btw: the styling is bringing back the Original 300s from the 50s and 60s...they all had big grilles, so they brought that back after the radical departure they had with the 300M
I despise Chrysler because of their seeming lack of reliability. Please tell me why a brand new Grand Cherokee stickered well over $40k should have window trim falling off the car, power steering failing as it drove off the lot, and a seat cushion detached from the seat frame?


I think saying Chrysler has the "best engines" is a bit off. Until recently with their new Hemi and SRT-4, the vast majority of their cars were grossly overweight and underpowered.


Style? IMO the SRT4 is quite possibly the ugliest little 4-door produced. It ranks right up there with the Echo. Sure its fast, but its been beat with the Chrysler ugly stick.

The Ram Rumblebee...don't even get me started on that rear "ground effects" piece hanging underneath the rear of the car at least 8-inches forward of the rear bumper.

The new Durango looks like a Caravan.

The Intrepid just looks like a generic 4-door and has absolutely no style.


Although I do like the direction they are moving with the Crossfire and the 300C, the only problem is their other vehicles are moving in the complete opposite direction. You have "revolutionary" styling with the Crossfire, yet look at the new Durango's stay puft marsmellow man styling. What gives? As my brother said, it looks more and more like a Caravan with each "restyling".

Other manufacturers such as Toyota or Ford carry similar styling cues across the entire brand spectrum, Chrysler doesn't seem to keep anything consistent.



But of course styling is subjective. What I think looks good (i.e. the xB), others think is disgusting. So I guess there is really no point in arguing over who makes the "best looking" car.
