OMG

Considered a new 2011 300 at a great deal, test drove the 2012, stopped considering a new 2011, traded in my 08 300 for the new 300 S. This car has it all (except the back up camera, but you should be able to add an aftermarket). Really, if I would have settled for the 2011, I really would be hating myself right now. No, it doesn't have the big grill like the previous models, but it is definitely refined, up to date, ahead of its competitors, and a dream to drive. Walking up to it a night, hitting that remote start, watching those Audi style lights come to life and seeing the dash light up with that electric blue- OMG. The room, the comfort, the performance, the luxury...I can't think of another car in this price range that comes close to this work of art. Chrysler has done it again.

300 L

Just leased a deep brown tan interior leather 300 L V6 RWD for my wife. After 1 month of driving her comments are: Its better than her CTS Cadillac, drives in snow like a dream, strong passing power, incredibly simple to use NAV, blue tooth phone calls, SAT radio, luxury is unbelievable. For her discriminating tastes to like a vehicle this much, for a lease under $350 a month, I have to write about it. Not one gap issue on this soft, plush interior, IS THIS A CHRYSLER ? Im impressed.

The Joys of a Pentastar and 8 Speeds

Was very close to buying a 2011 Chrysler 300 Limited with the award winning Pentastar V6, AWD and ordering it with every option equalling a 300C (except for the Hemi V8, of course - making it a "C"). Fortunately, they were in such short supply that I was forced to order a 2012 model. WOW! What a difference a model year can make. I selected a black-on-black '12 Chrysler 300S (a new trim level) with the same potent and fuel efficient V6 and AWD, but with the all new 8 speed automatic transmission with manual shifting ability. The "S" trim can be had with either a V6 or V8, but the Pentastar 6 suits my driving needs perfectly, with an enormous improvement in gas mileage. The car is roomy, drives great, has a very compliant ride and far exceeds my expectations of a high quality, well put together and reliable luxury sports sedan. With every option, the car came far under the price of any of its compeitors. Go for the large panorama sunroof. Its like a convertible with none of the downsides.
