The all-new Chrysler 300 stands out with bold styling harkening back to its glory days in the '50s. The 300 is now rear-wheel drive, better for power and handling. With traction control, antilock brakes and stability control, it's effective on snowy and icy roads. The 300 is also available with all-wheel drive.The 300 is exceptionally quiet and offers a wonderfully smooth and solid ride with tight handling. It's very roomy inside with an intelligent instrument panel and controls, and is also easy to climb in and out of.
The 300's lowball entry price should have buyers at dealers' doors to check it out. The base model is a whale of a lot of excellent car, with a proven V6 that has adequate power for many drivers. At the other end of the spectrum is the 300C with the hot new Hemi V8 engine, a car that blows more expensive full-size luxury cars out of the water in the value department. In between are the Touring and Limited models that will most appeal to buyers.
