[Heldenzeit]

Nice styling, and not bad to drive either. Cool.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the 300C, but it isn't cool.

 

[FT-1]

I prefer the more squared-off shape of the 2004 model, though I wouldn't say this is uncool. Meh.

 

[Roger the Horse]

A bit too drug dealery.

 

[MisterWaffles]

It's waayyyyy better than the old one, so I'll give it a meh.

 

[Pupik]

Cool.

Steering wheel is too damn thick, though...Break out the Marco Rubio insults.

 

[LivingWithGames]

I would always dislike the 2005 version of it but looking at the newer years...I'm actually shocked they improved it. Especially the front.

This balanced it out to meh.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Much better than last gen. Cool.

 

[homeforsummer]

I don't think the design is as pure as the preceding generation. However, I also think it looks a little classier. I've not seen any with fake Bentley grilles like I've seen with the previous-gen car, and they're a rare sight in the UK as Chrysler disappeared from the market a few years back. It's a cool from me.

 

[Cano]

Not as cool as the first gen but still a solid cool car.

 

[GTRacer22]

Good looks, with a good amount of power to go with it on the upper models. Solid cool.

 

[SVX]

Always really liked this generation - classy and rather good looking. Cool.

 

[nick98]

Clean, yet snazzy. A definite improvement over the original 300.

Cool.

 

[-Fred-]

In SRT trim it's absolutely stunning, and it looks like it's worth 20 000$ more than it really is. Goes pretty well, too. In every other trim it's rental-car boring.

So, cool if it's an SRT, meh if it's a 300S.

 

[ToyGTone]

I'm surprised that there are plenty of members voted cool on this one, expected to see uncool votes far more.

 

[Wiegert]

I certainly don't think it's as brash, likeable or even that engaging compared to the previous 300. But the higher trim models maintain a smooth balance of clean styling and a muscular physique.

Unlike its predecessor, I'd say this one's cool.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Actually, I kinda felt bad in giving this oen a meh, if only I chould change my vote. Perhaps a mod/admin can exchange my vote from Meh -> Cool. This will be probably even my first time doing such thing.

I started to actually like it more, the more I look at it. Who knew Chrysler could still manage to make cars look good nowadays, or rather, improve them. A few times.

 

[The87Dodge]

Very powerful and stylish machine. Gets points for being one of the few RWD American luxury cars you can buy new. The base 290 horsepower engine is respectable, and the SRT version is an absolute monster.

High cool.

 

[Ettick]

Uninteresting. Meh.

 

[TB]

I've always kind of liked these and they tend to get a second look from me more often than other cars on the road.

Cool

 

[Tornado]

They didn't benefit from clawing away from Daimler as the Charger did, but it's also not nearly as much of a DUBSTA as the original one. Low cool.

 

[Adamgp]

Solid cool.

 

[synchromesh]

I actually don't find it cool. It's too much for me.

 

[All Your Base]

Good looking and much, much better compared to the last generation 300C and any of the other garbage Chrysler tried to push out during that era (I'm looking at you, Chrysler Aspen). Cool.

 

[TB]

I actually don't find it cool. It's too much for me.

Says the guy who voted SZ for the Ostentatienne.

 

[AlvaroF]

It's miles better than the old one, classier, but it can't shake off the first gen bad rep just yet. Enough to jump from the seriously Uncool to a very high Uncool.

I accidently placed my vote on seriously Uncool and I wanted to vote uncool. Damn mobile and not checking what I clicked.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Looks a bit better than the older model and they seem to be much rarer over here. Cool.

 

[Ameer67]

Cool. I wouldn't mind owning one.

 

[The Chosen One]

Cool. I wouldn't mind owning one.

Hard to disagree.
