Thanks for the link..
They should have won an award for this design. Wonder if it will get car of the year?

Many writers and members of the media seem to be impressed with the 300C.

Seriously though, i think it'll be between the 300 and the mustang. No other car has recieved such extensive facelifts as those two cars. It'll come down to whoever has less problems..........Ford will definitly win in that department.

Umm, no, lol... The 300 is SOOOO nice compared to the Mustang and since it looks so outlandishly Bentley for so little money, it'll win any contest hands down and I do think it really deserves it unlike the Mustang (which is great, but it ain't no 300 in a running for "Car of the Year"... maybe "Sports Car of the Year" for under $30K)

motor trend says to be a contender for car of the year, the car has to be made available to the magazine by like september or something. Last year, the 300 was not included. As far as the model year thing goes, they had a 2003 z4 included last year, so i guess a 2004 300 is cool for the 2005 car of the year. i agree that it'll probably come down to the stang and the 300. They're both making/going to make a splash, and they both seem to be good cars. My personal favourites from this year are the bmw 6 series (controversial, i know, i love it though), and the mazda3. The 3 won the automotive journalist association of canada car of the year award this year. I think it looks pretty sweet, and its got really tight handling. As far as MT's concerned, the mazda3 is faster through the cones than the murcielago.

I thought the GTO looked very nice until I sat in one at a car show, and realized it's nothing special.

How do you know this for sure? Have you actually sat in both, or either for that matter? Looks can be deceiving.

I've sat in the 300 and leaned inside a 2005 Mustang. If you did nearly the same, you would get it. Go and build a 300 online to see all the lux features for low price. I agree with some posters that the Mazda3 deserves a healthy look -- quite the pimpy ride if I've seen one lately (aside from the 300 with 20" rims, that's something else altogether, lol...)
