As I look at it more, I like it, but Chrysler is not in a position to compete with Mercedes. Recently, Mercedes has been advertising power, and Chrysler needs to find a new niche. Until Chrysler straightens up its business, it needs to maintain lower goals, like beating Japanese brands in luxury instead of aiming for the top. To compete with Mercedes is ridiculous for a company that just got sold. I'm sure this car will target others in its class. The first thing Chrysler needs to do is cut some weight from its models so that they can perform. The second thing is to remove weak engines and replace them with powerful engines. The third thing they need to do is improve the ride quality. The fourth suggestion I have for Chrysler is to offer accessories to increase their profit margin like Scion and GMPP do. Chrylser will sell this car if the cards are played right. This is a big improvement from the awkward front end of the current 300 that looks like a cheap Phantom knock-off—and not a good one.
