I have FOUND my next vehicle!!! I've ben toying with staying with an SUV, but now have officially changed my mind. The 300 is absolutely AWESOME.
Went to my local Chrysler dealership today. They had two on the lot -- one was a base model with no frills in the jade/green color w/dark cloth interior; the other a fully-loaded dark blue 300C w/the light leather/dark floor. The blue one was already sold. I was able to sit in the jade one, however. I was surprised how big it actuall is -- big in a bulky kind of way. This car has serious attitude! Didn't take it for a test drive because I feared that I just might not bring the car back, LOL!
I didn't know that the car battery was in the trunk, so that was a surprise. Also, the windshield angle was really dramatic -- very slanted. The seats felt higher up than a regular sedan, but not quite that of a small SUV. The perfect ride height. I was hoping not to feel too small when surrounded by monster SUVs, but the 300 can definitely hold its own.
Another surprise was that the green is very light -- almost mistaken for a silver. The car was outside in bright sunlight. I'm not sure what color I will end up getting, but really want to see the black. Since it is metallic like the dark blue, I think it will be a real heart-stopper! Several of the sales people said that the "best" color in their opinion was the cool vanilla. Have yet to see one in person!
My current lease is up in about two months, so I will be obsessing over color until then!
Just thought I'd share my enthusiasm!
