New 300

From : kevin

Q: i know i am posting in the wrong group but hey i still own a hemi. i went to my dealers vip last night and took the new 300 for a spin nice car! dc really needs to work on the interior extras for all there line up. $40 k for a new car without one stitch of fabric execpt on the seats and floor. the cruse controls suck they are mounted on a small leaver above the turn signal with no buttons on the wheel the only controls on the wheel are for the radio and stuff. also took the liberty for a ride not bad for a short wheelbase jeep i felt a little cramped though 63 210. the new van with the sto and go is great they have finally figured out what to do with the seats when you need to put big stuff in the back but want to keep your seat for later like going to camp with the kids and then taking the whole park for ice cream. kevin campbell .
