No, not all modifications are illegal in California. You can even modify cars with aftermarket parts that are part of the emissions system (cats, headers, intakes, tunes, superchargers, turbochargers) as long as they have passed certification by CARB to ensure that they don’t drastically increase the emissions that…

Unfortunately, it would still be a slow seller as a Chrysler. FCA shot itself in the foot when they repositioned Dodge as the performance brand (ala Pontiac) and moved Chrysler down to the mainstream brand. Chrysler has lost it’s panache as a “blue collar luxury brand” and is just a mainstream brand.

This marketing stunt will have us end up with the Hamburgler as the ultimate boss for Toretto and gang to go up against at the conclusion of Fast XII!

I take it from the comments that some feel that this one is special and unique, given the high spec trim with 4WD and a manual trans.

My Ram 1500 has the same sort of active aero with a retractable lower front spoiler under the front bumper. 

That big ass rear wing isn’t anyting new. Back in May of 2023 when Jeep announced the Wagoneer S, the big spoiler was part of the renderings of the upcoming vehicle.

I’m gonna be one to agree with you.  I really liked how the Beretta’s looked, especially in the GTZ and Z26 trims.  

I think you are right about the lineup.  I thought maybe the Recon would be on STLA Frame... but quick search shows that it will be on the SLTA Large and possibly an upcoming EV Wrangler will be on SLTA Frame.

3rd gear: Chrysler needs product, and it needs it yesterday. They showed the Airflow concept (checks calendar) 2 years ago!! That should have been enough time to bring that concept to production around this time, just as the 300 dies off. But nope, they shelved that and haven’t shown ANYTHING since. That sole minivan…

Slap an Acura A badge on this and you have the new entry level crossover.

Great list of tiny cars.  And I second the opinion on the Beretta.  I’ve never owned one, but always liked their style.  But compared to the rest on the list (based on size), that Beretta is a whale.  

Even though the OG TRX was a pretty mundane offroad package, the name was a great one to bring out from the mothballs for the Ram TRX to take on the Raptor. The connotation that TRX = T-Rex... because T-Rex eat Raptors (ala Jurassic Park)

Even among the owners of them (me included), it is still hotly debated as to whether or not the 2023 300C is an SRT or not. Its very similar to the debate on the Dodge side as to whether a Scat Pack is an SRT or not. Until 2018, you could get the 392 6.4L in both an R/T Scat Pack and the SRT 392. Starting in 2019, the…

That Hyundai key looks like an MP3 player from 2003

My DaimlerChrysler POS Magnum SRT8 is still going strong at 232K miles.

2023 Chrysler 300C. It’s a bit low tech compared to newer cars (current gen dates back to 2015, which was a mild refresh of the 2011 redesign). Powertrain is proven, Uconnect is works well. Lots of parts availability.

I agree.  But, enthusiasts and marketing folks tend to look at things a lot differently.  

My hubby’s 2011 E350 Bluetech had a column shifter.  I think all W212 E-class had the column shifter, except for the AMG versions. 

Yeah, I kinda thought the same. But, those are typically referred to as the 300 “letter series”. It started with the C-300, then the 300B, 300C, etc all the way through “L”. They weren’t just “300". There were 300 non-letter series cars in the 60s, so I thing those should be the first-generation 300.

Absolutely starring for the Garp reference.
