Ive kept this a secret for a very long time.. Have admired them since the day they were designed and released.. Love the high door line and the low flat roof line.. That evokes memories of chooed hot rods.. love the big wheel arches and the fact 22's-24's are a cinch..
I love the chrome.. the unashamedly bold design and the fact they stand out from the competition.. YES the 300C Here are a collection of my fave photo's.. What do others like OTHER than the blue oval badge? I would choose a 300C over most luxary makes and models.. So Whats your DIRTY LITTLE SECRET?      |

I like them too. I'll get a black v8 one as my next car. 20 inch rims are good enough for me.
Very cool car |

Ditch the blinga bling rapper wheels and they look great. Dinner plate chromies scream loser and besides, they look great with the stock wheels. I'd take one in black any day of the week.

They weigh about 2 tons and get to 100 in just over 5 seconds. Pretty quick. Just don't expect them to handle corners perfectly.

Love the look of the 300 in profile, shame about the front and rear end.
Always made it a none starter for me. |

hulk_ef as a fellow hulk we are in agreement.
The chrysler 300c shits all over the statesman and ford had to pack up making the fairlane because of it. My only critique of the 300c is its not exclusive enough, even a bum can buy one. The wedding industry love em, why spend $180k when for $64990 you can get a car people want for weddings, charge em the same too |

Yep I want me an SRT-8 Touring! Which is fine since I'll be driving it and not sitting in the back as my head touches the roof the roofline is so low.
But I'm not buying one cause I dont have 50G+ to burn and then paying for the fuel for the 6.1L powerhouse.

Often thought a semi blinged diesel one would make a great daily...Hemi would be nice but the fuel bill would be horrendous.

If you want a laugh, I suggest you do a google image search on "datsun 300 c" to cop an optic on the 'original'.
