Reviews SummaryThat bellowing is courtesy of a 6.4-liter Hemi, returning to the Chrysler 300 for the first time since 2014. Available only in the limited-production 300C model, it puts enough power to the rear wheels to effortlessly repave the roads with rubber. Fortunately, Chrysler fortifies the 300C with wheel, tire, suspension, and braking upgrades to help drivers make the most of the muscle under the hood. Naturally, there is also an active exhaust system that makes plenty of noise. Verdict: Even as it ages toward retirement, the Chrysler 300 remains a strikingly attractive, large sedan. With an available 6.4-liter V8 engine, it packs the firepower to support its muscle-car looks. However, the aging platform leaves much to be desired in terms of tech, comfort, and safety. | |
Reviews SummaryWithin the General Motors hierarchy of brands, Buick has always served as a bridge between less-expensive Chevrolets and more-expensive Cadillacs. From time to time throughout its long history, Buick has built youthful cars, it has built performance cars, and it has built world-class cars. The image that sticks, however, is based on the chrome-encrusted barges Buick peddled for decades to older and wealthier people who did not or would not buy a Caddy. Times are changing, though, and the redesigned 2017 Buick LaCrosse is a perfect example illustrating the company’s metamorphosis. | |
