Chrysler-love
October 5, 2008“She’s a beauty!” he whistled.
I looked up from the book I was reading, ready to give the husband an earful for shamelessly ogling (and worse, praising) another female. Imagine my amusement when I realized he was referring to the chrysler 300. Silver and sleek, the car is indeed a beauty. Forget ostentatious. The car is retro in design and all-American in its appeal. It’s a fresh take on the classic sedan formula - large, in charge, encased in provocative sheetmetal, and more importantly, attractively priced.
The chrysler 300 was introduced in 2005. The model the hub is drooling over, however, is the most recent one. The 2008 version comes with upgrades and they’re not minor ones, mind you. They have side airbags, an optional Sirius Backseat TV, softer surfaces, and a reconfigured instrument panel. There are other good things about the 2008 model, too. It has an amazingly roomy interior and a dramatic exterior. It provides good handling, excellent drive quality, and powerful acceleration.
So what’s the catch? Most good things always have a catch. In the case of the chrysler 300, we were able to spot only one: fuel consumption. Obviously, its powerful acceleration comes at a trade-off, and at a time and place where fuel costs an arm and a leg, that is a costly trade-off indeed.
Still, I’d have to agree with the husband. The chrysler 300 might not be avant-garde in design nor a striking, attention-grabbing red in color. But demme, she is a beauty!
