Good thing it's got the HEMI...

Anyways did not see it posted anywhere but I thought I would post the link.

WTF?? Everyone, go pick up a copy of MT or C&D from a few months ago. Look for a Chrysler ad. THAT CAR is in them, MONTHS ago!

Mervz I Could be mistaken about the pic since no one really wants to show anything till Wednesday (tomorrow) this pic was something I came across from a Euro Mag site. just thought it was accurate and was kind of asking if it was the same one the GuionM was talking about.... sorry bout the confusion if it was not the 300C

I kind of like it from the front door back. The front end is much too blocky though. Weird.

You mean 300N, right?

300C was around 58 I believe.

Other than the dramatically oversized rims, larger than the 18 inchers the production car will have, this would seem to be fairly representative of the production 300C. The windowlines and body contours match the upcoming Dodge Magnum wagon, and the front clip matches the drawing that have been circulating for the last couple years. It's genuine.

As far as liking the 300C, I'm luke warm. I never was a 300M fan, so to me its an improvement. It sure looks massive, but that's ok in my book.

The LX car that we should be waiting for is the Charger, due some time after the 300 and Magnum. It won't look anything like the flagship sedan or wagon. I've hear it will be more like the 1999 Charger concept. I can't wait to see what it'll look like.

Unfortunately, Car-truck.com seems to be offline. What's the heps?

You're confusing this with the Chronos, perhaps? That car was actually out years ago.

I like it, looks mean but not lean. If it comes in at 3800lbs its ok in my book. Give it a 400hp hemi and the CTSV might have a challenger!

And so do my pugs, but I still like them.

Did I mention I like the car?

I figured the pics would come out before the embargoed pictures would.

It's powered by a 345hp Hemi V8.

I owned a 2000 300M and it was a very nice ride. This could be quite a car!
