he first time I laid eyes on this automotive gargoyle, I liked it. I’m still not sure what part of me it appealed to, but I knew straight away the bessa brick styling and pillbox side windows reminded me of something from my 1970s Hot Wheels collection. In keeping with the

unapologetic Dodge/Chrysler range, it is as bold and brassy as all get out. So, apart from hoodlum hot-rod styling, wild wheels and expansive mega-chrome grille, what does the Chrysler 300C offer the consumer? Built in Austria of all places, the steroidal 300C comes in four engine

configurations; a modest 3.5 DOHC V6, bulldozing 5.7 or 6.1 Hemi V8s and our test car – the newest in the lineup – a 3.0 turbocharged, intercooled DOHC V6 diesel.
