TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Chevrolet Impala hits the big-car target with handsome lines, composed handling, and on-point connectivity.

With its big footprint, big shoulders, and big V-8 power, the 2017 Chrysler 300 is an aging but charming sedan.

TCC Likes

A smashing redesign
Infotainment is on point
No SS badge, but the V-6 feels like it

Bold, American style
Gutsy V-8
Smooth, fuel-efficient V-6

TCC Dislikes

Manual-shift mode is at arm's length
Too many cooks in the cockpit design kitchen
Back-seat head room and support need attention

No SRT performance models available
All-black cabins on most models can be somber
Dash plastics attract dust
