The answer being a categoric "yes", you'll be asking yourself whether your pistol will get scratched in the glove box and if your stash of cocaine and cash will be safe on the armchair-comfy passenger seat And once again, the answer will be "yes". No one in their right mind would be daft enough to snatch a battered leather satchell through the window of a car which is quite clearly being driven by a made-man.
For, while the 300C just happens to be built by Chrysler in the tidy European country of Austria, it's looks are about as close as a modern piece of metal can get to the bad-boy feel of a Chicago mobstermobile, circa 1971.
And, it's a fact which hasn't been lost on some of the world's biggest celebrity bad boys. Snoop Dogg and rap DJ Tim Westwood are both fans.
HEMI
As is Rio Ferdinand who was foolish enough to drive his specially-imported HEMI left-hooker past a police car on the M6 at 106mph earlier this year - earning himself a third driving ban and a fine of £1,500. The good news is that you now no longer need to be a top-earning star with the £40,000 necessary to have a 300C carted halfway around the world.
As of this weekend, right-hand drive examples of "American" motoring menace will be available to order from a Chrysler dealer near you.
From the off, Chrysler dealers will be selling 300Cs boasting either 3.5litre V6 petrol engine and 5.7 litre V8 HEMI.
A 3litre diesel will join the line-up by January.
I was given the opportunity to drive all three models on the tree-lined roads around leafy Cheshire - a move similar to taking Benny Hill's milk float for a spin through the Windy City. The first thing that hits you is the ridiculously-cushioned driving seat experience and lack of discernible wallow.
The interior is a sea of the soft and squashy, the finely-upholstered and the oversized.
The steering wheel is topped with a highly-polished piece of American-style plastic, while the dials are as brash and bold as you'd expect in a car which makes no attempt at achieving subtlety.
But, with an automatic gearbox across the range, it's also incredibly easy to drive in the way you might expect of a continental-crossing gas guzzler.
The 3.5litre powerplant provides adequate - if not particularly exciting - performance.
Jeep
On the other hand, the diesel unit, which also features in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, is an incredibly responsive and powerful piece of kit.
And, as Rio would no doubt attest - unless he's forgotten - the HEMI-powered 300C is the car which would even blow Tony Soprano's socks off.
If it didn't handle so well, it would an experience similar to climbing into the family oil tanker and discovering that it has somehow developed a jet boat's turn of pace.
CHRYSLER is pitching the 300C at a declining sector, currently dominated by Mercedes and BMW and including cars like the E-Class saloon and the Volvo S80.
They expect 80 per cent of cars sold in this country to be of the diesel variety and have come up with a very complicated series of statistics, which roughly suggest that the 300C is miles cheaper than competitors, even when it's loaded with extras.
It's actually a hell of a lot of car for the money - especially when you factor in the exclusivity angle and the way that it glides gently even along British roads.
And, if you can afford to run the thing, there's the added benefit that people are very likely to get out of your way when they see you coming.
