Sources close to Ralph Gilles at DCX and CWW Studios recently revealed that the 300C is already headed for a major facelift. Citing consumer polls and industry focus groups, critical design parameters have been altered to create a more "American" version of this already popular styling icon. Highlighting the overall changes are a longer trunk, suicide doors, 20" wheels, and a return to a true hardtop greenhouse. Under the hood, a standard 6.1 L RWD powertrain will be offered along with an optional AWD V-10 system rated at an estimated 550 hp. Inside, greater use of fine woods and stainless steel trim are indicated, along with an industry first, THX multi-screen theater system. Additionally, an onboard internet system, built-in voice communications and DCX's new vehicle assistance program known as Meine Star (MS) will be made standard. As well as a new full length sunroof. Prices have yet to be announced, but are expected to be competitive with the Cadillac STS.
