might not be the sexiest car out on the road, but it
is good looking and it’s easy to fall in love
with. In fact, it is more of a masculine car in which
you will feel safe and comfortable. Of course, the Hemi
and its 340 horses will give you a sense of power with
muscular grace. Just sitting in it feels good and brings
back memories of the big cruisers of the 70s —
but with today’s luxurious appointments and other
electronics added.
Despite the fact that the power under
the hood comes from Mexico and the final assembly takes
place in Canada, the 300C is unmistakably the ultimate
American Cruiser. Already, shop fans have engineered
many ways to lower it down, jack it up or take its top
off. As a result of this love affair, this model has
been quite successful for Chrysler.
Here’s
a run-down about these American cruisers: they are larger
than your average ride, have a huge trunk and plenty
of space inside. Now add an array of features like the
dual zone auto temp a/c unit, tortoise shell components
(plastic in this case) on the steering wheel and gear
shifter, power heated front seats, solar control glass
and auto adjusting exterior mirrors. In the end, it
is very quiet and smooth riding. In fact, it might the
quietest car we have driven this year. You get the feeling
you are in a top of the line euro sedan, but the price
will keep you grounded. As well, if you want the same
looks on a limited budget, for about $23,000, you can
have its V6-powered little brother!
