Car of the Year
"The Chrysler 300 is an extremely compelling combination of power, responsiveness, room and refinement," said Angus MacKenzie, editior-in-chief of Motor Trend.
"A homerun on significance, a slam dunk on value, and clearly superior to its rivals in every way, the Chrysler 300 is truly deserving of the 2005 Motor Trend Car of the Year award. In a market filled with so many outstanding vehicles, Motor Trend seeks to identify brilliance."
Inspiration Comes Standard
The original 1955 Chrysler 300 was the first to combine HEMI® power with luxury and comfort. Today's Chrysler 300 is a proud successor to those legendary cars, with unprecedented levels of comfort, performance, and sophisticated amenities.
