The handsome 300 sedan continues into its last year before a serious redesign. Available with a 235-hp 3.5-litre V6 or 360-hp HEMI V8 with a five-speed automatic transmission. While rear-wheel drive is standard, AWD is available on both models. Exterior design still holds up after all these years, and interior refresh helped to mitigate complaints about quality and materials. Super-hot SRT8 version delivers 425-hp with a 6.2-litre version of the HEMI, along with larger wheels, sticky tires and a tight suspension.

Pros

Power, presence

Cons

Why no 300C wagon?
