I like the car A LOT and it is very likely to be my next passenger car. Local dealer tossed me the keys to a 300C (Hemi) and let me take it out for a couple hours (dealer is a fellow Viper owner). I think the front and sides look awesome, while the ass-end is a little plain for my tastes. Car was very quiet but you could still hear the engine when you gave it a little gas (didn't punch it since it had less than 100 miles on it). Got a LOT of looks, even though it was "stealth silver" (my least favorite color on this car). Interior materials (door panels and parts of the dash) seemed typical "Chrysler plastic", but other parts seemed to be slightly more upscale. I would option mine to the hilt with navigation system, sunroof, HID lights, side curtain airbags, Boston Acoustic stereo, etc. And still pick it up for around $35K.

The three reasons I have not made the leap are:
1. Would like to see it in AWD (Fall of 2004).
2. Want to see if a supercharged version is announced (Automobile magazine says it is in the works, with 430 HP).
3. Need to make room in the garage. Just bought a new Denali XL, so not in a huge hurry.
While I buy 95% of my cars in black, the Midnight Blue is absolutely gorgeous.
