The Chrysler 300C returned in 2007 with many revisions.  The C had served as Chrysler's flagship sedan since its introduction in 2005, offering a myriad of features and upgrades which nearly doubled the price of base 300 model.  In addition to a premium Boston Acoustics sound system, leather trim, driver memory power adjustments, rain sensing wipers, and an optional navigation system the new 300C added adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and heated rear seats.  Power plant and drive train options remained as before.
The 300C takes its power from a 5.7 liter Hemi V-8, a three liter increase beyond the 300's base V-6.  The Hemi makes 340 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, and pulls the C from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds.  Most quarter mile tests have the 300C around 14 seconds.  The engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission that includes a manual shifter.  The 4000+ pound sedan's EPA rating 19/25 mpg-a bit higher than the all wheel drive version.
The 300C earns nearly unanimous praise for performance.  The acceleration and power throughout the speed range is incredibly strong, and the car handles considerably well for its size.  Some shorter drivers may experience visibility problems due the long hood and high rear deck.  The window height is also pinched to give the car a more compact muscular appearance.  In the past, the 300 reputation has been nagged by reliability and quality issues, and even the occasional recall.
