• Only negative is cheap plastics in the interior.
• Heavier steering would be good...light steering just takes away from the heavy impenetrable impression
• still a little blue collar American "fuck you" in it...and it's under the hood
• When first introducing video clip "My hair has grown a bit."

"We had a 2007 Chrysler 300C for only one night before the owner realized that we'd stolen it."

Video Additions

• Like a lot of American cars, the 300 is "inspired" by great foreign luxury cars. A cheap ripoff, really.
• Trunk is too comfortable for kidnapping. Need to add some sort of torture device.
• In the video, I mention how quiet the car is, yet the audio seems very noisy. (Lots of ambient noise.) This is our microphone. The car really is very quiet for its price. Not stupendously quiet, but competently quiet.
• Described the engine noise as "rumble," but it's really more shouty than that. (see the above note about the blue collar american vulgarity.
• The vulgarity, simplicity, bluntness is what gives it its unique charm. The 300 would be that "new money" guy in the golf outing who's really open about his sexual experiences and is oblivious to the discomfort it causes his peers.
• The modern definition of luxury has sort of moved from a focus on serenity and relaxation to a focus on busy-ness, more and more technology, and more and more background processes. The 300 could be compared to an old Rolls-Royce (but without the build quality or craftsmanship, obviously.) Its advantage....it's goal...is to be simply good. The instrument panel is very simple, those two wide, legible (if a bit tacky,) twin gauges are just...there. There aren't a shitload of buttons. And you never get the sense the 300 has got much going on in its head....it doesn't know anything about you. It doesn't know if your left shoulder is slightly more tense than usual or if you can have children....it just presents itself to you as something simply a little bit quieter, a little bit more comfortable than your average family sedan, and then throws in that V8 to remind you of where it came from. (Even though its really very German...which is to say, very American as well.)

The 300, then, is "old luxury." And I like that. I'm 20 years old, and I like that. It's all about your definition of luxury, I guess.

• Traction control, gives you an option to turn it off, but it's never completely off. It seemed to know, though, what I was doing when I went into a parking lot, turned the wheels, and put my foot to the floor.

What I keep saying in this video: unsettling bumps, needs heavier, more eventful steering.

• We decided to kidnap someone to truly test the 300.
