mopar needs to show the 300 some more love. I suggest a working man’s take on the S600 Maybach, lets call it the 300C Imperial. Lets make it LWB, give it a retuned Hellcat V8, make it AWD, some adaptive suspension, lets give it a wine cooler in the back and foot rests like the old Fleetwood cadillacs had, and way too much polished aluminum trim. Sell it for, let’s say, $75k, and bob’s yer uncle. Would it sell? Probably not. But you know, it’s be neat.

Or make Imperial the brand name and see if it sells as a luxury vehicle. LWB, revised grill, some other exterior differentiation.
Perhaps the Hellcat engine, but with a more refined exhaust note somehow.
The Imperial 300L

yeah but theyd still have to sell it next to a pacifica and whatever 200s they still have lying around the lot

They might try, but being FCA, they’d still pull all the trim pieces out of a Dodge Dart and then sit around wondering why nobody’s buying one.

Haha, true. Or alongside Alfas and Fiats. Alongside an Alfa could’ve done the trick, but the unreliability has reared its ugly head in a big way.

The 200's are being rounded up and burnt as a fuel source. That is the highest value they can provide.

What about this, but as a coach built model. Like an independent shop that manufactures these from bare 300s. Limited run, each one built to order. But try and keep it under 100k.
How’s the 300 doing? You like the v6? I think I already asked about the millage. Seriously considering one once the Ranger dies. Part of me wants the Hemi just to have a hemi, but the v6 sounds like it’s enough power and has a substantial MPG benefit.
