DaimlerChrysler: Chrysler 300C

Is there a 1:24/1:25 kit of the new 300C available? I really want to build one, but have no luck find any. Are there rumors about a company (Revell, Amt, etc.) that might make it in the near future? :confused:

The best bet would be to keep an eye out for a possible Revell kit of either the 300C or the Magnum. If it does come, it'll be next year or the year after.

I don't know how likely it is, but Revell gets along pretty well with DaimlerChrysler so it's a chance.

I hope they won't spend time building this model because IMO the 1:1 car is so damn ugly !!! looks like a mix of 5 different brands to create the most ugly car ever made...

:iagree:

This is the one that looks like a shoebox? I hafta agree- Chrysler seems to have quite the talent lately of building unbearably ugly looking vehicles.

but theres a model of that Toyota bread Toaster, so there will probably be a model of this car eventually

You might think so but I work for DC and we can't keep them on the lot they are selling so fast. I love them and with a 340 HP Hemi you just can't go wrong.

thats because some kids were watching MTV and saw some "gangster" driving one, so now every body wants one....

I like the magnum and new 300. Very..um.."brawny." Also, when their in black they look very mofiso. (if thats the word?)

I havent seen any kids buying any.

Our local Chrysler lots can't stock them fast enough, either. I actually talked with one of the service department guys (since the shop I work for gets a lot of our Pentastar parts from them) and he said "Man, I thought this place went nuts when the LH's came out, but damned if they aren't selling 3 of those 300C's for every 300M, Concorde, and LHS that were on the lot before."

Haha well you know what, i won't buy an ugly car just because it's got a 340hp HEMI engine in it. there's plenty of powerful and nice looking car i'd buy instead. i know they sell quite well, i've seen a few on the roads. but still, i think that they are a big square metal box with an enormous front grill and giant headlights.

Thanks for the replies. I hope Revell makes one ASAP!!!

As for the arguement. I really like the design of this car. To me it looks like a baby RR Phantom, so that's a plus!!! IMO...

I have to pitch in my 2 cents.

I like the new 300C
It's got a really tough chop top old-school look, and with the same transmission and suspension design of the previous generation E class mercedes and more powerful Hemi engine -only 35grand fully loaded- it's no surprise to me it's a real hit for chrysler.

ditto for their Crossfire coupe made from the old SLK parts

I'd trade up my Cclass for one of those in a second

As mikemechanic said, kids aren't buying them. It's old people. My dad looked at them just because it has a HEMI and he doesn't even like HEMIs. Must be because they [HEMIs] were the cool thing to have back in the day and it makes the mfeel young.

Besides, who would buy something Chrysler makes?

i really like them, they have a classy look, with the modern day style. They bothe ride pretty well, the magnum is a bit of a smoother ride. I would buy the magnum for sure.

I'd expect to see a 1/24 th die-cast kit before the end of the year.
Plastic kit...don't hold your breath!
I don't expect to see much from the domestic makers besides the Stang, Vette & GTO kits.
:p

they already have a 1/24th die-cast out.

ok, i didnt mean, litterally going out and buying them, but just because they saw their hero/idle/criminal driving one of these they want one.

im sure there will be some rich kid whose parents buy them everything will have one this year...


i seriously think their ugly, sorry...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This beholder thinks that both the Magnum and the 300 C are beauties.
However, I won't get to pick the new car, the wife already said that maybe next year we can get Hemi Magnum. I want a 300C, but I'll lose.
Maybe I can get a few more years out of the GTP.
As for a model, I think everyone would embrace a Hemi Magnum and 300 C. When has a car company created so much buzz? IT's trickled down to even us, the modeler's. Hopefully the Kit makers are watching and hearing.
