A friend of my just got a black 300C, and IMO its a great car. I'll stick with the stang all the way, but I've got to give props to Chrysler for the the new 300 series. I've mostly seen the base 300 on the road, which looks a bit ordinary compared to the chromed out 300C version.

As for MT COTY, who knows? We haven't seen any car mag reviews on the new Stang, but I've read many great reviews on the 300C. Who knows, they could write down the Stang for using a solid rear axle again. But, I'm sure most mags will be enamored with the '05 Stang, especially considering how outdated the Stang it is replacing became. I wonder what other vehicles could be candidates?

If the 94 Mustang can win COTY, how can the 2005 not win?

God I hate the 300C. No matter how many people cream over it, still looks Pug Fugly to me. No, It would not look better if it were a Ford-branded car. Its STILL UGLY. It doesn't look like a classic car, it looks like it ATE a classic car and is in the process of digesting it. The magnum is closer to acceptable, but its still too chunky and its truck-like nose looks almsot comical. Of course, I think the Escalade looks like Hiney and GM sells a million of them, so why am I surprised?

Ford: put soemthing like the 427 to market agasint this thing. You'll kick its hiney.

i agree. also the idea of the 300 is great. nothing better than RWD family sports sedans. but the styling is just to chrysler.i mean it looks like they took the grill off of the 1500 Ram and grafted it to the car. i mean it looks good on the trucks. but is too big for a car. thats the only drawback i have with the car. 345HP and RWD gotta love it!

i for one love the 300's looks... esspecially the 300C Hemi. that thing is nice and to me the car has almost a baby bently kinda look to it. looks smarter then god i dont know practically all the cars on the road that arent classics. oh and here in edmonton when im drivin around town i always see all the different lvls of 300 drivin around. was next to a 300C Hemi on the freeway and the guy left me in his dust and i was going at a good clip too. ive sat in them too and i gotta say its rich looking and very comfortable. as far as some dealers having 300s just sitting there, i so far havent seen that happen here. every where u got here in edmonton there is a dealer and ive never seen the same 300 at the same dealer longer then 2 days or so. like i said if u just go for a cruise here ull end up seeing about 30 of them just on the south side of the city alone. the westend where West Edmonton Mall is ull see prob another 20 or so there. so i cantspeak for most cities when it comes to 300s selling like hot cakes, but here they sure as heck are
