Esquire is not only the first publication out the gate with a "Car of the year" list, they're also the first to fall flat on its face. Hearst's man mag spread the SEO love around, picking some commendable choices — like the Audi A7 as car of the year, and the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon as family car of the year. More »

Tom Joslin — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 16:00:00 EDT

Whither The 300C-To-Fake-Rolls Conversion Industry?

Justin Hyde — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 10:00:00 EDT

Yesterday's uncovering of the 2011 Chrysler 300C set our commenters to photochopping, but it raised a serious question: What of the craftsmen who convert today's 300Cs into Diamonique Rolls Royces? How will they pursue their operatic passion? (H/t to Steve!) More »

You Say You Want To Know That '63 Chrysler's History?

Murilee Martin — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 14:00:00 EDT

Sometimes a classic car's for-sale listing includes a bunch of boring stuff about the regular maintenance performed by its original owner… and sometimes you get the tale of a gelatin-encased carburetor named after a cat. More »

1962 Chrysler 300

Murilee Martin — Wed, 14 May 2008 09:00:00 EDT

Remember the '62 New Yorker we saw nearly a year ago? We all liked its evil-beater look, but these cars looked pretty good when nice and shiny, too. It was quite a find when I spotted this '62 in the island's East End, parked in the exact spot in which the 1971 Chevy Blazer normally parks. I see the Chrysler parked there every once in a while, never at the same time as the Blazer, so I suspect they're owned by the same person. More »

Starbucks Coffee Shop Takes A Chrysler 300 Break

Ben Wojdyla — Wed, 07 May 2008 16:40:00 EDT

Patrons at a Bellingham, Washington Starbucks got quite the surprise yesterday when a 2008 Chrysler 300 driven by an elderly man crashed through the floor to ceiling window and across the shop. Five people were injured in the incident, though none seriously, and the driver is facing a charge of second degree negligent driving. Fortunately for us, a table was embedded in the grille and it makes it look like the 300 is sticking it's tongue out. We're assuming the injured will be suing for millions to cover the cost of spilled coffee. (Hat tip to R_Evolution) More »

DUB Edition Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, Please Make It Stop

Ben Wojdyla — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:45:00 EDT

Sweet quarts of Pennzoil, why must every automaker jump on bandwagons they have no business being on? Chrysler, the reason people put DUB wheels and parts on their cars is to be unique and stand out from the crowd. By partnering with DUB for the 2008 DUB Edition Chrysler 300 Touring and 2008 DUB Edition Dodge Charger SXT, you're missing the point. Now you have two underpowered cars, with largely unremarkable styling, and overblown Kicker sound systems that will be replaced anyway. Has everyone at Chryslerberus taken crazy pills? More »

2011 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger To Remain Rear-Wheel Drive, Get Makeover

Ray Wert — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:30:00 EST

It's no news that the 300's been a hit for Chrysler — and we here at the Jalop obviously are fans of the Dodge Charger SRT8, and the new Dodge Challenger's certainly got itself a purdy mouth. But there's potentially going to be some fuel economy issues inherent with a RWD, Hemi-powered platform given the current desire by Washington to focus toward beating up automakers and away from a more common-sensical Euro approach to increasing fuel economy. So what's the three-headed dog-owned car company going to do? According to the website for the lovers, the dreamers and me the answer is — not a whole lot. More »
