300

 

A high-performance 300C SRT8 was recently added to this line of elegantly styled sedans that packs a high-output 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 and is mated to a five-speed automatic gearbox with manual-shift capability. This engine is rated at a mighty 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque and allows the car to go from 0-to-60 mph in the low-five-second range. Suspension upgrades contribute to a sportier handling, and the SRT-8 rides on huge 20-inch wheels and tires. The base model offers a 190-horsepower 2.7-liter V-6 and a four-speed automatic transmission, and is best suited for rental car status. Meanwhile, the Touring and Limited models come with a more pleasing 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 that should suit most buyers, and add traction and stability control systems, and brake assist, among other amenities. The 300C version includes a 340-horsepower version of the HEMI V-8 and the five-speed gearbox, though this tends to weigh the car down a bit. Both rear- and all-wheel-drive versions are available with all but the base and SRT8 versions. Minor updates for 2006 include mating the five-speed automatic to the 3.5-liter V-6 (as a rolling change sometime after the first 2006 models roll off the line), a tire pressure monitor added to C and SRT8 models, and the display of more prominent HEMI badging (an increase of 45 percent in the badge's size). The 300's counterparts at sister company Dodge are the Charger sedan and the Magnum station wagon.

A sinewy alternative to the big bad American sedan.
