Ok, I know this is an Infiniti forum, so why am I talking about a Chrysler. I dont know about all you other Q owners, but as soon as I saw that 300 with the Hemi, and at that price, It has peeked my interest. Go to this link.

http://www.chrysler.com/artofd...vents

Chrysler is doing this thing called Art of Driving 2004. You sign up for this and you can test drive the 300. There doing it all over. Wes, it will be in Indianapolis May 22-23. Rsiwicki, Miami on July 24-25. Dennis, Atlanta, July 26-27.You guys should go. I'm going to the New York one on July 10-11. I've been to several of these things and they're kind of cool. They set up a course with cones and they let you drive it fast. I saw the 300 at the NYIAS and I wasn't happy with the fit and finish, but the seating position was very comfortable. I'm dying to see how this thing drives. I, like all the Q owners here, like nothing better than driving a Big RWD V8. This is a no brainer. I wish that Infiniti did these things. I've been to several Chrysler and MB events and they've been fun. The last one was an MB one that a pro driver took us in an AMG C class for a hot lap. Man that was fun. Anyone that goes, write up a reveiw.

The seats are comfy but feels like bubble gum stretched over crappy foam.And if the fit and finish was "crappy" at the auto show, then it hasnt changed at all since then.

Anyone here ever been to the Mazda events?

I think if Chrysler could make some engines that could actually last longer than 100,000 miles they might drum up some business, but I'll never..... How many Chrysler(non-truck) engines last over 100,000 faithfully? None!

Chrysler came up with the disposable mini-van and now they have destroyed Mitshubishi as well.

The Chrysler 3.5 will run forever and ever... but the 2.7 used in most of their mid-range cars is a PILE OF HORSECRAP AND THEY SHOULD GET THEIR ASSES SUED.

Sorry.

Ditto on the 2.7 being a POS, as well as the 225 slant being indestructible.

I'd like to drive one, but, sorry, not worth driving to Miami to do it.
