I saw this one at the autoshow, i was not at all impressed. It doesn't look that good, its got a good amount of power but it still uses FWD. If it was RWD or AWD then it might be a little better.

 

ugly looks like a durango mini me

 

[X(]i think i am going to be sick... that is fugly

 

it is AWD...but there is a FWD option...the srt4 model, when released, will be AWD

 

I kinda like it.

 

barf thats even worse than those damn pacificas

 

Another thing the presenter didn't tell me. They don't know squat i've learned.

 

right now, and at the detroit auto show, they only had the base model, SXT, and RT...and i believe that right now, you can only get AWD on the RT and SRT4...but depending on the take rate of the AWD models, and depending also on market trends, i wouldnt be surprised to see the AWD offered on the other models...

This is kind of unrelated, but here it is anyway. I was talking to one of the sales reps at the Chrysler exhibit about the 300C. I was asking him about the difference between the RWD model and the AWD model. He said that the AWD models don't really sell as well as the RWD models, in fact he said that something like 10% of 300C sales in his dealership are the AWD model. But then again, i doubt too many people are gonna rally in thier 300Cs.
