    @travesty42: Maybe not a Democrat's car, but it surely sounds like a Democratic Politician's car. The unions direct a lot of votes their way.

    I never would have pictured him in a car like this. It's like seeing an obese Canadian man in a speedo...just not right.

    @Cantaccessmyaccount: In my head, it's a far better fit than the Ford Escape Hybrid he now drives for PR reasons.


    The 300C always said "working man's luxury" to me.

    @Ash78: I can see your point! "Working man's luxury." That phrase reminds me of my father saying, "Well, no matter how shitty my paycheck was I made sure you ate steak at least 3 times a week." Steak=success.

    That's very disappointing. I alway pictured him as more of a BMW or Audi kinda guy...understated yet powerful. Reserved and sophisticated. This is officially strike one: For owning a pig with bling.

    @POLAЯ WILL COVEЯ THE TOЯONTO AUTO SHOW! for a small fee.:


    I'd have to vote crack pipe. I mean, I could find a 300 owned by Rod Blagojevich for one-tenth as much.
