6.4L Hemi V8 465 hp, 465 lb ft torque

 

Hopefully they put that sucker on a diet

 

Great on a road trip I'll bet. Pedal to da metal. My daughter wants one of those.

 

one of the few cars that looks worse after the make over. The headlight area is awful.. looks like something off of ebay.

 

I like it

 

It doesn't look as powerful as previous model, but it sure looks fancy ... for a Chrysler.

 

I'm liking the rear, but the front i'm not so sure about.

It needs more power...

 

That's what she said!

 

You're kidding, right?

It has 100 hp more than Taurus SHO for not that much higher price. Dodge Charger SRT-8 with the same engine is only $1,000 more than SHO.

 

But it's a Chrysler. They're dead last among American manufacturers in initial quality and dependability. Why pay that much for a car that's going to have issues and wind up in the shop all of the time? Heck, why do you think Chrysler and GM offer longer warranties than Ford? Because they have to.

It's too bad because cars like the 300C are great ideas and there's certainly a market for V8 sedans.

 

Not necessarily.

Hyundai/Kia, for an example, still has 10 years / 100,000 miles warranty even with their quality being better then average (on last JD Powers study they actually beat both Honda and Ford in dependability).

I agree that Chrysler used to make crap cars, I had a pretty bad experience with a 1997 Dodge Intrepid, but their newer products are pretty well done. If anything else, they made a huge improvements in interior quality.

 

I like it. Looks much better without all the chrome of the standard car. This or Charger SRT/8 would make a great daily driver with the Mustang for special occasions

 

The one thing keeping me from ever considering this car is build quality. People can say what they want about them being built better now, but until I see better quality reports from the vast majority of companies that track quality and reliability, then I have no use for the 300 or any other Chrysler. It is a shame, too because it looks like a nice car.

 

But the whole reason they did that was to get people to start buying their less then quality products. It is true they are better now but the original intent was to entice people to buy their lower quality vehicles. And they can't go change the warrenty lower now.

 

I was meaning more as the SRT8 platform and more specifically on the Challenger's end. Sorry, should have clarified. Otherwise, i'd be happy with an SRT8.

 

I would rather have a used Pontiac G8 GXP.

 

I guess if they wanted to go for the sleeper look, they succeeded. Otherwise it's just plain drab looking...

 

Yep, its still ugly and heavy as an elephant.

 

wow...i literally just moaned out loud...i LOVE how it looks. lol
