2004 ,the Chrysler CM 300 will be here. It is the same size as a Fairlane and Statesman. The 190kw V6 will be about $50.000:00, with higher equipment levels. No price on V8. But looks fugly. ! Interesting times ahead. !

Actually Chrysler have one of the best design studios around - they seem to have a habit of making their preliminary sketches go somewhere.

CM300 ? They have an 300M currently which doesnt look too bad, think Mellor news had the new 300C which looks like a bentley gone wrong. heres the pic

heres the 300M, which looks a bit better than some of the upcomming aussie models IMHO.

Also they have a model which might give the Ford Territory a run for its money if Chrysler AUs bother to import it - Chrysler Pacifica. Rumour has it that an 8 will find its way into the bonnet

Its the 300C...and I'll put money on it that it comes to Oz.

This is what the 300C Concept looks like:
(The Ford 427 has it over this car in terms of design and powertrain IMO)

yuk! that 300C concept is too stumpy, it looks like a Bentley that has been squashed from each end.

I reckon the Dodge Intrepid/Chrysler Concorde, on which I believe the 300M is based, are much better looking - the Intrepid is an awesome looking thing!

lights look very BMW 7 and 5ish.

300C is a nice looking car to me. I like the Ford 427 as well.

They both really stand out on the road & have a great presence. The mumbo helps too of course!

You guys down under should'nt even look at cars from the states because they all suck. [except Viper, Vette and the next Mustang] I can only dream that Detroit would bring over some serious 4 doors like the FPV Falcons or even the HSV Commodores. Instead, we line up and pay $80,000 USD for M5's and E55's. Hope the Monaro experiment goes well. Maybe that will pave the way for more

By the way, does anybody buy or even like the current Mustang in Australia? I was told Cobras go for the equivalent of $50,000 USD

Yes mate.. We had a batch of ~250 '01 Cobras that are still being sold by dealers down here.

Current '03 Cobra is a horn machine in my books..
