@VWdude278 if you are talking about the old one, you're definitely right. it was really a poor car with old engines and cheap interiors, and people bought them because they thought that they looked like a Bentley. The new 300, however, I think is different. For the 2011 They've toned down the styling. redesigned the interior using high quality materials, and introduced a new up-to-date engine. It should appeal to luxury car buyers now I think and its what the old 300 should have been

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations?

WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot.

Thumbs up to keep at top

@carguy379 The new 300 looks more like an Audi which i like more the Bentley is ugly as sin and the SRT8 version is sick as far as looks

@thebossisheretostay I never said anything about you personally I was just clarifying, seems like your getting a bit defensive even though I never directly said anything about you... makes your statement a bit hard to believe

[thebossisheretostay]

@n9athan i have been to school, i have been to university, i have a job which im good at and its a career i already told you i have a small fortune i have made already. maybe its just the school you went to or the neighbourhood you live in where most of the rich kids end up screw ups. i like it how you talk as if you know me when you really dont and whilst steriotypes exist for a reason you make people fit into them. most of the people i know at my school have gone on to lead successful lives.

@radar3699 As to what are you basing that on? Have your driven it sat in it? No.

[DocWolph]

@carguy379 The new 300 IS what the 300 was supposed to be. You can thank Daimler and then Cerberus for forcing Chrysler to cheapen their vehicles to make them more profitable.... when making the car great to begin with would have made them more desirable and profitable. BTW, I highly doubt anyone bought a 300 because it looked like a Bentley, but rather it was a very nice car at a price they could afford.

@xxMafia101 um dude, Audi is not the same company as Chrysler. The new 300 is better but its the same concept... its disguising itself as a luxury car

@thebossisheretostay I think the point was that you don't deserve to be "cool" because of something you didn't do or have a part of. You didn't earn that money and you didn't go to school or work hard for that money so you shouldn't be cool because of it. Just shows how socially screwed up our culture is really. Also sadly most children of the rich (and i know many since i live and go to school in a affluent area) end up being total screw ups, and never become productive members of society.

Cool :-)

[thebossisheretostay]

@amathew711 basically yup, but i have a small fortune already, and i dont see why people like you have a problem with it. lmao? is it funny that my parents have worked hard? everytime you leave a comment you come across more childish.

@sangolt88 I agree that it's a little jarring to see a French guy as the head of Chrysler, but you do have to give him credit for that amazing Super Bowl ad.
