[edit] Pacifica related?

Is it really true that the Pacifica is on the same platform as the 300? I thought I'd heard that it was on the Voyager van platform. RivGuySC 21:04, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Nope, the Pacifica uses the RS platform. The only Chrysler LX platform cars are the 300C and the Magnum.--SFoskett 22:52, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

what about the Mitsubishi Galant it has a similer body style.

^^^EDIT BY FordRules

The Pacifica is FWD. The 300/C is RWD

[edit] Famous owners list anyone?

I have seen a lot of supercar wikipages that has a famous owner list incorporated into the article, I am thinking of a famous owners list for this model as well as it has became popular with celebrity owners, I know the Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney drives one. So what do you think? Willirennen 12.17 6 April 2006 (itc)

[edit] Split this up?

I think it's kind of odd having the 300M merged with this article, since the article treats the 300M as if it was the first generation 300 (which it isn't). Who's in favor of spilting this up? --ApolloBoy 01:47, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I just split it up, since nobody really responded; if anyone has any problems with it, please contact me. --ApolloBoy 00:50, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Explaination of Edit

I updated the section on the Extended Wheelbase Model and added the link to the press release. Before the edit it was out of date. Bok269 21:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1960s/1970s models?

I just noticed that this article doesn't even mention the original non-letter 300 made from 1962 to 1971. Can someone please expand this article and include info on that 300? --ApolloBoy 02:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rear wheel drive

is the regular 300(V6) rear wheel drive? --MarioV 02:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, of course. --ApolloBoy 07:09, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

What does the "C" stand for in 300C? Me and a friend of mine where arguing about it. He says it stands for "Chrysler" and I say it a random letter. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry it has nothing to do with this thread, but I am new to Wikipedia and didn't know how to start a new thread.

It's from the original 1950s/1960s Chrysler 300 letter series. The C was probably the most successful/famous of them. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 06:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] near-luxury car?

What's that? Wouldn't entry-level luxury be better? --Mato Rei 10:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with that. James Mowery 06:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I took it upon myself to edit it to Luxury_vehicle#Entry-level_luxury instead of the previous version, which complements the entry in the "Luxury_vehicle" Wikipedia entry, and prevents any type of possible confusion to those who visit either article. James Mowery 06:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Added much higher quality photo

I added a much higher quality photo, which I believe is preferred here on Wikipedia. If anyone has any objections, revert it back please. Someone in my family rented it and I had to snap some photos. James Mowery 04:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I reverted it back. I don't like the photoshopped blur around your version, and the angle doesn't show the front nearly as well. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 06:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know I added your picture along with a one that I took into a photo gallerey, if you don't really like it just let me know. I'm kind of new at this discussion stuff, so bear with me. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by AClements3 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Long Wheelbase

how bout some information on the 2008 chrysler 300 long wheelbase and the new rear look? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.201.134.148 (talk) 06:58, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manufacturer

Chrysler: 2008-present? Last time I checked it was 2007, so unless Chrysler have a time machine this makes very little sense to me. Mageslayer99 09:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The reason why he is saying that it's a 2008 model is because when car companies release a vehicle they always release it 1 year before the actual model year. So, if it's a Chrysler 300- 2008 model, then it will me released in 2007. I know, it's very confusing.

[edit] Tiny windows

Does the Chrysler 300 have the smallest window profile of any mass market car? An Automobile Magazine article I read says The short windows start high up, so some drivers may feel like they're sitting in a bathtub or looking out through gun slits, but that's the trade-off for the hot-rod exterior styling. -Rolypolyman (talk) 14:40, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chrysler 300 Wagon

On the page on the Chrysler 300 I noticted that there is a 300 wagon that looks just like a Dodge Magnum. The interior may be diffent but the design looks the same. I did see that it shared metal with the dodge but I wondered if it is a Magnum with a diffrent name.Plyhmrp (talk) 15:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC) Plyhmrp
