2011 Chrysler 300
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.

The 71 dodge cornet wagon was a 5 door, 308 CI V8 RWD

Wife's Mother gave her the 86 Buick Skylark 3.8L V6 FWD which had 4.

96 Dakota Pickup 3.8L V6 RWD

I like 2 Door V8s and RWD the best.

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.
