Me too i thought it was ugly from the day it hit the market. I was a corvette addict
UNTIL I STARTED WORKING FOR CHRYSLER.
Actually the above is just one of the reasons.
I saw snoops, 50cent and xzibit 300c's even though i hate all these rappers and i hate what they did to those cars, even wes's car looks 500 times better when i saw those things, they just made those cars fugly which left a very sour taste for the car in my mouth until i finally saw a stock 300c very upclose and i sat in one in oct 2004 during the celebration, and i just thought i had to have one, then it was snow season so i decided to hold on but in feb i couldnt hold on any more, so i bought my AWD. Crappy snow or i would have bought a rwd but i never regret having an AWD. Ralph gilles gave a speech on that day. VP was there, The cio was there, lets just put it this way all the big chrysler heads were there.
In chrysler they threw a very big celebration when the car won the motor trend car of year damn it was big, free cake and drinks for every one. plus u can sit inside the car turn on the engine and rev em a bit. But we cannot touch rappers cars.
PS: The setup was wonderful the cars were in like oval dome type of building so when u revved the engine with hood up, windows down all the attention was at U.
