Chrysler 300
This strapping sedan continues to be competitive both mechanically and aesthetically. This year, various accessories packages, including the Alloy package, are available.

The base engine is a 292-horsepower, 3.6-litre V6, but the big, bad 5.7-litre HEMI V8 and its 363 horsepower are still present and accounted for. If you want all-wheel drive, you’ll have to opt for the V6.
