The mighty Chrysler 300 returns to its roots by bringing back the SRT8 for 2012. It’s equipped with a 6.4L V8 that pumps 470 hp and 470 lbs.-ft. of torque! A 5.7L V6 and a 3.6L V6 are also available. AWD is now available with all engine options, whereas it used to be limited to the V8 versions.
Pros
- Great agility (and self-confidence) for a car of this size
- Passenger compartment on par with Buick or Lincoln
- Tremendously smooth new Pentastar V6
- The pleasure of rear-wheel drive
- Features almost all of the latest technologies
Cons
- Honestly, who likes that grille?
- While we wait, it still has the five-speed automatic
- Wide gaps between the exterior panels
- For now, only the V8 version comes with AWD
