I just saw the commercial for it and looked it up on the internet. Looks to much like a bentley. But my god, look at the hp numbers and trq for it.
The 5.7L HEMIŽ Multi-Displacement V8 engine with 340 hp at 5000 rpm and 390 lb.-ft. of torque is standard on 300C, making it the most powerful sedan in its class.* The V8 uses a Multi Displacement System (MDS) that allows the engine to operate on four-cylinders when power demands are minimal and/or light for up to 20% more fuel efficiency. So you get the power of a V8 with the economy of a large V6. (EPA estimated mpg: 17 city/ 25 highway)
It is RWD. Looks nice and it is tasteful also. Starting prices are at 23,595.
But that starting price is for the non-hemi version. Just the 2.7l V6 version. Wonder what the Hemi version starts at??

Yeah I think the prices go up real quick. I thought they were also going to make an AWD version.
They have a lot of good safety stuff too.
If I had a business where I had to travel a lot (by driving), that'd probably be my G-ride of choice.

According to my May Car and Driver the base V6 starts at less than $24K and the Hemi starts just under $33K. You'd have to get it fully loaded to break the $40K mark. They had a lot of options on the test car and it came out under $38K.

I absolutely love that car, based on looks alone. I reminds me so much of a classic "gangster" car (thinking of "dick tracy" and the batman cartoons). It would look so sweet with tinted windows and huge chrome rims, unlike most cars that actually have the the rims and tint.

LOL. Have you seen them up close in person. Pictures and video do it no justice. Looks like a bentley. Sits nice and low suspension wise, and seating wise, nice boxed but curved slightly trim, big ol lights that scream get the hell outta my way. Very nice indeed.
