DaimlerChrysler: Chrysler 300C

[2nRhart]

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?

[Layla's Keeper]

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...

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
