Those of you who look down upon cars that rappers like or drive really causes me to wonder.......And you do know what I'm getting at right. Because unless you can show proof via numbers or you personally can share a negative exsperience as a direct result of driving a car that a rapper drives or promotes, leaves me to come only to one conclusion.

Now I consider myself part of the hip-hop generation. Hell I know a few of the guys/gals. It has changed so much. The "Bling" era is still here, just listen or watch most videos. Sadly, if you don't have these flashy items, your video probably won't get played unless you are a well established artist.
But we are not talking about hating on rappers buying expensive things. Not at all. We are talking about how some just DESTROY a car/suv with some of the stuff they add. Ugly wheels, crazy paint, no drop, etc.
A couple of people that know what they are doing (rare)
1. Busta Rhymes, he is VERY detailed with his rides, they are awesome.
2. Wyclef Jean, some of the most expensive cars are his and he mods them right.
And between you and me, half the cars are not theirs. They are loaned/rented or a producers, song-writer. The ones with the real dough.
LMAO?

I can actually see why. That has a pretty damn agressive stance when you see it rolling on the highway. Personally, I'd never trade in my Lex for a Chrysler -- especially a 1st year model.

300c
I was sitting by the window of an eatery 2 months ago when one of these pulled up with 22 inch chrome wheels. For a moment I didn't know what it was. I had read about it, seen it on the telly but those big wheels and big grill surprising me like that...I'll always have that memory.
That does not mean I'd ever buy one. It's made by the wrong company. Unless someone proves different, Chrysler is crap. I like the look though. Hip hop is going to cause a lot of inner city people to buy it. That's who was driving the one I saw. Who cares, here in South Florida....everybody drives everything.

I wouldn't be to quick to doubt the quality of the 300 and Magnum. Chrysler quality has significantly improved in the last couple years. It's like saying that Hyundai quality still sucks but they have proven otherwise. My mother has owned a PT Cruiser for 2 years without a single problem and the thing is as solid as a rock. Consumer Reports rates numerous Chrysler products above average in reliablity and
I believe these new models will continue this trend. Chrysler has made a new focus on quality because they know there future depends on it.

One nice aspect is that there has not been this type of excitement over any Detroit car in my eyes. People tend to stick to a particular manufacturer and this Chrysler has attracted new drivers from other lines. I personally like the styling as it reminds me of the cars of yesterday with an American contemporary flavor. 
GM/Chevy will also be motivated to the game so it will be interesting to see what develops in the coming years. Will Chrysler edge into the luxo market and go head to head with Caddillac? I think we'll see that. Obviously Lincoln will wake up and see if they will broaden their appeal to a younger market by adding or changing the Towncar, Continental and/or LS.
Interesting times. To me, the car market is jumping by leaps with the integration new technologies and young agressive designers.

300
It was a long time ago but I had a Plymouth in high school. It was crap (Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth all the same). After college I worked at a rental car company. Those cars were crap. More recently I know two people who had, I mean HAD 300m's. Crap.
The car looks great but I wouldn't take a chance unless there is a proven track record. Might as well buy another crap Benz than a Chrysler. Oh wait...that's the same company.

Just months after launching the popular 300 saloon, DaimlerChrysler is recalling up to 20,000 of them in America to fix suspected defects. Owners of the 300s, sister-model Dodge Magnums, Chrysler Sebrings and Jeep Liberties (Cherokee) are being asked to bring their vehicles to dealerships to get the faults (to battery cables, child seat anchor points and seat belt attachments) fixed.
