Don't they get it?? To the average consumer, the 300 is nothing more than a bling-up of the existing model (i.e. fancy grille and chrome rims). The Jeep at least has a radical new front end.

Let Chrysler dies in peace, IMO.

I know that they are short on money, but couldn't they do more to the 300 than warm it over?

Does anybody think that 300 interior looks eerily similar to the one seen on the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia? Anyways I seriously doubt that the Cherokee will have "best-in-class interior" but I guess we'll have to wait and see if they can match their claim, if their still around by then.
