Will this end up being the new C or Sebring? I'm thinking C since it is RWD and the new one is due for 2011 (MY2012?). I'm thinking it might not be the Sebring since I've yet to hear when it is suppose to arrive and also that the fact that the concept is RWD. We saw how well the RWD Airflite translated to a FWD Sebring. I would hope that they would not make that same mistake. Plus, would the C be about the size of the 5-series? Looking at some of the Autoblog pics, it looks like it maybe sitting on a LX-ish chassis judging from the front suspension.

Either way, the car looks amazing!

 

Looks like concept to show off the styling of the next 300. It looks great...a nice change from the block look of the current car.

 

It says "300C" on the trunk. Man, detroit is on a roll, this is another great looking car! I don't like the color of it, but the 60's-ish Corvette-esqe interior looks kinda cool. The seats are fugly, they kinda look like aliens? I'd like to see a lot of this styling go straight to production, overall great looking car!

 

This car looks REAL promising.
Just put a real interior in it. And by that I mean traditional gauges and switchgear, real seats, and carpeting on the floor.

Nice to FINALLY see Chrysler dump the slab-sided, chopped top, gutslit window look. That got real old, real fast.

Looks like a winner to me.

 

Great looking car..

 

Looks great

I see 200C....http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/g...-1280_0028.jpg

 

Ooops, next time I'll read the article too

 

I like it. Too bad the concept didn't show off a production capable interior.

 

I was kinda wondering how the 300c would evolve styling wise...
It didn't look like they could really expand on the old styling, but this looks good.

 

Kind of reminds me of a better looking Nassau.

192.1 inches long and 73.6 inches wide is nearly a size class down on the 300C and Charger -- right in the pack of midsize sedans. What a great way to fix the Sebring! Make a beautiful RWD car at the same size. Hopefully take a bit of weight off the 300, put in an efficient Phoenix V6, and voila!

This is the first Chrysler in years whose styling I actually like (how ironic that the first Chrysler platform since the 70s that I liked -- the LX -- was the first Chrysler with the gangster styling that I never have been able to warm to). They even toned down the chopped top look. I just hope the company survives long enough to bring it to market.

 

I don't see how you can see this as a class size down. It is slightly smaller than the 300, but slightly bigger than the Sebring. What is the real give away is that it sits on a 116" wheel base which is the same as the Challenger. I really think we are looking at the redesign on the 300. Put a production interior in it and your ready to go. Except for the headlights, the exterior looks production ready.

Nassau, if I remember right, was rumored to be the styling direction of the next 300 when it debuted.

Edit: Sigh, I regress. After doing some looking around, it looks like this is probably the Sebring replacement as it is known in Spain as the 200. I still can't wait to see the redesign on the 300/Charger.

 

Probaly the same styling you will see on both the 300 and Sebring replacement. Kinda how like the Avenger looks like a Charger's crack baby.

 

Yeah, I think we're looking styling cues for the next 300 as well as the Sebring. What I'm wondering is if the next Sebring will really be RWD, or is that just a tease. They'd have the mid-size below lux RWD market to themselves. I'm not sure how big that is, but given that they're likely only to get a tiny sliver of the mid-size FWD market, maybe it's worth a shot.

 

This is coming from a guy that generally doesn't like Chrysler Products: That thing looks pretty damn good. :thumbup:
