I thought this and Grand Cherokee was going to be delayed because Daimler was still trying to f**k them over by not supplying some critical parts…Did they work this out yet?

Great work LLN, five photos of the camo bra. Thanks.

That doesn’t look like a new car to me. Aft of the nose mask it’s the current generation. Unless it’s a mule, this isn’t the new car. Please don’t tell me they’re giving the old car another face lift before the new one comes out.

Wow, seeing one of these in the world that isn’t sitting on the side of a road dead is a spy shot in itself!

GM. An American Revolution

Its too bad, I wish chrysler planned to do more to the outside of this thiing than a new front clip/rear clip and sheetmetal freshening… the big change on the interior will be nice and all… but get some balls and give us a redesign!

this may have some of the old 300s sheet metal in other areas and have the new body platform under it because this is the same sheet metal on the sides as the current i would hope they change that up a bit.

I hope they get rid of the 2.7L and they can get 30mpg out of the the new 3L Phoenix with around 220-240hp. I would rather see the new charger as i think it going to look a good bit different then the current one dose

All of you should read more carefully. They say right in the article that it is a 2011 front end grafted on to a current generation 300C to conduct airflow testing. This is not the new car. Just the front end. As for NMOFGM, we noticed you were gone. Sad to see you back.

MurcieMe, READ the article

eff!Fifty , READ th article.

Like Drew says at the beginning of the article it’s just good to see signs of life. According to Mr. Marchionne precious little was done in the way of R&D under Cerberus’ reign, and the more it became clear that a change of ownership or worse was inevitable even less still was accomplished. Under a different set of circumstances the new 300/Charger and Grand Cherokee would be on sale now as would the Phoenix V6. So don’t kid yourself… they’re going as fast as they can now that they have actual direction as opposed to a just a corporate nanny.

I can’t wait to see this car… but yes it had better be more than just a mild refresh. Sales of the current model are stagnant and you can’t blame the price of gas this time.

I don’t want to actually READ the article Mr. 150! I just want to look at pretty pictures!

Hey guys, can I join this circle jerk? Last one relieving himself has to drive this ****box home.

Me see picaatures me comment me no reeeed. Unbelievable

Mercie, you have to read the article to understand its just a mule for airflow testing!

-iluvamcars

Spg900, READ my post. Then, look at Chryslers rendering, then notice the car looks practically the same as the current gen, except for a new front clip, a new rear clip, and some sheetmetal refreshening. Everything aft of the camo is obviously current gen 300. I’ve read the article you dumba$$

Murcieme, I forgive u, gotta love the pics!

any one feel like the camo would screw up test of aerodynamics it no skin tight and wound’t that be different then the not camoed front end

eff1Fifty-If you read the article you could know that they stuck the 2011 model’s nose on to the current model to test airflow. Why would they create a completely new 2011 prototype just for airflow testing?

-iluamcars

It’s about time something leaked out of Chrysler. Can’t wait to see spy shots of the new Charger and where is the 200C?

Aye Caramba ppl! Read what I’m writing here! I didn’t say that they need a whole 2011 for airclow testing. I said that the next gen will be boring!!!! Read the post, look at the chrysler CGI rendering! DON’T LOOK AT THE AIRFLOW TESTING PICS! HOW MUCH OF A CHANGE DO U SEE BETWEEN THE CGI RENDERING AND THE CURRENT GEN??? Not much except for: NEW FRONT CLIP. NEW REAR CLIP, AND SHEETMETAL REFRESHENING, OTHERWISE IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME DAMN CAR! And that is not very exciting.

READ, don’t glance, speed read, perouse, flip thru, check out, or breeze thru… READ IT!

MAN, sorry guys… now that that is off my chest, Yes Worst 3 I’m with u, u would think airflow would require a surface that didn’t billow in the wind… but I guess they know what they are doing (on the test mule based off of the current gen 300 C SRT8 with a front clip of the 2011 300 which is being used for airflow testing as it says in the above article that I READ before I made my first freaking post!)

@eff1fifty

A rendering is just that, a rendering. We have no idea just how different it is going to be once it does come out.

CEO Sergio Marchionne reportedly sent designers back to the drawing board when he saw the 2011 300C, demanding a more distinctive look. – allpar.com

BuyUSA, thank u for that info. I was under the impression that chrysler was still going in that. Direction with their product since that was the rendering they submitted to the Auto Task Force outlining what the product lineup was going to be. That, and I haven’t seen any other credible pics/drawings/renderings since then. Like u said, its about time we see some movement

You’re all focusing on cosmetics — the big story is the 8-speed auto tranny.

For the record, the editor of Car and Driver (might be wrong about which publication) was given opportunity to see the new 300/Charger, and he proclaimed it the most stunning mainline sedan on the planet..bar none. This is why Fiat has publicly stated that Chrysler is well suited with new product in the large sedan category. I’m looking forward to seeing the new vehicle!

Um, eff1Fifty, its an evolutionary redesign, not a revolutionary redesign. The 300 was such a knock out when it was introduced that im sure Chrysler doesn’t want to stray to far from a good thing. Now relax, Chrysler knows what they are doing, they have plenty of balls.

wow, i got high hopes for this car.

Just a facelift? I thought it was a whole redesign. This caar could be an updated Srt-8 based on the rims.

eh,… how ’bout waiting to see the actual official car before making judgement? happens all the time…this is just a mule…!

The vehicle that marked the return of the great American car in 2004 now has the distinguished title of the most-awarded new car in automotive history

Awards
The 300C was the 2005 Motor Trend Car of the Year and was on Car and Driver’s Ten Best list for 2005 and 2006. It also won the North American Car of the Year and Canadian Car of the Year Best New Luxury Car awards. According to a 1998 Chrysler advertisement, the 300 is the most-awarded new car ever.

The 1991 300 really looks like what new High Priced Hybrid?

LOL DB9 … “u won’t like me when I’m angry”

Read the article

2011 300 and Charger are stunning sedans…

you should not be expecting the 8speed transmission when the cars comes out in 2011. THe 5 speed will probaly be around for a bit longer and the 8 coming out later.

eff150- I reread your initial post. You still can’t read…….dumba$$ !

Fiat 500’s spotted in Michigan. Big things are coming, just wait a year.

http://www.allpar.com/news/index.php/2009/10/fiat-500-spotted-in-michigan-with-manufacturer-plates

It should be noted….

Those new V6 engines are no longer going to be called ‘Phoenix’.

They’re going to be called ‘Pentastar’.

Unless FIAT as changed it’s mind and gone BACK to ‘Phoenix’.

“…side of the road dead”???

Wife’s 300c SRT8 had just ONE issue EVER! Leaking CV joint on the front rack. That’s it! At 50k miles, runs as sweet as ever.

http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/4899/dscf4455aa8.jpg

This looks like the srt-8. Will they bring this back as well?

If this was “This modestly camouflaged mule likely has the 2011 front end grafted onto a current 300C SRT8 body to conduct airflow testing.” Then why it is cover! How will they do AIRFLOW test with covers!
They should satisfy with indoor test if they dont want us to see it.

Spg900… I’m gonna take ur mother out for a nice steak dinner… AND NEVER CALL HER BACK

She doesn’t like steak ! She loves fish though.

That is not the new 300c. Leftlane should know that. That is just a custom front fascia to a 300c SRT8. Why they covered it? beats me. But you can clearly see it isn’t new. The brakes, rims, and the body type is the same as the current srt8.

Aww, how cute! It dressed as a G8 for Halloween.

Man you guys sound like a bunch of High School girls!!! Ever think that maybe, just maybe Chrysler is allowing an aftermarket company design a lower body kit and will grease the palm of the CEO since his pay is now regulated under OBAMA CHANGE!!!????!!! Hahaha ( Hey Detroit Democrats you voted for change!!!!!!)
