new 300C - yes, please go and tell them

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxx>]

Sorry to go here again but it seems certain somebody should tell Chrysler 
like it is??!!

Daimler Chrysler are bloody lucky I am over here in Australia, as it looks 
like they are determined to prostitute the 300C name trying to give it to 
that absolute shocker (looks wise) of new hemi.

Obviously they know it looks so bad that they must try something/anything, 
to sell it??!!
And either they are pig stupid to not know certain/many? in the 300 Club do 
not approve of using so cheaply a name/image that truly is 
worthy/significant.
(And if they so pig stupid to claim to be unaware many are not happy, then 
don't hold your breath for how good, clever, the car will be ?!)

Old man Chrysler would/will turn in his grave that his old Company/name, has 
to resort to such means to sell product?! I mean whatever happened to 
building a car that sold itself, didn't need any cons/tricks?!

I challenge/dare Chrysler to fly me over there, let them try and sell me on 
why the car is worthy of Exner's original 300C name, not to mention using 
the 300 name. (I mean so many V8 engines today are ohc, 4 valve, etc ?!)

Australia has been very badly treated by our politicians encouraging selling 
off 100% to foreigners, all our major companies, iron ore, alluminium, power 
companies, meatworks, etc, etc, so today we own nothing, are too often 
reduced to low paid employees - virtually everything, the profits go 
offshore, they no longer pay tax here - and our dollar has gone from 120US 
to recently 55.
And you, America - if Chrysler's best idea is use the 300C name to try and 
sell an obvuiosly most ugly car since the Edsel fiasco (Which to me 
personally the Edsel is way more attractive than the new "***##@@!***") - 
then god bless America, because you are headed the same way as us.

You guys go to their launch, but take a few good 300Cs, ones that are well 
tuned, on radials, and run them (attending journos) round the block, stick 
your heavy accelerator foot into them, and show them how Chrysler used to 
build cars that had guts and looks, character - and in the 300C, a true 
milestone.

Chrsyler's new 300C will be a milestone - it will be remembered as the most 
prostituting of an icon trying to sell a car that will be as memorable as 
the Edsel for building a car of just so bad appearance.

Sorry to rave on, but GM knew by the 20s that looks sold cars, and here is 
Chrysler 80 years later refusing to learn from history - maybe they are 
better of selling babies nappies, anything, but cars?! At least if Chrysler 
do so bad out of this, they may soon be selling nappies, and the 300F, B, 
and other letters will be safe?!

over to you yanks - you are there, your chance to go and tell them, the 
journos, what you think. Ford killed it's Thunderbird chance by botching 
it, 300 looks next??! Have you guys really been taking the same stupid 
pills we obviously have?
