On the heels of Chrysler’s announcement that it won’t build a production version of the Imperial concept car, the automaker says that it plans to build more 300s at its Brampton, Ontario, plant. Chrysler plans to build export versions of the 300 in Brampton, which makes a diesel 300 for North America a distinct possibility.
Chrysler will take over some production of the 300, which has seen success in Europe and elsewhere. The Detroit News reports that Chrysler will build both right- and left-hand drive versions of the 300 in Brampton. Most 300s sold overseas are diesels, so Chrysler will assemble them in Ontario, as well.
Although purely speculation at this point, there is a possibility that the increased production capacity could spell a diesel 300 for sale in the United States and Canada.

Bring it on. Diesels are our friends. By the way, has anybody ever seen the LWB version of this car on the road? I’ve never seen one.

I would appreciate the 650lb-ft Cummins with AWD as an option. Maybe call it the Chrysler 300HD. We might sell one.

Now that the Imperial is getting the axe, I think they should change a few panels on the car and put a totally different interior in the 300 and call it the Imperial 300, with a 10k price jump. You know some fools would buy. For that to work the new interior would have to be able to compete with Lexus and MB. Can they do it? I dunno

Huh? They won’t build the Imperial supposedly due to new fuel economy standards, but then expand 300C production??? I call shenanigans on Chrysler…

A diesel engine would kill the competition right there. Just do it!

The 300C factories have been working overtime major to build this thing. Its a huge seller whether you guys like ‘em or not. This is a wise move for chrysler, bring the diesel Chrysler. No longer will Daimler hold you down ARISE!

Karkat.. what you smoking? The day that those idiots at Chrysler can make a MB/Lexus interior, pigs will be flying.
This could be one of the smartest moves by Chrysler in a long time.. but thats not saying a lot. All profits should go into R&D, that would be another smart move for them.

bran. There’s no such thing as an MB/L—s interior. Chrysler can make opn or the other, I suggest they imitate the REAL luxury car and not the toyota.
