| I know what you're thinking: how can anyone possibly compare
two very different vehicles with one another? Yes, in making that particular
presupposition you are correct. No, there isn't too much that can be compared
about the two cars, as the 300C is a "near luxury" sedan while
the Mustang is a sport coupe. They are two very different cars with two
vastly different customer bases. However, the 300C and Mustang are duking
it out...in a way that isn't so apparent at first glance. Please read on
for some behind the scenes tidbits.
Do you know which two cars compete year in and year out for the honor
of being the best selling car in America? Well, it isn't the 300C or the
Ford Mustang. In fact, it is the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord that have
been fighting for the number spot for the past decade ever since the Ford
Taurus ceded that position in the mid 1990s. On the other hand, if you
were to ask a group of automobile critics and car enthusiasts which models
are generating the most excitement, their answers would include the Chrysler
300C and Ford Mustang at the top of the list. Why is that? Because, both
cars are generating a level of enthusiasm for their respective divisions
that hasn't been seen in many years. Bold styling and advanced engineering
are two areas cited by enthusiasts when they mention the 300C or the Mustang
in the same breath.
Let's take a look at some key features of both cars:
Chrysler 300C - The DaimlerChrysler union has produced the 300C, itself
based on Mercedes M Class technology. Equipped with either a V6 or V8
engines, this big and beefy rear wheel drive sedan features fine, chiseled
good looks, responsive handling, a comfortable ride and a style resembles
gangster cars of yesteryear.
Ford
Mustang Parts - If you liked the fastback Mustangs of the 1960s and
1970s, then the current iteration will warm your heart. The current Mustang
is pure emotion. In addition, it has the speed, handling, power, and good
looks to back it all up. The Mustang has outlasted its competition, namely
the Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird, and waiting times to snag high-end
models is several months long. Looking for Ford

As far as sales totals go, the two cars are top ten sellers, behind the
Camry and Accord as well as the Chevy Impala and Cobalt, the Honda Civic,
Toyota Corolla, and the Nissan Sentra. Still, compared to models that
they each replaced, their total sales have racked up double digit increases,
and something few manufacturers can claim.
Personally, I like both cars and can understand their attraction. Compared
to other models out there, both the 300C and Mustang are garnering the
most emotional appeal. Who wins in that unofficial category is certainly
subjective, but the two cars are definitely leaders.
