Chrysler Unveils New 300 Flagship Sedan

Limo drivers may think of Cadillac and Lincoln as the two American luxury marques, but we wouldn't could Chrysler out of the running just yet. The company is making a comeback, and has just revealed its new top-of-the-line model.

Like the model it replaces, it's called the Chrysler 300. A slew of improvements have been made over the outgoing model, including a restyled exterior with LED headlamps and even more chrome than before for a classier look.

The car will be officially unveiled next month at the Detroit Auto Show, after which sales will open with a choice of Pentastar V6 or Hemi V8 engines driving the rear wheels or all four.

While waiting on a new generation of shared platforms with its new corporate partners at Fiat, Chrysler is holding on with a series of special packages for some of its most popular Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler-brand products. Among them, at the top of the line, sits the new Chrysler 300 S, unveiled at this year's Detroit auto show.

The new trim is mostly an appearance package, available in both S6 (with the 250hp 3.5-liter V6) and S8 (340hp 5.7-liter Hemi V8) guises. Both get a new grille, darkened headlamp bezels, sleeker door panels, side mirror housings and polished 20" wheels. Inside there are new leather sport seats, carbon-fiber trim, red top-stitching and 300 S logos stitched into various surfaces. The new package should help the five-year-old 300, based on the old Mercedes E-Class platform, carry on a few more years until its replacement arrives.
