i never thought to compare these two automobiles, maybe you should factor price to though

[mawi427]

what are we supposed to be basing our opinions on?? id choose the maserati for comfort, luxury, status, marque and longevity. id choose the chrysler for practicalilty, inginuity, american-born, and price...

Yeah thats what I am thinking two. One has a way nicer drive, interior and exterior then the other and one isnt massively produced . My nod obviously goes to the Masser. ( weird comparo)

Interesting. Except the 300C isn't supercharged, at least not from the factory. As far as aftermarket, I'm sure it's only a matter of time....

I would take the Maserati: its more luxurious, its dynamic, it has more power, looks better, is italian made, its rare and it gives you a higher status to drive than the Chrysler.
but if its a matter of monay i would think about buing the chrysler.... but i think i would buy an audi A6 4.2 or an BMW 545i instead.... im not much of a "american muscle car" guy....

The thing is that paticular 300c u got a photo of looks awful because the alloys are ugly and are not even alloys (hubcaps..) and the ONLY colour you get a 300c in is black. NOTHING else. So now i've had my bitch, i'll say i'd get the 300c, in black with proper bloody wheels.

I don't know, I've seen a silver one in person and it looked pretty nice, but it had better wheels on it. The black ones look like they should be limosuines. The worst I have seen is white, they look like crap. I'd like to see it in a darker gunmetal silver, like Lexus IS300 gunmetal, I think that would look really nice, it does come in two other silver-grey-ish colors besides the bright silver in the pic, one is called Magnesium and the other Satin Jade. I saw a maroon one, too, that didn't look bad. And it comes in midnight blue, but I haven't seen any that color.

If i could chose one of them i will chose the maseratti

Strange comparison...
Maserati:

• Styling
• Speed
• Luxury

Chysler:

• Practical
• HEMI
• Bold styling

The Maserati takes this trophy because of its luxury.

this is a strange comparison. the maser beat 300C from any angle, speed, exclusive, power, design, luxury, comfort, etc.

maserati
and as far as i know . that's not a proper Hemi .. only the name

The 300C is fugly IMO, the front looks like a cheap rip off of a RR. There is no comparison in performance either, the Maserati Quattroporte all the way.
