Today drivin back to school, i came up upon a blue 300C...god does that car look better in person...it had HIDs, tv screens in the backseat (no clue about that, but they were there, cuz they were on) but the standard wheels and tires...very nice car..too bad the owner wasnt going the same place i was...i tried to take pics, but that didnt work too well, i'll see if any are worth their space on the memory card

I had my Trep in for servicing on Monday and the dealer had a 300C on the lot. This is the first one I have seen up close and to be blunt, I think it's one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen.
Might be nice to drive, beautifully appointed etc. but it's got pretty bland styling.
To me, it looks like a cross between an old Dodge Diplomat and a Cadillac CTS.

The gaping maw grill is a retro styling cue that refers to the old/"real" 300C's of the 50's. They had the big grill openings, so the new ones do too. I think it looks far, far better in person than in photos. Having said that, the 300M and the 2nd gen Trep are about the sleekest (is that a word?) cars ever built. IMHO
Just saw another one today in the Geico parking lot in Woodbury. Gorgeous car.
