I just got an email from "Chrysler" touting the New Chrylser 300S, where "The S stands for Style."
Basically it shows what looks like a 300C with minimized chrome trim, a blacked mesh grille, and different rims. Followed by a couple paragraphs and an interior shot and an MDS graphic. Ok... here's what got copied when I tried to do just the car picture...
STYLISH ON THE OUTSIDE
Immerse yourself in style everywhere you go in the exclusive limited-edition Chrysler 300S. The mysterious approach of the blacked-out grille and darkened headlamp bezels, the subtle cruising style of 20-inch polished wheels tell the world you embrace distinction and exude cachet.
SEXY ON THE INSIDE
Inside, you're surrounded by elegance. The sensual dark slate gray leather trim and suede performance seating with the 300S logo surround you in style. The uniquely designed steering wheel with carbon weave and highlighted with red detail lets you gracefully navigate the performance-tuned suspension.
EFFICIENT POWER
Inject power and save fuel all at once with the available HEMI® V8 with 360 horsepower and Multi-Displacement System. Sensors know when you don't need all the horsepower the eight cylinders deliver. The system shuts down four of the cylinders, resulting in up to 20 percent more fuel efficiency.1

Chrysler's slick looking 200C, first shown in concept form at the 2009 Detroit Auto Show, will apparently be put into production, if these patent drawings are any indication.
The drawings, which first surfaced on a Brazilian automotive website, show a car that looks fairly similar to the swoopy concept. While the concept featured a powertrain similar to the Volt, (capable of going for 40 miles on battery power), we're hoping the 200C, with its rumored Pentastar V6, will replace the god-awful Sebring, and blow away any memories of the wretched rental-fodder. and usher in a new era for Chrysler's traditionally lackluster car lineup.
Is this the 2012 Dodge Magnum aka Dodge's replacement for the Dodge Durango? Spy photos obtained by blogger Asian Martin show the vehicle's design, and a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee next to it, and we're inclined to think so.
The Magnum is expected to get Chrysler's Pentastar 3.6L V6, and the photos clearly show design cues taken from the Ram pickup. The 5.7L Hemi V8 is a logical addition as well. Based on spy photos and some leaked patent drawings, this is likely your first look at the new truck.
[ At this time of grief for Paula, the Waymouth family and the many friends John had at 300Cforums from around the world, please share your thoughts, photos and fond memories in the JOHN WAYMOUTH MEMORIAL THREAD.
Chrysler will begin to shy away from the performance-oriented Hemi brand in its marketing in favor of a greener and more efficient image. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the Hemi name will be use sparingly for the line of V8 engines across all Chrysler products.
Instead, Chrysler intends to put marketing dollars behind its new Pentastar V6 engine and new technology borrowed from Fiat – like the Italian automaker's Multiair variable valve timing. Chrysler claims that the new Pentastar engine will improve fuel economy in its vehicles by as much as 25 percent. Over time it is also expected to also feature direct-injection and turbocharging.
The Hemi name will still be used on certain Dodge and Ram vehicles, but will be cut entirely from Chrysler models. Instead, Chrysler will refer to the big V8 engines only by displacement or cylinder number.
