2005 Chrysler 300 rear

Credited with nothing less than the single-handed revival of Chrysler, the flashy 300 is selling so well in spite of triple production shifts that Chrysler still feels the need to open a second plant. The 300 marks the return of rear-wheel-drive and the Hemi engine (Hemi cars are badged 300C); two V6s are also available. Usually, badge engineering doesn't work, but the formula works in this case because the engineering lurking underneath is the work of Mercedes.
