I had a 300c. It was one of the nicest cars I ever drove. So many toys!

I had 2, a 5.7 and a 3.0 CRD, both brilliant, the diesel was a quality bit of kit, mine had startech bits too, so it looked the part, well they do as standard anyway. Quite quick, remap would be even better, I think I gets it to around 260-280 BHP, very comfy bit wallowy in the bends on small wheels not bad on 20" or 22" alloys though. Interior quality isn't bad either but not up to BMW standards :y

That brought back a memory: We used its predecessor the Datsun 280 (Cedric) and the Toyota Crown - amongst many others - in the 'Ghost' fleet (non-standard unmarked vehicles)

They were indeed big comfortable cars which had no difficulty in accomodating three bulky representatives of the State (and 'equipment') with great ease.

To be fair exclusivity or not I'd get a 535d, they're stupidly fast when remapped too!

Sorry for poor quality pictures, but a lot of my images have gone walkies:

I've got to say that there's something about the Chrysler. It does look a bit Bentley-ish in an odd sort of way. :y

Strangely alluring...like a girl that's not pretty, but yet is really rather attractive. If you know what I mean.  ;) :D
