Thanks for the responses everyone.

mileshoover, that's the interior I was trying to describe. Thanks for the information, I'll keep looking and try to find one in stock. I do have kids, but it would be my car - my wife has a Taurus wagon for hauling the rugrats around. Even that still looks good on the inside; modern car upholstery is amazing in how it cleans up, time after time.

MOMO, thanks for your input on the Lincoln LS. I'm considering one because it's a rear wheel drive V8. I really like the nice interior and plethora of luxury features (IMO better than 300C). It doesn't have the brute power of the 300C, though, and its interior is much smaller. I've pretty much decided on the 300C now. FYI I figure the depreciation on the LS is typical. An '01 with ~40k miles is worth about $20k. Chrysler is projecting residual lease values on a 300C at $12k at 60 mo/ 60k miles. You can't get much worse than that.

300C, I've been looking mostly at used LSes, but would order a new 300C and just take the hit. *Gulp*
