You know how sometimes you just can’t help liking something, even if, deep down, you know it’s actually a bit wobbly. Think most old James Bond films… The Chrysler 300C’s a bit like that. Dynamically it’s a division below the big BMWs and Jags; it’s not madly quick; it doesn’t ride particularly well, and it’ll probably lose money like a drunk on a cattle-grid. And yet everyone here who drove the new right-hand-drive version of the top-of-the-range 5.7 ‘Hemi’ just loved it… The ride feels initially good, though much of that’s down to the deep sidewalls of the 225/60 R18 {Euro-spec] Pirelli P7s; at speed over even moderately uneven surfaces it lacks the damping control and general poise of the best Europeans. Not great, then, but immensely likeable. source: evo
