Filed under: Motorsports , Chrysler , Australia Wherever you find General Motors and Ford going at it, Chrysler is seldom very far behind. Except in Australia.

Review: 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 [w/video]

Filed under: Sedan , Performance , Chrysler , Luxury Imported From Detroit And Then Some To the average driver, the term “horsepower” has, for all intents and purposes, no meaning whatsoever. Not surprising, really, as there isn’t any single established explanation, at least not a good one, as to how today’s piston-powered engines became so intertwined with the output of a horse. Think, for a moment: Can you really quantify how much power 200 horses produce? Regardless, and though not all engines have been measured with the same methods of certification, enthusiasts of the four-wheeled kind have well over a century of automobiles and their attendant horsepower ratings with which to occupy themselves.

Official: Chrysler 300 gets even cushier with new Luxury Series

Filed under: Sedan , Chrysler , Luxury Despite major improvements, public perception still lingers that most American luxury sedans don’t quite approach the level of refinement and equipment offered by their imported competitors. And so it follows that Chrysler models fall shy of Lincoln and Cadillac , especially because their pricing is less dear. But the latest announcement from Auburn Hills aims to close that perception – and pricing – gap ever so gently. Whereas in the past, the Pentastar automaker may have tried to sell the buying public on terms like “Corinthian leather” to sell their luxury automobiles, today, all it has to do is call up its friends (read: corporate overlords) in Italy to get some top-quality Potrona Frau leather (usually found in Maserati and top-of-the-line Alfa Romeo models) and hand-sanded wood trim sent over.
