Quite frankly I'm a bit disappointed with Chrysler's resurrection of the
letter car. Most obviously, it's a four-door... and has the same
drive-train as the LHS. (OK, there's an optional transmission you can get)
I wish they would have waited for a 300hp powerplant and put it in a
awesome 2-door bodystyle. (Something to go after Lexus SC buyers) That's
what I think a 300 letter car for the millenium should be.
Chrysler crapped on the 300 namesake when they introduced the 300-Sport
series in '62. I'm afraid their latest effort falls into the same marketing
strategy despite the retro 1955 Bob Roger commercials.
A sedan letter-car?... without any extra horses?... What were they
thinking??????
