    The rise of crossovers is what killed the 300. Chrysler's stagnation as well as the death of Sergio Marchionne may have also played a role. I wouldn't call the cars forgotten, the hemi's are nice and the SRT8 is the one to get.

I bought a 2nd gen 300 in 2014 but had loads of problems, guess it was the Fiat engine (3l diesel) that let it down as the problems were always mechanical.
    Chopped it in for a Kia Stinger in the end and I'm loving that too.

      They weren't the same shits exactly though. Those magnums were cool. People bitch and whatever but those overly powered soccer wagons were just too much for the typical run of the mill simple bitch. They were silly but a top notch upgrade to the wood wagons of yester days.

    Years ago, I lived in Florida. A guy I knew there was causing me all sorts of problems. He was very arrogant and a bully, even though he was about 5 feet tall. One day he showed up with his new Chrysler 300. Shortly after that, he parked his 300 too far against a tire stop in a parking lot. The 300 had such a low front end that it got caught on the tire stop and when he reversed out of the parking spot, it tore his front end up very badly. He apparently took the loss on his 300 and got a different car instead. I still remember how funny it was seeing his Chrysler 300 with its front end torn up.

    The 2nd gen 300 SRT8 was used by some Aussie police forces as a highway patrol car.
    Certainly sounded good

    At ~12:45, you completely miss the reason for the sales drops in 2008 & 2009: the '08 GFM, when the world economy came to an abrupt stop due to the US real estate bubble popping.

    a first gen 300c that's actually clean is still hard though.
    the first gen charger aged like mayonnaise in the sun however.

      They're both dreadfully cheap looking, but at least the charger wasn't a straight up wannabe Bentley like the 300.

      Disagree. GM had the SSR and the Cadillac XLR during this era. The C6 Corvette design was also ridiculous at the time. It was like seeing a Ferrari. Sort of like how the C8 was in 2020.

    One pronunciation comment: Lancia Thema is pronounced “LAHN cha” “TAY ma”. I should clarify, I suppose, that’s the Italian pronunciation and not the Americanized “version”. Much like its never PORSH (Porsche), it’s always “POOR sha”
    Just sayin’ 😉

    To me the end of the Chrysler 300 and it’s Dodge counter parts signifies a death knell to front engine, real wheel drive cars.
    Along with the KIA Stinger. Cars built on the LX Platform where the only rear wheel drive sedan/saloons ( I can think off) for sale from none luxury brand.
