Yes, it's a flashy car on the surface, but underneath that surface glitz is the same old Chrysler El Cheapo plastic and tin that the company has been using for years. The car does have a pretty good transmission and basic platform, though.....both of Mercedes origin, and more or less the same as the E-Class.

I sat in a Dodge Magnum (same platform) and I must say the interior is incredibly bland and cookie cutter.

300 is crap... it is only flushy outside, but once you get in, you will be wowed with cheap interior and poor quality...

You have to keep in mind that different people like different things. To some, looking flashy on the outside is important more so than to be expensive and luxurious inside, for example. It does not invalidate other preferences, nor itself is invalidated by other people preferring sportiness, luxury, etc.

The very reason that someone is annoyed by them is proof enough of their appeal to some folks (as well as of some insecurity of the annoyed person). If you are happy with the car you've got, what do you care if there are tons of 300's rolling on dubs?

Me too, I don't like the Chrysler 300 either. The funny thing is most people buy it for it's looks. Pretty shallow huh? I do admit it does look cool but I'd never buy one...

I got to drive the SRT-8 version. It brought a smile to my face.

But the interior wasn't something I want to live with.

Srt-8 is nice but the interior of Dodge/Chrysler is a joke. Everything very low quality plastic.

Very good points. Some people could care less about interior quality or even overall quality. Some people don't care about actual power.

Exterior styling has always been near the top of the list of criteria for car buyers. Many people make a purchase on this criteria alone. If you feel that a certain car is by far the best looking car to you for your budget, you're likely to buy it if it meets other basic requirements.

I don't mind the 300 and I am glad to see a psuedo-American car company building something people actually want to buy. The interiors are cheap, though, and the dash looks like it was taken from an old pickup. There is absolutely no imagination in use when modding the 300s, though. Seen one, you've seen them all.
