Best looking Chryslers?

I would express shock that its really Dan who is even posting here again... but with a list like that its GOTTA be him ;-)

Me either. A few times a 300 has parked beside my '95 LH. Oh my, what a contrast, a truck front end attached to a window squashed car, beside a lovely looking car. No contest.

Since you love the 300 why don't you see your Chrysler dealer and get a deal. I was just in to my Chrysler dealer today and saw piles of 300 & 300Cs waiting for someone to love them. Unfortunately no buyers in sight.

You are a Dummy, aren't you?

The 300 Hemi-C concept shown at several auto shows in the year 2000 was never made as a production car.

For christ sake people, have a look at these pics before you confuse that 300 Hemi-C concept with the rolling abortion that is the current production model 300:

I've always liked the M. great use of the LH bodies.

here's a stock photo of the 2000 concept.

isee some of the Current LX body 300 >

Speak up Lloyd - I can't hear you.

yeah i remember that charger concept. wasn't there rumors of that being hydrogen fuel cell or something??

It's curious how relatively often such a discussion crops up in this NG, and how many people wallow in the past...

Does this mean that Chrysler has produced nothing attractive for most people in this NG in the past 30 years...?...

I put the second-gen Intrepid, Concorde, and LHS on my "honorable mention" list.

You say "wallow" in the past, I say GLORY in the past. Cars used to be works of art, but the wind tunnel makes everything look pretty much the same... and pretty bland.

In my case, it means NOBODY has produced a truly attractive car in that time, apart from certain niche cars like the Viper. Compared to all the others mainstream automakers, I like Chrysler products of the last 20 years a lot (especially the LH series, the Magnum, PT Cruiser, and the Challenger). But none of them compare to, say, a '71 Plymouth GTX.

I disagree. Look at Jaguars. Maseratis. Aston-Martins. Mercedes coupes and roadsters. Too expensive? Look at the Mazda RX-8 and the new 6. Cadillac CTS.

Bland, bland, bland. Look at 70s Jaguars for styling.

Fugly

Nice, but fall in the same category as the Viper and for all the same reasons.

Blander than an 85 Ford Taurus. Mercedes have always been blandly styled, and the wind tunnel just makes it worse.

A little better than average, clever pickup-truck inspired rear doors, but not a great looker that will endure the test of time.

Everything bad about modern styling in one convenient package. Put that drivetrain in something pretty, and I'd be ALL over it.

all the owners i talk to tell me the rx8 doesn't get that great of mileage either, for a little 1.3 L

Aston-Martins bland?

What about some of the Alfa Romeos?

Of course not, its a Wankel. Efficiency isn't the objective, performance, light weight, and smoothness are. Wankels will never match piston engine efficiencies, just because of the fact that the fuel/air mix always has to sweep around the rotor chamber shedding precious heat energy to the cooling system all the way, instead of sitting in one spot and getting squeezed, burned, and expanded. Piston engines have gone back to "undersquare" designs to minimize combustion chamber surface area, the wankel effectively has a HUGE combustion chamber surface area by comparison.

No, I agree they're anything but bland. But they, like the Viper, are a very expensive niche vehicle.

Pretty nice, but give me an early '60s Alfa Duetto any day.

Crossfire Roadster Always gets 2 looks, stunning car and pretty unique looking
