Incredibly nice car inside and out. Just wish it had a V8 but the ride and the panoramic roof is very nice.

My dad looked sincerely at one, he actually really wanted a 300C Varvatos or whatever. I really like them, but between the two of us we decided it wasn’t for him.

Looks fantastic in bright red.

Bright red suits the car surprisingly well!

When he said it was bright red I was a little worried but it turned look great.

And the Varvatos had a rhinestone started shifter didn’t it?

Gramps has good taste! That 6 isn’t too shabby. It has a surprisingly good sound.

I was surprised too but yeah it looks great going down the road.

Good sound and pretty good pick up as well for a V6

I don’t remember if it did, but if that’s true it sounds very tacky.

The only thing it needs is a v8 although the v6 will get the job done.

It looked tacky. I swear I saw it here once on Oppo

That's what I told him! He opted for the V6 though. It broke my heart

The v6 is perfectly suitable for about 95% of the time. Too bad about those other 5%.

Looks shiny! I’m pretty stunned he didn’t get the V8... One of the last strongholds of a big V8 American (you mean Italian? SILENCE!) sedan.

But still, red is a great color on that.

I couldn’t believe it either he had a Corvette and he loved it I thought for sure he would want the Chrysler with a V8

Well, a modern V6 vs even a 20 years old V6... It’ll do the job.

I thought the 300S came with the v8 standard

I would not mind that car at all, maybe not red. Very nice car though. Two years ago I had a 300s and a Charger SXT, both V6's, as rentals back to back. I had the 300s first and I would actually buy one, it was a great car. I did not like the Charger at all. I think the cars are dampened different and the steering was different. I didn’t think they could be that different, but I was very wrong.

I did too but it does not.

I am surprised they are so different. And yeah the 300S is indeed a car I would not mind owning even a little bit.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > JR1

That red is nice. It kinda transforms the car, ironically it makes me think “this ain’t your Grampa’S Chrysler.” If is we're to buy one I'd have to have it in Jazz blue, but the red is a close second.

I would get the blue too! But I agree this Chrysler 300 looks very contemporary compared to the more aged looking other 300s out there

Is the B pillar still the size of a Saturn V rocket, or can you actually see past it now?

I didn't notice it when I was in it

That’s good to hear, it was my biggest problem with the old one
