I don't much like the 300 but many do including all the car writers. The Neon replacement will probably blow away anything that GM offers from what I've heard and read. The PT Cruiser is another example of a car that attracted the public. Chrysler seems to have a knack for producing cars that are out of the mainstream and impressing the people who write about them. I've always heard (and read on various Chrysler forums) that reliability was a major problem. I wouldn't buy a Chrysler product (the last good ones were made around 1966 IMO) but they seem to be able to anticipate what people want to drive.

Chrysler has always been the front runner when it comes to creating vehicles that people want to buy. RAM truck, 300C, PT Cruiser, Jeep Grand Cherokee to name a few. They leads in styling department even though they borrowed from others most of the times.
It amazed me to see quite a few Chrysler 300C in LA 's high rent neighborhoods. These are places where every family seems to own a Bimmer or a Merc.
GM still has a way to go yet in the stlying department. They has done a wonderful job on interior design. Now if they could make the Impala exterior just as exciting as the 300C, then GM fortune will turn around. Stop copying the Japanese or even European stylings. Nothing wrong with American design (just look at the 300).

I second that. Those are accurate for these full size cars which Fusion isn't...
