I will probably keep my Lincoln LS and still get this car





2004 Chrysler 300C

I forgot to mention....

I wasn&#39;t being facetious when I said I&#39;m getting this car.
I AM getting this car. This car will not break my bank. It costs around &#036;35,000 nicely equipped with a V8 (like my LS).
I like ALL the other cars posted here but the thing is I&#39;m not into pipe dreams unless I hit the lottery . I can afford the Chrysler 300C NOW.
I don&#39;t care if a car is "all-American" or not. Most cars have some parts from elsewhere or are assembled elsewhere.
I might wait until the second year of the new Chrysler because I don&#39;t ever want to be part of some recall.

@J&#39;Pol - it&#39;s fairly easy to see the similarities. Go look at a Bentley and observe the front view, the back, and the overall shape. The Chrysler&#39;s corners are rounded off though. The Lincoln LS took style points from BMW (almost bought one but they didn&#39;t have 0% financing so they could kiss my butttocks).

I agree it definitely has that "new look".The latest Toyota Avensis has a similar look.

Aren&#39;t Chrysler now part of the Daimler Benz empire (in which case it might not just look like the Bentley it may have body parts from it too.) I am sure I read somewhere that the new Crossfire sports car has panels straight off some of the latest Mercs.

Ah&#33; what a global village the world has become.

I don&#39;t tend towards pipe dreams either (but I will make an exception for the Tuscan) I drive a Nissan - it is rather dull, but frighteningly reliable.

i can&#39;t really see the similarities either...

the styling of this car is typically american, a box with another box on top, rolls and bentleys are a little more styled than this...

This is the best car in the States at the moment, and we build them for you.

This is what a Bentley looks like.





The other one looks like someone tried to carve something similar from a bag of shite.

If you can&#39;t see the difference I can only assume you are an American
