The Bigger And Better Chrysler 300C
Where Do You Live?
As automakers go, developing well received models is a chore all on its own. When a model becomes a triumph, as has the Chrysler 300C, the result is favorable press coverage, high purchaser satisfaction ratings, and a “halo” effect that may extend to the entire product line. Chrysler’s 300C is a hit, but the German-American automaker isn’t stopping there. A stretched version of the car is being developed, one that may find a following amongst enthusiasts, but only if the price is right.
So, why would DaimlerChrysler allow a stretched version of the 300C? For many reasons including:
The Limo Market - though the 300C isn’t on the same level as the Lincoln City Vehicle or Cadillac DTS, the automobile does struggle with the Ford Crown Victoria. Thus , taxi and limousine operators will be drawn to the stretched 300C as the vehicle gives its passengers the room that they need.
The Pursuit Market - The Ford Crown Victoria is the most popular police pursuit auto followed by the Chevy Impala. Chrysler way back conceded this market when they quit building larger rear wheel drive automobiles. The stretched 300C could fit in nicely and give the automaker some further sales to lift market share. Look for a likewise stretched Dodge Charger to also be built once 300C demand has been proven.
The Luxury Market - No, the 300C isn’t an expensive vehicle, but a model coming down the pike 3-4 years from now will be. Yes, the Chrysler Imperial will be returning and it, too, will be a stretched version of the 300C, but even longer and bigger than the stretched version of the 300C. Don’t think for a moment that DaimlerChrysler will not be measuring demand for its new 300C to of the record, there are a few things that we know about the bigger 300C : the car will be stretched only by 6 inches and all of those gains will show up in the rear passenger area. In addition, think we know about the stretched 300C, instead an exterior provider will handle the task of taking existing inches and reworking them.
Prices for the bigger 300C have not been finished yet, but they may carry a premium of as much as $5000 over the shorter model. This is a concern, as the price could be more than what some livery drivers could explain. Maybe DaimlerChrysler will eat some of the expenses and hold the price down to a $1000 premium. If they do not, the company could be in for a rude awakening and find requirement for the stretched 300C to be tepid at best.
