Chrysler 300 News

With its latest generation 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan, Chrysler decided to launch several different variations of the car, each aimed at a very different target market. The hero of the lineup, the Hemi-packing 300 SRT8 (which is actually a 2012 model), is aimed at the luxury and performance end of the market, while the 300S is for the style conscious crowd. In this latest video clip, our man Joel Feder takes a closer look at the 300C Executive Series, which is designed for the person who wants understated luxury. Not surprisingly, the car comes with an unusual--for an American car--lack of...

2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 Walkaround: Video

2011 Chrysler 300S: Powered By Dr. Dre
While stock Chrysler 300 sedans ride with V-6 or HEMI power, and the new 2012 SRT8 storms along with 465 hp, there's only one new Chrysler powered by rap. At the 2011 New York auto show, Chrysler's peeling back the covers from its new 300S, which strips off the chrome and wood and layers in some...

The brand new 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan has come and gone so now it’s finally time for the model we’ve all been waiting for, the high-performance 300 SRT8, which goes on display this week at the 2011 New York Auto Show. As previously reported, Chrysler is skipping the 2011 model year for the new-generation of its 300 SRT8, introducing it as a 2012 model instead. This means that engineers still have some time to fine tune its new drivetrain and chassis as the popular muscle sedan isn’t due in showrooms until this fall. Details we can confirm include the installation of the...

There's a good reason that Chrysler isn't thought of as a luxury brand. For decades, Chrysler's lineup consisted of little more than chromed-up Dodges, and when that wasn't the case, the cars weren't exactly luxury-grade. However, things are changing fast. The unwanted Aspen SUV is gone, along with the compact PT Cruiser. In fact, the whole Chrysler lineup has been pared down to just three vehicles, and all three are significantly upgraded for the 2011 model year. The Sebring has been redesigned, re-engineered and renamed as the Chrysler 200. With a new nose and tail, and a significant...

Earlier this month, we got our first look at the 2011 Chrysler 300, but aside from a handful of shots, were left to subsist mostly on detail close-ups. No more. The 2011 300 takes the look of its unique, but aging predecessor and transforms it, subtly, into something new. The same basic silhouette remains, but there's a lot more to catch the eye from certain angles. The one angle we're not quite in love with yet: the trunk lid's is-it-a-spoiler-or-a-dent look. Check out the full gallery above, and head over to our preview article for more details, including specs and pricing. Expect to see...

The MA List: 6 Concept Cars That Cried Wolf!
Concept cars are a mixed breed. Sometimes, they're the real thing slightly disguised, and sometimes they're way-off abstractions in the Tomorrowland vein. In a handful of cases, concept cars are annoying knock-offs of the boy who cried wolf, without the bit that makes the fairy tale appealing. You...
