Its a Chrysler, as in Chrysler/Daimler, as in owned by Mercedes Benz.

Its a Good looking, better styled Merc, its got the E class chassis and the 3 Lt Diesel engine is straight out of a Merc too.

Fully loaded for silly money, I took out a Mitsubishi Warrior, a Convertable M3, a Range rover sport and the 300c and I went back for a second test of the 300c. (looking for something to get me up and down the M4 in comfort)

It drives soooo smooth, loads of torque, relaxed, chilled out driving and its fully loaded and theres room for 2 adult bodies in the boot...What more could you want for the money???

I do hate "Badge snobbery".

It does look more 'pimptastic' than your regular 5-series or E-class, but then they dont come with 22" chrome wheels and aren't lowered to the floor!

I'd take the BMW or Merc anyday.

I paid a bit extra and upgraded to one ona recent trip to the States. although it was only the V6 version, it was still a fun drive and the looks are awesome. But funnily enough a lot like the old Rover P2!!!!

Hi Nigel,

There must be something in the water, you must be reading my mind too. I'm sure Paul will have his say soon.

P.S. I hope you're feeling better mate.

It's not badge snobbery in my opinion. It may be derived from the same platform as an E-class but its not a cheap E-class. Its just cheap.

Styling is a personal thing.
