lol, i see it. good comparison.

Yes yes it is😂 scaty packs think twice

Have you even driven the new 300? They're not cheap plastic at all. Chrysler has moved away from cheap plastic and almost everything(aside from a few minor pieces) is soft-touch material. I agree with you on the Ford and Chevy, though. Impala looks great, and Taurus is ridiculously outdated.

Clay Martin The soft touch is nice but I'd like to murder the guy who decided the texture of the dash on the 300, you can scrub and scrub at is and it seems like you never get everything out of the nooks. But yeah, everyone that's ever gotten into my car has complemented how nice it is on the inside.

Michael Davis that's true. Jeep has done that stuff too. Luckily they're doing leather/soft touch instead of that weird plastic texture stuff. Lol That was a big mistake.

The grand Cherokee is soooo nice. Every time I see one I get jelly. Test drove one last year. I like the way it wraps you in. I'm at a cross road right now though. I'm either going to trade in my 2012 300 and get the he I or super charging my v6 for a nice sleeper. Torn lol

Why is Impala good for winter conditions?

@@faverburgosFWD is good for ice/winter. that’s why

I had a 2017 LTZ. Sorry to say, but absolutely awful car. Uncomfortable and crammed for its size, underpowered, and very problematic. Same with the 300, I’ve owned 3 and had nothing but issues and performance wasn’t super impressive for its power (5.7). I have a 2010 SHO and 2015 SEL AWD and they’re both much better performance, comfortability, and cargo wise than the others. I don’t see why so many people dick ride the Impalas.

​@@saint5ifyNo one would agree with this

@@saint5ifyTaurus is definitely built better , i’ve had an 11’ and 14’ . the impala feels kinda cheap and childish. feel a lot safer in the taurus it sounds better .

Something out of a 2000s Mercedes..

***** right.

***** It's better than the 2013 though!

Nick Olsen why they didn’t just put the cruze wheel

Impala 🔥

Plus a tune SHO 450whp will beat 707 hp the track. In quarter of mile. Not about horsepower. Weight, gearing and traction. Seen vid on youtube SHO beat a Challenger which is RWD.

I was looking at SHO’s and went with an e-85 n/a 3.5L V6 taurus and spent 5k on different mods. Now onto a q50. Taurus is great. Mines 2014’ with tint / sunset metalic orange / big nitto tires/ dark grey aftermarket 19’s. tuner chip / cold air intake/ ngk plugs/ modified air pocket for intake. After 180k miles of driving I can say i’ve spent $250 outside of preventative maintenance. it’s been reliable and pretty versatile and its clearly just passing half way through it’s life. I was hard on the suspension when i lived in the city it’s turning into a rough ride . The big cold air intake and box made it sound like a 5.0. Took it 800 miles in 11 hours stopping and taking all of the time I wanted outside the car. Had the cruise set at 130 for nearly 50 miles at one point and car ran very well besides the aerodynamics. Doesn’t like running cold , takes forever to warm up. That taurus can make some good power though and get some impressive fuel mileage down the highway for its weight. Cant complain about the trunk either. The whole reason i side with it over the others is the amount of size doesn’t equate to all weight with it , it’s lighter than the charger and chrysler 300, longer and wider. It was a beast when I got caught in a bad snow storm once traveling across country. Selling it here soon so i don’t have to dump money into rotors and struts.

He stated that in the vid.

Jonte Mcbride the impala doesn't come in AWD. all the other cars offer AWD

i know u piece a shit

i never said you fucking idiot. have you even heard of esl

I think what we are all trying to say is.. The Ford Taurus comes in AWD, and not ONLY in the SHO model. You can get the 3.5L Naturally Aspirated TI-VCT V6 with AWD.. and its cheaper than the 300C/300S AWD models. I believe for the trim level needed for the AWD model, the sticker is still under $30k.

I did the reverse.... I bought one and I am now looking at the reviews. I am impressed by the Chrysler immensely!

I like the greater kudu but the springbok is pretty cool too. What one of those do you like more? I think the greater kudu could get up to 60 faster.

The Fast Lane Car You didnt mention the Chrysler you actually drove wasnt the 300S, it was the 300C which is a Trim Higher than the S, so the S should cost LESS than the Impala.

That grill on the Impala looks like it was borrowed from a Powerwheels or Transformer.

DATDesign Chevy paid big money to have their cars featured in that 2hr chevy commercial known as 'Transformers'. It worked to boost Camaro sales big time, now they're trying to squeeze every bit they can from the movie.

That grill is a radar for the Adaptive Cruise Control with Crash Imminent Braking system. it comes on the very top of the line LTZ - the top top LTZ.

Tommy Ven Detta which way did you go? I have an opportunity to buy a 2013 Taurus limited(no awd) dirt cheap and in good condition. Ive don’t have the opportunity to choose between the 3 lol, just want to know if you got the Taurus and if you like it.

2017 Taurus Limited AWD or 2016 Impala LTZ?? I'm torn between the two and I'm supposed to make a decision in 8 hrs!!

@@mohlachi Did you make your decision

@Moh lachi Yeah, which one did you go with if you don't mind us asking. I dont know, I think I really like the Impala LTZ. It's luxurious and sporty. I love the drive train of the 300c obviously but the cosmetics just don't do it for me, inside or out...

Believe it or not you can super charge the pentastar for around 420 HP. I love the exterior look of the impala but the 300's interior in my opinion is really nice but I'm bias on this subject as I own a 300. I just can't do that steering wheel on the impala. The Taurus is just boring on all levels but over a good car.

Also, rwd in the snow isn't that bad. I live in north Dakota and have a rwd 300. Haven't ever had a problem unless flooring it around a corner.

I've tried RWD in the snow and it is much better. You can have control over the steering at all times if you know how to manage the gas pedal and counter steer but with FWD once you begin to spin out you've lost all hope.

I'll spank your crap. '15 SHO with a Livernois tune. 445 AWD HP! :) Oh the love.

FWD is way better than RWD in snow .I have a 2010 ss Camaro and it doesn't do really well in the Indiana snow, my brother's Honda it's a FWD and does better in the snow because of the weight of the motor being up front, gives it more traction.

We test what they send us. We would have preferred the HEMi but you can't get that in AWD anymore and in Colorado we get AWD cars to test.

+Esly Lopez The V8 HEMI runs on 4 cylinders on the highway so it gets the same Highway as the V6, 31MPG. "For a few dollars more."

+Esly Lopez If they would have brought the SS then they should have brought the SRT8 version of the 300.

Chrysler has gone downmarket... It no longer competes in the luxury class.

Durk Dockman Lincoln isn't anymore luxury than Chrysler. Cadillac is still fighting for it but it hasn't been doing as well as they should to be considered luxury.

***** I agree, Lincoln is more on the level of near luxury like Buick. Cadillac has true luxury products, just not the brand image.

Durk Dockman Yeah that's how GM has been trying to redefine their brands but Buick is faltering and Caddy probably won't get anywhere until their flagship big boy sedan is in production.

***** Buick is doing quite well sales-wise. Buick's products are becoming quite dated though. And since their products are all quite old they are also a big cash cow(like trucks).

agree.

It is hideous

oh Yeah Yeah People like you I don’t understand it was designed originally back in the Daimler Chrysler merger the 300 isn’t or is based on a fiat yes fiat owns Chrysler but that doesn’t mean every car is made or is based on a fiat what about you take some time and research the platform sharing for FCA products

@@ohyeahyeah8054 Fiat owns Ferrari, Maserati, Dodge, Jeep, RAM, and Alfa Romeo too.

I've driven RWD on winter roads for years and didn't spin out. Training is the key!

Lay down on your stomach and try to pull yourself with your arms, pretty easy right? Then try to push yourself with your feet. Since the majority of cars are front engine it makes sense for front wheel drive. Unless you want to make some real power then that concept is out of the window.

that's okay - I don't really care. They can have their opinions we can have ours also!!!

And the horrible connector on the center mirror it's part of the finest ford design 🤔

RockandRoll same

Have you driven the 5.7L or 6.4L 300? It's a blast. I've never driven an Impala, so I know I can't comment on that, but I've driven the 300 A LOT and it's a great vehicle. Surprisingly fast, roomy, comfortable, and impressive fuel economy(27.5mpg combined with spirited driving, thanks to the cylinder deactivation when cruising). One thing I hate about it though, is how quickly it destroys tires. It's extremely heavy so it wears tires out like crazy. And that's partly because stock tires are usually super cheap to begin with.

Clay Martin You might hate what i will say but i have driven the 300 with the 5.7l and it feels to me like its trying to be a cadillac. So if it was my cash id go for the caddy even taught there more expensive lol

matthebest018 I see what you mean but I don't completely agree. Lol Chrysler is trying to define each of their brands into what they are known for or what they want them to be known for. Chrysler has always been more like GMC in how it's slightly higher luxury than the other sister brands, so they're making Chrysler into more of an (sort of)affordable entry level luxury brand. Jeep is the off road capable brand, like always. And Dodge is the high performance brand. I definitely see what you mean about it seeming like it wants to be a Cadillac, though. Haha

There's no possible way you've driven the 300 with a hemi/8-speed combo. Not unless you have a press pass.

Kyle Coffey are you talking to OP or me?

Agreed. I was surprised.

Sounds like a good comparison to me. Isn't a Charger with a V-8 about the same price as a 300 with a V-6?

goatmonkey2112 No. The 300 Starting price is Higher than the Charger though.

It's pretty close. I looked at the official sites. A 2015 Charger R/T with the 5.7 V-8 is $32.5k, and a 2014 300 V-6 is $31.5k (no listing for at 2015 300 yet). I would go for the Charger at those prices.

goatmonkey2112 Yes the Charger will have the 3.5l V6 engine for their base model and go to 5.7l V8 engine for the best configuration you can get from them. I think the V8 version of 300 will cost more than the V8 Charger consider that the 300 looks more luxurious than the Charger, but we'll see later. It's hard to conclude which one to get though as they both look awesome! But in terms of reliability nobody knows about it yet because they are still Chrysler. :(

Erik Jamin new charger has 3.6 engine not 3.5

soaringtractor Some truck drivers have 18 speeds. So maybe a retired truck driver that's tired of shifting. I never bought the car, I got my 5 speed automatic Honda civic LX and I don't think I'll ever get rid of it. I love it, how easy it is to find parking the gas milage and the 5 speed.

soaringtractor stick shift sucks. Like I said, I'm keeping my Honda civic LX. That automatic 5 speed actually downshifts going down a hill and lets the engine brake it. Like a computer senses it. Most automatics I drove around here just run away and burn the brakes out till the fade and you can't stop on some of these Mountain hills, like in the Catskills. Believe me, I drove a stick shift though accidents and road construction enough to know how they suck. That's why everybody spends the extra grand for the automatic. At the time I wrote that, everybody around here with the big Dodges were running me off the road, that's why I wanted to step up. But seems now they all got the big Ford sitting in the driveway and bought a compact car to actually drive around and leave the truck at home for Homedept errands. So if they like it or not, I'm keeping my Honda civic LX

I just said that, even the word homedepot, sheez. I know the deal, that's why I got both to. I just choose the Honda civic first. I can't drive more that a hour before I'm sick of it. I don't see the joy of driving a vehicle on Sundays.

Yea I do that. Meat alot of girls that way today. But mostly I work on my sailboat or mini bike, click my name and see my mini bike after I shoot my M&P9 VTAC at home.

@@cedricmiller4370 It's hard to tell since I didn't push them. These are cruiser cars, not made for speed but for a great ride. The Impala seemed a little to big for me with cheaper interior. The second I sat in the Taurus I had that "this is it" feeling. Comfortable, great ride, and just the right size of not too big but roomy.

I'm torn between a 2017 Taurus Limited AWD or a 2016 Impala LTZ

@@mohlachi I liked the Taurus better but I would say don't get the awd. Fords awd has some issues and when it goes it often messes up the transmission. When shopping for our 2018 MKX we noticed that all the ones with awd were $2-3k cheaper because of that.

Random Videos Vtec doesn't kick in til January.

Once you sit in one you'll feel differently. It is one of the most comfortable cars I've ever been in. When I sat in one at a dealership I said to myself "Finally GM has designed a winner after 30 years." Then my friend bought one and I drove it and I was proven correct. The car is not only comfortable to sit in but has a beautiful ride and very nice handling and braking. America has finally turned a corner.

I like the looks just think the interior is just..... Well designed weird especially that chrome strip that runs across the dash but yeah you is right about the ride quality and handling. Out of the 3 I probably still pick the impala as the Chrysler 300's interior is boring and the Ford Taurus is older and cheaper.

VTEC kick in That black with red trim is probably the worst looking one too. I like the beige leather.

VTEC kick in Looks-wise, you have a point. But the 300's dash is not high quality in real life. It squeaks, feels cheap, and doesn't fit the way you'd expect in a $40k vehicle.

Wrong that Taurus is no older than 2013 because of the newer face and body styling

Aussie Four Wheelers oh I agree the Chrysler is the nicest. But no more AWD with a Hemi! Just the V6. But it’s a very good V6! Plus the AWD does come with slightly lower gearing to even out the extra weight. In the rwd you get 2:92 gears, in the AWD 3:09. The Impala is a very nice automobile and so is the Taurus, that does come in more levels, performance being the top. But a Hemi Powered 300 will run with the SHO all day! Just as long as the weather is dry.

Aussie Four Wheelers p

Aussie Four Wheelers do you know that Chrysler has horrible transmission

Fiat piece of crap

@@BW-fz5kf Actually the 8 speed ZF transmission Chrysler designed when they still owned Benz is actually one of the smoothest most reliable transmissions you can buy today. The old first generation 300 has the old 5 speed transmission that was the bad transmission. The 8 speed ZF transmission normally lasts well over 150k miles before having any issues and is able to withstand up to 900HP. Out of these 3 vehicles 2015 and up id put my money on the Chryslers transmission lasting the longest.

***** But the Dodge Charger Hellcat would rape the SHO.

***** I would love to have one as well.

+Richard Jordan The charger hellcat costs around 65k and the Taurus SHO costs around 40k so if you put 25k into the taurus it would rape the charger

Jonathan Teal But the Taurus SHO is the best and most expensive upgrade for the Taurus, while the Hellcat is the best and most expensive upgrade for the Hellcat, so the Charger is better. And no it wouldn't. They would be around equal, but there is no point in talking about that because you can't go higher than 40k with a Taurus anyways unless you use a third party company.

+Richard Jordan The Charger isn't even in this review... You may claim it's the same platform as the 300 but that is not the point of this review. Anyway, obviously the intent of putting another 25k into the SHO is for aftermarket parts and tune. With that work, the SHO will kill the Hellcat on the street. More power + all wheel drive launch will beat a 707 hp skinny tired rwd any day. I'd still rather the Hellcat personally, but I'm not naïve enough to think it would win that battle.
