i bet the insurance is a nice price aswell!!

I can see myself owning one of these when i turn 30

Probably not that bad, not sure what the group is but my 840Ci is group 20 and it's still a fair chunk cheaper than my Impreza WRX STi was to insure. The Omega (group 16 IIRC) is a fair bit cheaper again. Admittedly I've since passed the supposedly magical age 25 barrier, but I think it's got a lot to do with the average driver profile -- I can't imagine anywhere near as many 300c will be wrapped around a tree compared with Subarus, Evos, etc proportionately speaking. It's a sensible "old man's" car at the end of the day, even if it is available with a 5.7 V8. The fact you can't buy it with a manual gearbox suggests that the average owner probably uses it to pop down to the post office on a Wednesday to pick up his pension

Old mans car, Old mans car,   ;DI will have you know I am only 22 and I am having one.

The omega has that Old mans image attached to it, strange how some cars get that label.

The Omega is an old man's car... although some are more "old man" than others, I think my manual MV6 is possibly the least old man available in the range (although the average age probably still approaches 40 lol). You're only as old as the bit of stuff you're feeling... just make sure you stay on the right side of 16 and you can have eternal youth

Black out the windows. Sell drugs !!!!!

Just kidding, I like the estate version, it's mean.....  heard that Bentley are doing an estate GT soon....   even Clarkson doesn't have that info....

Only time will tell whether or not it turns out to be a bit of a lemon.

i must admit that i am very fond of this car even though it has the Aerodynamics of a Banana box

If the 300c was the only car left on the planet & there was no other car to drive i would get the bus

So, if I was to offer you a lift in mine whilst you're waiting for your bus?

Sorry Dave but Bus it has to be  

But i think the drag coefficient between the two is about the same as a sub post office

Never before in the field of human endeavor has something so ugly been designed by so many for the pleasure of so few
