2008 Chrysler 300C (pics)

I knew they would remove the front wing moulding, it was the first thing to go on mine, i do not like the exposed cup holders, i prefer not to see them untill i need them, the antenna is ridiculous in 2008, a shark fin is bad but that is s#it, i must admit there is nothing to tempt me to think about a new one, they could have fitted white lights on the bumpers, wot are desighners getting paid for these days, the sat nav screen looks too small to me, why didnt they make it larger and incorparate a DVD and TV into it,,, i like the wood round the centre console but to be honest that is the only bit i like, sorry guys i will stick with what i have got..........

Ok so the aerial makes it look like one of the tellytubbies cars!! However that picture has been heavily retouched so perhaps the graphic artist thought he was adding something nice. Anyway it tends to look more like a Cellphone aerial than a radio one - so perhaps it won't be compulsory.

Damn! I just got my 07 SRT8 a month ago! Too bad I can't afford to trade...I'm loving the new interior....

Note: Those pics are of the 2008 European 300C. So the wheel pictured will not be on the US version. The European equivalent to our DOT called TUV do not allow chrome wheels from the factory. The 2005-2007 300C in Europe came with the 05-07 Magnum RT wheel. I like them because I prefer exposed lugs and hate plastic lug covers. Those 2008 Euro wheels have a AMG look.

You're kidding me! So that explains it!

I don't really like the new wheels, they look like they were stolen off a Charger, and 5 spokes don't really fit this car. But no chrome?! Ouch.

[No. It's not a bentley]

Looking at the new satnav bit, looks like an input on the bottom right for MP3 etc. Aerial is lame

I'm not so sure about a lot of the detail, but the one improvement is the rear seat belt squab catches. New ones protrude, making them easy to locate. All my passengers have difficulty with the current recessed catches.

Yes that's true!

i don't like the new trunk lid that much. they should've added the brake light w/o the new moldings. that would've been better.

and the 4-speed auto tranny seems to be back on the 2008 3.5 limited and touring 300s. probably, the consequence of the mercedes and chrysler break-up. those 5-speed auto trannys are mercedes benz trannys. i guess they're in short supply now.

Still has the 5 speed on the 300C.

I'm actually quite getting used to the antenna and I've never had any issues with the other changes, I actually quite like them.

I'm contemplating finding if a BWM type fin will go on the car.
