Reviews SummaryThe Chrysler 300 is available in four trim levels—Limited, 300S, 300C, and 300C Platinum—with a choice of either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive across the lineup. Engine choices include a 3.6-liter V6 or a 5.7-liter V8, both of which get paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. No matter which 300 you choose, you’ll get a bold and luxurious large sedan with plenty of power. | |
Reviews SummaryRodney Dangerfield was a legendary stand-up comedian, and while his on-stage shtick was all about how he didn’t get any respect, as a comedic talent he was held in the highest esteem. That’s not the case for the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. The oft-maligned Malibu literally gets no respect, which is too bad because with its most recent redesign for the 2016 model year, the car absolutely deserves it. | |
