Once again, my Moms boyfriends needs to borrow my underwear agin. I wish they would borrow a pair out of my dresser, but they always want the pair I’ve been wearing for 2 days. What’s up with that.

I hope this signals the direction Chrysler’s design is heading, as I also think the 300 is now looking dated. This car represents a fresh design style without going so far as to appear to be an updated LH.

And work on those mechanicals, too. I test drove a current Sebring V6 over the summer. If the cheap plastic interior doesn’t get you, the poor ride quality will. It was the least “tight” built vehicle I test drove, and believe me, I test drove a whole bunch this summer.

Jap Crap or Kraut is all they care about.

Whoops. Oh hey look! It looks uninspired, and wears a Chrysler badge! Yup. It’s a Chrysler concept.

The Generator is up front. The Engine is likely a motorcycle sized engine and that charges the battery and the runs the motor on the rear. The motor is probably around 200Kw or in the area of 275 hp. Well, in the realm of what has been discussed do far.

What was described above it the likely near-term production car.

Either way, they took some useful and hard lessons from the Imperial (You can see it in the 3/4 front view), 300 Coupe (the Fenders), and Nassau (tastefully “less can be more” and the grill layout) concept cars – plus a little BMW (the trunk lid mainly). there is barely a single bad angle on this car, like the Infiniti G coupe. The sedan looks good but looks a bit strange.

*Took a while to see the pictures. The site was running slow through my service.

I hope the next 300 takes the same lessons to heart.

Can’t wait to see what they will do for a CHRYSLER “100″. Hopefully they will drop the “PT” nameplate when their speculated redo is made on the Caliber platform.

I’d love to see them try to do a CHRYSLER “400″ just for show someday.

You guys have got to be high like planes!

This is the opposite from what I expected from Chrysler. This came out of nowhere, no pre-production design shots, extremely little information leaked.

Great looks. I thought it looked like the Insignia from the front, but some how, it carries a lot more class in it’s stride.

While many will and I would agree to the more reasonable comparisons. My first thought was I was looking at a dressed up Hyundai Genesis, but shortened to feel a bit like a Lexus IS350. Comparing it to an OPEL Insignia might feel about right though, given that car is not likely to come to the US, I can not complain to that.

CHRYSLER was known in the 1990s for making a concept car and bringing it to market very quickly. With few exceptions, not withstanding those that clearly were the product of unbridled imagination, that is what happened. That fell apart when MERCEDES-BENZ. But with the real need to make and move product, make a real identity for itself, and stop being a bit player, CHYRSLER is in a “do or die” position. They are not going to waste valuable time and resource on developing cars they have no intention of building when all they have to do is look out the window and see what we want.

zoomzoomer,

I gotta hope too that this car is NOT built on that platform. Frankly if they did and it got out, the stigma of the SEBRING and AVENGER would rub negatively on this car. Hopefully, stories of CHRYSLER not having engineers to pull something like this off are largely untrue and the car is on and would/will be built on a new smaller RWD/AWD platform, much in keeping with the Mercedes C-class maybe.

Then again, Maybe this was something they wanted to drop on us quickly and suddenly to grab maximum attention. But all they have to do is give a date certain for the car and that is all the press they will need.
