    Mike, I'm sorry to hear that the the Enclave drove you away from GM, so is Grizz. It's always disappointing when your favorite marquee (the one you think "rules") lets you down with something so sub standard.
    I'm a FORD guy, but I have had so much trouble with the 6.0 diesels in the 2004-2007 trucks that it really soured my view of the brand for a long time.
    I'm glad to hear you and Misty are liking the 300 so much. I have always liked the looks of these cars and have applauded Chrysler for still building a proper American sedan. I hope it serves you well for years to come.

    I can pretty much guarantee that I built those tail lamps on the 300, we've made all the 300 tails since the 05 model year.

    Well now, that's pretty neat.
    Unless Texas Mike encounters a problem with one... :whistle:

    Since the 2014 launch of the current mid cycle enhancement of the 300 we've had fewer than 10 in field failures of all the 300's built, so it's unlikely he'll need to replace one unless it gets broken somehow.

    Those taillights are one of my favorite parts on the 300. They look so cool at night, and not like the triangles and trapazoids on all the other new cars! I can always spot a 300 on the interstate at night just by the lights!

    Oh and we put another 500-miles on the 300 over this Labor Day weekend on a North Texas road trip. Averaged 28mpg, and enjoyed every mile. ZERO regrets on getting that 300, it just does everything well!
