2012 Infiniti G37 vs. 2012 300S V8/Build Quality

• 2012 Infiniti G37 vs. 2012 300S V8/Build Quality

  Written by: gopherj on Mar 27, 2012 4:17:17 PM

  I am trying to decide between leasing an Infiniti G37 Sedan and a Chrysler 300S V8. I know they are vastly different cars (with completely different engines) but I wanted to see if anyone had considered these two cars, why they chose what they did and - in general - if anyone has any advice. I also have a question about the build quality of the 300S. For those of you ... Read More

  Thanks Timj757. Ally's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2011 Chrysler 300 Limited with 15,000 miles per year in its Mid-Atlantic region are 0.1% and 39%, respectively. Chrysler does have lease support available on other 300 trim levels if you're interested. Chrysler is providing a $3,500 cash incentive on leases of this car in your area.

  Dear Car Man- You know so much about cars! I think thats awesome! Anyhow- I am looking to get either an EL Expedition XLT 2011 due to their deals right now and the fact that I could get one of these cars under the "A" plan (which I am not sure how it works, if you do any advice would be great! Or, I am looking to lease the 2011 Chrysler ... Read More

  Maintenance Manual for Hemi models - that is where I hear about 2 sparkers per cylinder changed every 16k miles. I liked the suspension very much during the test drive, but I stopped by a local shop, specializing in suspensions only and the guy I trust told me it is still an issue with 300. I rake up 60k miles per year, and that is minimum minimorum. So, I would have ... Read More

  Where did you ever hear that you have to change "16 spark plugs every 6 months"? Having owned a pair of 300M and another pair of 300C Chryslers, I just traded one of my 300C's off on a loaded 2011 Town & Country Limited with the new 3.6L V6. It is by far the smoothest "road car" with the most features, storage room, a best visibility of all. I like the ... Read More

  Hi, I am looking at 2011 Chrysler 300 Limited right now as a potential road car for us. We are spoiled by RWD platforms, and looked at Avalon and Lincoln MKX hard, but the FWD is a turn-off. Short of paying more for Daimler E Series real thing, can Chrysler be considered at all? We accumulate about 50k miles per year on business, 80% is highway. I read about horrendous front ...

  I just traded in my 2006 300C Heritage Edition on a 2011 Town & Country, to upgrade our road trip vehicle. My only complaint with my 300C was the small trunk; otherwise it was a fabulous road car... I was surprised to discover how much the Town & Country had improved since our 2000 model. The new 3.6L V6 engine is said to become one of the standard choices available in ... Read More

  the chrysler 300S will be out in the summer as a 2012 model. the interior looks great... love the red/black leather of the teasers i have seen. i heard that it will be available with either the awesome v6 (we have a 2011 300 limited) or hemi v8. hmm... i am wondering if the 5.7 liter v8 model will still be called "300C" when the "S" marque is applied. we needed ...

  I just checked out a 2010 300 S. It's a new model designation. I think it is one of the finest 300's I've seen. Dark grille smoked head and tail lamp lenses and more. The one I looked was white which I think is the best color because of the darked out parts. It had every option except a moonroof and listed for about 38,500 I think. Anyway, does everyone else ...
