Click here to download printer friendly version The new shape of Chrysler was unveiled in New York Auto Show with the worldwide debut of the 300C concept vehicle. The car, revealed at the 2003 New York International Auto Show, features an entirely new shape based on Chrysler’s all-new rear-drive architecture. The striking concept saloon continues the Chrysler brand’s proud ‘letter series’ tradition – but in a thoroughly modern way. It has been nearly five decades since Chrysler first introduced its fabled ’letter series’ cars. The brand’s renowned line of Chrysler 300s started with the C-300 in 1955, and continued for 11 years.

This Chrysler 300C concept features classic proportions – a long bonnet, short deck and a dramatic profile complete with 20-inch tyres. Paying tribute to some of the first ’letter series’ cars, a production version similar to the Chrysler 300C concept will go on sale in the USA in 2004.

 Godfather car

 This car is stunning to look at. This is the kind of car that the sopranos would ride around in. It's engine is very good too, because if you're say, cruising around and demanding protection money it runs on 4 cylinders but if the cops start chasing you then it'll run on all 8 of 'em. It is a nightmare to handle. America claims to be a democratic country but the traction control gives you no freedom in a fashion that frustrates you and makes you want to get very far, far away from it.
 No AWD will kill this vehicle

 Virtually all of the European Automakers offer their touring sedans (and wagons) in an AWD configuration regardless of the primary drive (FWD or RWD). The 300M was a winner with FWD. This 300C has awesome looks and the RWD that many sports enthusiasts prefer. But not everbody lives in the desert. Foul weather demands FWD as a minimum. If Chrysler wants to produce an RWD in the tradition of their German parent, that's great BUT Mercedes is smart enough to offer the 4matic. RWD without AWD option is a step backwards.

 Finally I can come back to an american made car that fits my needs. I love the new design of the 300-C. I left chrysler products alone after the cab forward design with front wheel drive came about. Many of us in Northern California just dont care for the front wheel drive designs when it comes to a performance vehicle. Now I can breath a sigh of relief as I can support american made again with the 300C. I am anxiously awaiting for the date to place my order for my customized version. Dr. Blake Moore Silicon Valley
