Looks more fancy that current 300, but it lost that powerful look.

I totally agree, the more rounded look makes it looks less muscular

It needed cleaning up, but this is too far.

Looks like an Audi in the front and kinda like a Lincoln or something in the back 3/4 view... i dunno.

It'll grow on me once it comes out.

I think it looks ok, but I like the earlier version a lot better, looks much more muscular. I'd love to have one with the earlier body with the new Pentastar V6 engine in it, but I'd probably settle for a used V8 300C, they're really coming down in price.

Nice if a bit bland, looks like it was left in the oven a touch too long and got a bit soft and amorphous. Nothing bad mind you, just a nice design lacking a bit of the style and panache of its predecessor.

My hope is that, in reflection of the times and future, it would not be more muscular per se, but rather, a bit trimmer, tauter and athletic, conveying a sense of less lard and more efficiency in the way it goes about things. I think automotive stylistic corpulence is a bit passe now and that a leaner, lighter, tauter aesthetic conveying greater efficiency will be the future -- a bit less linebacker or weight lefter and a bit more running back or track star.

I have never needed a 4 door car. With the exception of my Mom's wagon she gave me to get it out of her driveway, all my cars have been 2 door or 2 door with a hatch.

68 Chevell Malibu 327 CI V8 RWD
1973 Fiat SL 128 1300cc I4 FWD
The 71 dodge cornet wagon was a 5 door, 308 CI V8 RWD
77 Cherokee 360 CI V8 4X4
Wife's Mother gave her the 86 Buick Skylark 3.8L V6 FWD which had 4.
97 Ford Probe GTS 2.5 L V6 FWD
96 Dakota Pickup 3.8L V6 RWD
2001 Ford Ranger 2.3L I4 RWD
2008 Mustang GT 4.6L V8 RWD

I like 2 Door V8s and RWD the best.

Yeah, they look great; they kinda remind me of the new F150's ice blue gauges.

I think Chrysler's has hit a styling homerun with the new 300, inside and out.

I've always preferred the look of blue gauges. I wondered why manufactures always used green or red/orange. I like it better now that the trend tends to be blue.
