message: I have edited the article to reflect the fact the LX is based off the newer W211 and not the W210 Mercedes chassis.  I have cited the reference which came directly from a LX Chief Engineer.  Before anyone changes this back to W210 again please CITE your reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueck (talk • contribs) 08:02, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Neither is true, reference the "Burke Brown, LX Car Leader:
Creating the 300C, Magnum, Charger, and Challenger" interview on Allpar which I have posted. COMPONENTRY was based off W211 and W220. It is not an MB-based chassis, also per the Autobeat article "Engineering the LX," likewise referenced. Pretty sure they were working off the old LH as a departure point, since they were working on this pre-DCX.Caisson 06 (talk) 15:03, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

message: I think it's kind of odd having the 300M merged with this article, since the article treats the 300M as if it was the first generation 300 (which it isn't). Who's in favor of spilting this up? --ApolloBoy 01:47, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Does the Chrysler 300 have the smallest window profile of any mass market car?  An Automobile Magazine article I read says The short windows start high up, so some drivers may feel like they're sitting in a bathtub or looking out through gun slits, but that's the trade-off for the hot-rod exterior styling. -Rolypolyman (talk) 14:40, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

message: On the page on the Chrysler 300 I noticted that there is a 300 wagon that looks just like a Dodge Magnum. The interior may be diffent but the design looks the same. I did see that it shared metal with the dodge but I wondered if it is a Magnum with a diffrent name.Plyhmrp (talk) 15:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

message: How could a 1998 Chrysler ad tout the 300 as "the most-awarded new car ever" if the 300 didn't exist until 2005? Is it refering to the original 300 series? Can anyone verify the content and/or age of this ad? Perhaps the statement should just be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.214.127.6 (talk) 22:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I do not like the picture of the chrysler 300 that is at the top of the article can someone please change it to a photo off Chrysler's offical website.Andrew nicholson (talk) 15:55, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: While any photo should be unquestionably Public Domain, which Chrysler website photos probably are not, I agree with Mr. Nicholson that the top infobox photo is arguably the worst on this page. The reflectivity of the silver body glares-out the detail in places and then the front and rear facia details fade into obscurity given the close crop and light color. The angle appears too shallow to obtain the called-for (WP:CARPIX) 3/4 view and is lower than head height. Even the 2011 AWD, which is lower resolution and has contrast issues with the background at the driver's door, shows the body details better. The 2011 in the second-gen infobox, in spite of one glare spot, is, to my eye, most representative of the car - but any good front 3/4 on this page would be an improvement. Proposed: Move the AWD to the second-gen infobox and the photo now there to the main infobox.--Rwberndt (talk) 15:19, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the top photo is not ideal. However, the reflection-covered auto show photos (interior photos rarely turn out well, because of the horrid unnatural interior lighting) are definitely not the best available photo of a Chrysler 300. I'd be okay with a switch to either the 1st-generation infobox or the first-generation 300C, but the others are quite poor. IFCAR (talk) 18:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The article says the 300c will be sold in Europe as the "Lancia Therma from October 2011". How can this be, when the 300c is already sold in Europe as the Chrysler 300c, as it in the US? They obviously aren't imports, as right-hand drive versions can be seen in Britain and Ireland. Then again, Chrysler is a well established in Britain and Ireland, whereas if it were to be sold in mainland Europe, the 'Lancia' badge is probably more well known. Just a thought. 82.132.136.178 (talk) 13:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I can provide more information about the Varvatos cars (seeing as the info about it is pretty scant compared to other special edition 300's), and a photo of a 2013 J-V Limited edition with the factory "black out" look with whatever rights, seeing as I own the car and the pictures.  Is anyone against adding images of some of these variants?  Ill just put it if no one speaks up.

message: We need to add to this page the 50s 300s 60s 70s and 90s and early 2000s. I find it a bit much they are one separate pages when they are the same car from the same brand Loganscoggins420 (talk) 10:03, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: They're not the same car, as there is no real continuity. Even the 300M is a FWD car, and was an afterthought that came about when Eagle was shelved. There was no 300 from 1971-78 and 1980-99. The other 300s have their own pages, addressed in the disambiguation statement.--Caisson 06 (talk) 20:06, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
