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
