300 still unqiue?

How many 300's do you see in an average day. Looking at similiar priced cars for example an Acura TL/Infiniti G35/ Audi A4. these vehicles are all over the place I am the proud owner of a 300 C for about a month now. I am noticing more now that I have one, always happens though right. I probably see 3 other 300's on a good day in Seattle Area. Is the vehicle still unique in your area.

I believe you mean "is the 300 still a rarity." It is certainly unique, as there are no other makes/models out there that even slightly approach its styling.

This is as opposed to many other U.S/Japanese marques, where they tend to all look the same or similar, thus losing any potential for "uniqueness."

I do see many 300's on the road now though.

in my area i am the only one under the age of about 50 with one, lol. theres about 5 of them around my area i often see, but its mostly older people driving them (no offense to all you senior citizens on here, lol).
i still get looks everyday when i drive this thing, no matter what town im in.

the majority of 300s i see are usually the touring or limited models, and have not seen many C's (let alone SRT8s). they are usually not modded either. i was up in syracuse last week and saw one black guy driving a silver one with a mesh grill on it, and saw another black C in a parking lot with tinted windows and a spoiler, but thats about the extent of 'modded' 300s ive seen.
im sure in more major metropolitan areas there are way more of these cars, but in no way do i think they are going 'out of style' or are not unique anymore. i mean common, thats why theres so many aftermarket mods for this car so we can make em unique!
compared to the TL and G35 and A4 or A6, i definatly think this car is way better and would drive my C any day over them. they get looks too, but not nearly as many as this car does. there has never been a car (that i can recall at least) that has taken the market by storm like this. even a couple years down the road, i think they will still be an american icon as they are today.

youre right tho kobe, now that youre driving one you do tend to notice them more on the road. i usually give em a thumbs up or stop and chat with the owner if i can. i mean after all, they do have a helluva taste in cars!

I do see a lot, but not nearly as many as I do boring Japanese imports combined.


They all have that "sterile" safe look to them, so I clump them all in the same category.

I see quite a few 300's but not near as many "C's". This being a heavy tourist area though I think many of the 300's are rental cars. My black C still draws quite a bit of attention and comment though.

i see at least 5-10 300's a day now. when i first got my base 300 i very rarely saw other 300's. now i see them all the time being drivin by anyone from 18-50. some modded some not. see tons of mesh grilles now. mostly base, tourings and limited. dont see a to may C's and i am shocked i havent seen an SRT8 seeing florida has one of the highest concentrations of the 8's. hopefully i will have my silver steel SRT8 in a few years

It is definatley unique even though they are becoming more common on the roads now, though not the C! Saw two on my way to work yesterday and both were driven by older gentleman.

Still, they look cool and command attention.
