The 300C has been a great success against the local LWB stalwarts despite not quite fitting into the category - it is LWB, being 129 mm longer than Fairlane and 109 mm longer than Statesman for wheelbase but overall length is 54 mm down on Fairlane and 94mm down on Statesman. This has an impact on rear leg room (the usual r'aison d'etre of these vehicles) where it is 53 mm shorter than Fairlane and 78 mm shorter than Statesman. Perhaps proof that they weren't actually purchased for the extra space anyway!
For those interested here is a graph of the LWB sales in Australia up to January 06.
