  http://www.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dl...101109887/1427 Much more refined in its look but does lack the visual impact that made the current one so popular. The interior is much improved to the current one which is pretty abysmal.

No where near as 'tough and gansta' looking...
Looks a bit Hyundai-ish on the front... Don't mind the rear end... but those front wheel arches look like you could fit a set of 30" wheels under them - and still not fill the arches... Hmmm...

Was never fan of the last 300C, to me it depicts everything that was wrong with US car makers at the time, it was built on old tech and the styling was a elegant as a brick to the face, and the interior quality was as good as wheelie bin. But the wagon looked good only if I saw it from behind a 3/4 view.
But this new 300C seems to have improved alot, hoping the interior quality has improved. Just wish we got the dodge charger over here.

I think it (the first 300C) was always going to be a hard car to follow up in terms of visual impact - it was a beast of a thing, particularly the SRT8 with it's 20's.
I reckon they have the rear spot on, the front a little too soft, but still pretty good. Nice job Chrysler!

Hmmm front grille should have gone all the way down. Rest looks ok. Front lights look a little too small as well. |

I loved the old 300c.
This one is a major disappointment. Oh well at least I like the old one because that is the cheaper one

Old model was gangsta, looks could kill with that thing. The new one seems to have lots of wasted space around the headlights etc, reminds me of this pic:

Pass.
Looks as if the design team were given the task to make it look as bland and as boring as possible. That front end is putting me to slee... |

I like the older one better, has that "gangsta", unrefined look. Big, black, square and chrome on it.
Not too bad though. |

Same amount of cool, way less tough.
Still good, just not awesome.

the 300c is a tank of a car and as a result is about as economical as one, didn't like the older one because there is much more fuel efficient ways to look cooler and go faster, the newer one has the same problem too thirsty and too heavy. No thanks not interested in either

Still Cool
Not Tough anymore, too much chrome on the rear lights. SRT8 will be interesting

I don't mind it, considering they probably didn't have that much money to play with. That said I still prefer the old one.
 I had a play with the front in paint, without photoshop i couldn't do anything about the lights or those chrome strips. |

You made it smile. Hehe it looks like a clown.
For those who can't see it, look under the grill.

Not too keen on the look. Even the 300C wagons were boss, don't see that with these facelifts.
