2011 CHRYSLER 300 vs. 2006 CHRYSLER 300

Although the new 300C design addresses visibility issues, and interior quality issues, I think the 2006 has the better exterior.

New ones are god awful looking. Looks like a run of the mill luxury sedan. The 05-10 have aggressiveness and character. You see a 2011, you will say "fuck it, ill just buy an audi"

I like the new interior and the new exterior. No matter which car you have, old or new, the 300 is unmistakeable at any distance.

I had a 2006 300C and I sold it to buy a 2011 300C. EVERYTHING about the new car is better, including the styling all the way around the car. I didn't realize what a great job they did until I went to drive it. The pictures don't do it justice. All the lines work well together in a more cohesive design, reminiscent of the 1956 Chrysler. It's a much better quality car with all the features you need. I've gotten more compliments on it than any other car I've ever owned.

On 300c forums, early buyers of the 2011 are having problems with the paint quality, keyless entry and some software issues. I'll wait for the new SRT8 to be out for a year before I buy. I NEVER adopt early.

Must say while I prefer the body of the 06', the 11' has nicer headlamps and looks a little bit more luxurious.

@Metalguy696

The 11' definitely looks more luxurious but, the SRT's are built for "sport".

Riding low to the ground with a stiff suspension and no airbags is not a "luxury" ride. It's not designed for people like me who do upwards of 15 mph over the posted speed limit at all times. Or people who floor the throttle and bob and weave through traffic on a whim. My S550 can't do that and it cost twice as much.

I disagree. They spent all their money in the interiors of the the 3 cars, but, they put a little extra into the Charger's exterior.

The 300's interior is fantastic. All models come with an 8" touchscreen for example.

I still think the '06 body style looks great. The new one looks softer and a little too refined. Its much less agressive and less masculine. The front end on the 2011 looks more like an Audi. I can see how both would appeal to certain buyers but I personally like the '06 body.

I don't like the new one's at all.... i blame fiat!

I LOVE MY 2011 300! but guys the software isn't bad its great and it is amazing on efficiency. Also at the end, I have the same Bentley visual. The grill is great. Also, there's alot of space and its way bigger on the inside.

@bigtruckseriesreview I usually wait a year myself, but I decided to take a chance. I just came from a forum, and I was able to give them some valuable feedback. I haven't had any problems with mine so far.
