I had an opportunity to see the all new Chrysler 300C last November in person at the Miami International Autoshow.....this car is absolutely stunning in person and has a commanding presence not even its Mercedes Benz cousins currently have. Very beautiful car. I have been reading about some press previews of the 300C and the car appears to be a winner in most aspects of the equation...build quality, design, performance and handling.

3 engines will be offered:

2.7L DOHC 24 valve V6 engine (Base 300)
3.5L High Output 24 valve V6 engine
5.7L Multi-displacement HEMI(R) V8 engine (300C)

This is the first Hemi powered, RWD sedan from Chrysler in at least 3 decades, so this car is poised to generate a lot of attention in the coming year.

I like it from the headlights back. I don't know about that grille. Maybe it's better in person.

When I first saw the spy shots a while back, I was excited to see DCX releasing an E-class based Chrysler sedan. However, after plopping my booty in one at the NAIAS, I was grossed out at the utterly crappy interior finish, and the exposed foam behind the front grille is embarrassing! That thing might have a Hemi, but it's no benchmark. Nice try, but only half a thumb up from me.

It's amazing how these cars never get the interiors right... Why is that so difficult. They wanna target Mercedes owners? Then at least produce a Mercedes type interior.

Yeah, the Dodge Magnum's interior is the same way. Gorgeous car, cruddy quality. A real shame.
