The Mercedes G-Wagon rides on a platform designed in the 70's. Platforms are irrelevant. Nothing more than a basic skeleton.

That "platform" is what makes the 300 ride so richly... Chrysler is SO damn lucky that it got the Mercedes underpinnings from it's time with Daimler!! All the service guys say so at the dealership!

Ahah you are funny

snazari1994 thank you, yes I am! As so many Chrysler haters in this topic are

I don't hate Chrysler but you can't compare Chrysler to Lexus or Acura.

snazari1994 Yes, Because Chrysler is better than Both of them.

I'd say all expect Lexus and Toyota maybe Toyota but it's more reliable

I'll give you a detailed review: Interior sucks. Console: Sucks. Reliability: Sucks. Powertrain: Sucks. The only redeeming feature on this car is the platform they got from Mercedes, but that hasn't been changed much since 2005 lol.

NeutralGenericUser As a recent 300S purchaser I couldn't disagree more. I've owned Mercedes, Land Rover, Acura, Porsche(which I still have), and I can say this is right up there with all of them.

Mark Cotner "As a recent 300S purchaser" is there really a reason for me to read the rest of your comment? It is clear you are biased. I've looked at all the cars in that segment from an objective point of view, and I have no reason to be biased as I don't own any of the cars you listed.

Logic!

I agree!

Exactly very good point , i still think Chrysler quality sucks!!! , sure it "LOOKS" NICE but will this car be after 10 years of daily driving probably just as crappy as the 2005 Chrysler 300 : (

don't forget about the depreciation :(

These are very reliable, a good car.

Another great Canadian!

Terrific review and channel, Motormouth. And you do indeed look like Norm. As an American (not that it matters that much), I can say that he's my favorite comic of all time. He has such an amazingly oblique view of reality and odd situations, and he employs his own brand of inverted irony and subtle, understated satire to skewer pomposity, poseurs and pretense. Such as this (heheh). Anyway, yeah...I got a 2017 Chrysler 300 Limited myself this past April. I like it a lot.

I would never consider your Nazi footlockers!

Donsburt but the cars you named suck

Donsburt then why are you even on this video

Yeah, if their Takata airbags don't kill you. Also, all Lexus models look horrendous with that vacuum cleaner look and are more expensive whereas Acura is beyond mediocre in both style and technology. This isn't a car for people who like to pretend they're rich, but one for people who want to drive in comfort and style. Japanese cars are for people who have given up on living.

maseratiquattroport Well, of course since I belong to the western culture. You can make a scientific study and you'll see that most western people have similar views on design. Last decade's Japanese designs have been mind numbingly boring and unimaginative. I can't think of a type of cars that were more formless and generic looking (this is an objective fact, you could use an algorithm to verify it). This decade Toyota's CEO himself said they need to correct that. Only, being the Japanese robots that they are, they don't understand concepts like fun, passion or beauty, so they have made them offensively ugly. All new Lexus models look like the head of a predator and all new Toyotas seem to have an X up front. You Italians indeed make some of the most beautiful cars. Americans and Italians have been extremely similar to car design. We always made cars that have character, that are fun, temperamental, filled with spirit. And no, I didn't put down a nation, just their cars. On the other hand you seem to have serious prejudices against Americans. Too bad you won't be able to enjoy the charm of a Dodge Challenger or the beauty and mind blowing performance of a Corvette. Your Italian Alfa 4C if great. I'll give credit to the Japanese when they'll earn in. Mazda and Subaru are the only Japanese companies that make cars worthy to be driven (especially Mazda). Toyota and the rest have given that up a long time ago.

Protector of the Republic most car designs are based on safety regulations, aero dynamics and fuel economy

Slickpete83 All those things are irrelevant. You can make an attractive car while following all those requirements and regulations, or you can make an ugly or boring, generic one. Porsche 911 has had basically the same design since the 60's. Just compare Mazda with Toyota and remain shocked at the difference. One brand is filled with ugly, vacuum cleaner, predator style, ugly, boring vehicles and one is like the Alfa Romeo of Japan. Anyway, this Chrysler is a 1000 times more interesting than Japanese cars and it looks miles better.

Take your head out of your ass. This car is all about quality and value.

Marty, this is far from true. My 07 Jeep has never given me an issue, while my 2011 Nissan has had broken A/C twice and bas been rusting for a few years.

I was speaking in a general way... just because you had one good car doesnt mean its the general populations casr... did i really have to explain this?

Marty, Many of my friends are having issues with theirs, as well. My buddy with a Pathfinder is on its second transmission. Have you ever owned a Chrysler? You seem to be an expert on them. Ive owned 3 and none have given me issues.

Marty thats a $50000 car

Check out the new 2015 Chrysler 300 PLATINUM and then what will you say?
