They built the srt-4 (neon) and srt-10 (Ram pick-up) , why wouldnt they build the srt-8.
#12 of 1877 300N by chryslerguy Mar 22, 2003 (10:36 pm)
Has anyone seen pictures of the next 300N, not the 300 LX or "New Yorker" If that is what it will be called?
#13 of 1877 Chrysler is improving by algie_fawkes Mar 26, 2003 (11:32 am)
Please...in the face of recent news, please don't say that Chrysler is any less reliable than Mercedes. Yes, I am perfectly sane. CR rated Chrysler equal to BMW and ABOVE Mercedes in reliability this year. And from reliable sources I have heard that dealers are complaining that they aren't getting enough warranty work. Face it--Chrysler is doing better. They even got a quality control guy from Toyota, the industry leader in reliability. Why did he leave Toyota? Because he wanted to work for a company that did exciting things...and that's what we will expect from Chrysler.   by the way, you can go to the Allpar forums at www.allpar.com, where I am known as "eaglecars." They have a news & rumors forum that's pretty active.
#14 of 1877 LX-body Chrysler pic by a_l_hubcaps Mar 26, 2003 (2:13 pm)
http://www.car-truck.com now has a [rather poor] undisguised pic of a Chrysler LX-body sedan. It looks pretty good, in my opinion, though it's a very radical departure from the Concorde and 300M. I'll be interested to see some more pics when the official ones come out.   -Andrew L
#15 of 1877 LX Pic by kosh_2258 Mar 26, 2003 (5:42 pm)
Obviously targeted at a different market than the current car. Thanks, but no thanks - I'm not into "bricks" with wheels. Time to start the hunt for a new brand of vehicle.
#16 of 1877 by algie_fawkes Mar 28, 2003 (4:36 am)
I have to agree. I love the new brick car for what it is, but I would want a sleeker, cab-forward car for myself. At least something that is an evolution of the 300M. But, don't gripe yet...there are more designs on the way. anyhow, the April autoshow should have some new stuff for us to see.
#17 of 1877 CR reports by qualityguy Mar 28, 2003 (10:23 am)
So what? I believe they have rated Hyundai and Honda the same also...
#18 of 1877 The notion doesn't bother me, just the execution by kosh_2258 Mar 28, 2003 (1:04 pm)
I know what Chrysler is trying to do, I just think they went way too far with it.   They are trying to recapture the unique American look in a contempory car but they've overshot the mark. Their glass ratio is too low. The Magnum has potential but needs to be smoothed out and slimmed up some. They need to shoot for the mid 60's proportions, not the mid-late 50's they pursued.
#19 of 1877 Don't rush to judgment by indydriver Mar 28, 2003 (5:58 pm)
You haven't even seen the vehicles yet. The Magnum will definitely get "smoothed out" just like all concepts do on their way to production. The last issue of C&D has a great article on the Crossfire's evolution from concept to production. Even though the theme of the article was how little it changed, it still changed a lot. The Magnum will be fantastic. No one has seen enough of the new 300 to tell anything.
#20 of 1877 Seen the Magnum, seen the Airflite by kosh_2258 Mar 29, 2003 (6:19 am)
The direction is obvious.   Yes, I read the Magnum is something like 89% of what the production vehicle will look like. The C&D article on it was less than convincing stating that clinic participants described it as "tanklike". I also know that in recent years Chrysler production cars vary little from their "concepts" too. The production Crossfire is different from the concept to be sure, but then again it's nothing more than an MB CLK in Chrysler clothes. It's rear end styling has already been compared to a 60's AMC Marlin.   There are some things that simply will not change because of structural considerations and production lead times, the glass ratio is one of them. The doors ARE going to be tall and the glass short.   As for seeing the LX or not seeing the LX that's not relevant. I know what I've seen so far, I know what I like and what I don't like.   I don't care for the direction DC is taking with the LX based on the samples revealed so far. I've also explained why I don't. Will my opinion change anything? Nope, and I don't expect it will. But I will express it none the less. If you agree OK. If you disagree that's your privilege too.   The ultimate decision will be in the market place regardless of anyones opinion.
