I'll pass. The 300C is actually a great looking car and I believe many people but it for it's looks and that's great for DaimlerChrysler. This lime green car reminds me of something the MTV show "Pimp my Ride" would do...

Guys here in south florida are starting to do the two differentset of wheels thing. I've seen aftermarket wheel companies do it to advertise their stuff....to show what different wheels look like on the car. I saw one car with 4 different wheels on it. I wanted to chase him down to tell him how stupid it looked but what's the use.
On another note...yesterday I saw what I thought was a nicely modded BMW hatchback coming toward me. I could see the staggered set-up, I could see it was lowered with a kit. As it got closer I almost caused an accident over my stunned surprise. The car was silver with a CHROME plated bodykit. That's right, the front lip, side skirts and rear lip were chrome. I still can't believe it. Guys in south florida have some discriminating tastes.

Even if it looks nice, it looks like a Bentley. A huge problem for me. I don't want something that looks like something else.
Its like how the 2GS is the orginator and now there are 10 cars that look like it.

I mean, its not a Bentley.

Its a great car on its own merits
