Reviews SummaryThe Chrysler 300 is available in four trim levels—Limited, 300S, 300C, and 300C Platinum—with a choice of either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive across the lineup. Engine choices include a 3.6-liter V6 or a 5.7-liter V8, both of which get paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. No matter which 300 you choose, you’ll get a bold and luxurious large sedan with plenty of power. | |
Reviews SummaryAs the dissonant chords of Dieselgate still resonate throughout the industry, most car companies have abandoned efforts toward any future diesel-powered cars. A $15 billion fine will have that sort of chilling effect. But Chevrolet has taken a different approach, instead seeing the mass retreat from diesel as an opportunity to fill a void. As the driver Jean-Pierre Sarti said in Frankenheimer’s 1966 epic “Grand Prix”: “When I see something really horrible, I put my foot down. Hard! Because I know that everyone else is lifting his.” | |
