2006 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 This is my first Chrysler. There has always been a reputation of being a big car for "older people". The 300C with the hemi makes us middle-aged people feel great about driving around town. As far as image, those people that love the style always look. see full Chrysler 300 review

5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Despite bad luck with their cars always had good luck with their dealers. Have been innovative and first to market with a lot of good products lately, new ownership, lifetime power warranty - hopefully they will turn it around. see full Chrysler 300 review

2011 4dr Sedan turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 It is July 2013 and I bought my car last month. It is the first Ford I have owned since 1982, when I traded in a '69 Galaxy for a '79 Horizon. Wish I still had the Galaxy! I grew up in a Ford family, had my diver's license since 1974 and driven a bunch of different cars but had primarily been a GM for the last 20 years. They're still doing nice stuff and I've driven some of it but this Ford stole my heart and I'm glad to be back in the fold. Both Ford and GM have had their political and social miscues the last few years but I think Ford's product speaks for itself and I'm glad I own one. see full Ford Taurus review

6-speed automatic FWD		 I get it. This is an "old people's car" in the common mindset. see full Ford Taurus review
