Chrysler Insight
From Motor Trader , March 2008

“When we launched the 300C in 2005 there were many comparisons made with the Cadillac launching at the same time,” said the Chrysler spokesman; “and we were very careful not to define our market, to say we’d compete with the three German brands. Certainly on price we don’t compare.
“However we have seen buyers come out of those brands into the 300C, but in all honesty the list is bonkers. Those buying 300Cs have previously driven E segment cars, D segment, pickups, SUVs, you name it. It is very difficult to say that’s a BMW customer, or a Mercedes customer.”

The car in front – is not a Toyota
From Race Tech December 2007

"In the Talladega race the Camry again failed to secure Toyota its first Nextel Cup win and in fact the consistent factor at each round has been whether the Toyotas would actually get into the race, several weekends seeing half of them packing up for home following qualifying. Alongside these disappointments have been headlines that Toyota management could not have expected, or wanted – particularly involving its star driver. Such scenarios seem a world away from those pre-season predictions that had Toyota arriving with a budget the size the US manufacturers could only dream of, and dominating the series, creating dire times for the existing Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge players."
