There have been arguments that the EU is as much a "country" as the United States is. When you look at what a country is and isn't, it's a good argument. The only real difference is the EU feels it's not a country and the US feels it is. Remember "US" means "United States" which is the same basic idea, separate states (ie, separate governments) joined together for a common purpose.

Even though lots of Lancia fans got mad because they didn't like the fact that the historic "Thema" nameplate was used for an American car, the 300/Thema is still a good vehicle, in my opinion even better than the Lancia Thesis that replaced, which had a quite controversial styling that I didn't like. Btw the 3.0 Diesel is always Turbocharged, as since lots of years naturally aspirated diesel engines are no longer manufactured.

Thanks for this video! I didn't know that 300C haven't wagon/touring/combi version in US. I already have Magnum and I am so proud of it because it's a very rare car in Europe. Greetz from Poland!

I pray they never kill this car off. Sure it's using a dated platform but who gives a damn, in my opinion, it's pretty much the last true American luxo boat left being sold today in a modern way. It's big, comfy, affordable, RWD, still a sedan, and unforgiving of what it is and happy to do so and that's what makes it special. I just do wish they would bring back a true SRT model and not hold back with it, a big American middle finger to European luxury sport sedans. Love the vid mate, keep it up.

Yeah Dodge has been on fire for years now, making great cars. They have done what Chevy and Ford seem to have forgot how to do. I hope they make another beautiful RWD platform that is similar to the Chrysler 300 but with more modern looking tail lights, that are a little more high tech looking. Judging by how Dodge has been making concept cars of the Dodge "Super Charger" lately, they might be creating another RWD platform, to replace the 300.

I owned a 05 Magnum. And I actually have encountered a 300 diesel here in the United states. I only got to move it around a shop, not actually take it out on the road as it was not legal to register for road use. But I remember the interior did feel a bit nicer than the 300C that they also has with the hemi.

I wish they would bring this back. It and the new Magnum (or Charger Wagon if called that) would be kind of like a baby Durango.

Unfortunately, the diesel engine versions were not available for sale in the US, because of the EPA emissions standards (but actually burned clean, & had much better fuel economy, than the 3.5 V6, & the 5.7L Hemi).

I can vouch for the performance figures. My 2009 SRT8 has 124000 miles on the clock on ran a 4.74 second 0-60 time just yesterday. Not bad for ten years old. We still get the 300SRT here new in Australia; I believe we are the only market to do so. I think it's because some police forces use them as highway patrol vehicles.

At 4:55 is the same 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 that Matt Maran reviewed.

I live in South Africa and they used to sell the USA Chrysler 300. They don't sell anymore Chrysler cars here anymore :( but there is a second hand market for 2015 Chrysler 300 ones.

I’ve owned the 3.5L Dodge Magnum. I loved its RWD handling and ride. I like the the 300, especially 2nd Gen. That was when it went from a soft ‘baby Bentley’ ... to a cool looking unique and distinctive sedan. Would I buy another Magnum again..... a 300 Estate (wagon)? I think I would. What’s the alternative? They need to reintroduce the Ford SHO wagon from years back. Thanks for the video.

The front end on these cars has been so beautiful on every single model. One of the best looking front ends of any car ever made. However, the tail lights look like they were straight off of a 1980's car. They should have simply rounded off the tail lights. The hard angular tail lights really make the car look outdated, and is reminiscent of the 1980's Chryslers.

Can you do a video about the fird focus?

My parents might have actually bought a 300 wagon if it was an option in 2005. We needed 4wd living in the cold white north.. minivans were a hard no on my mother’s request and the magnum didn’t do it for them... we ended up with a Buick Rendezvous

Oh I am sorry I have to disagree with you there. It was not called the 300 but that body style was a prototype at the 1992 or 1993 auto show in St Louis. It was the same year the Gen 2 RAM was on the plinth this car was on the carpet with velvet ropes around it. I will admit in its original version it did have the amber lights completely across each headlight at the top, but otherwise was the same car under a different name. I only remember it so well because it was the first four-door I liked the look of.

I have the John Varvatos edition, its bad -ass

300C Touring Wagon, with that iconic 1st gen face and the Lancia interior is so much want for me. I went to check out the (US) 300 when they first came out and it was cool as hell. Then I sat inside and was completely turned off by the truly horrid interior, looking and feeling like complete (and sadly typical for US cars) sh** even then. It was relatively cheap and it became immediately apparent as to why.

I can't understand how Lancia failed in Europe. It was priced below main rivals (BMW 5 series and Mercedes E-classe), it was hot and something new, and simply it didn't work here sadly. I'm looking to buy a used one, but a little bit afraid of the 5 spead automatic transmission and the spare parts supply, if it is available at all.

Also, surprised the US never got the V6 CRD, had one in my first one (2006 Touring) and, although it had its niggles, was a great engine for it's all round mix of performance and economy. On a long run, I could get close to 50mpg (41mpg US), not too shabby for a car it's size! Currently have a 2007 Touring with the 5.7 Hemi, absolutley love it! Bit of a rarity in the UK too!

Was Chrysler in America ever supposed to be a top Tier luxury brand for The Chrysler group? I never understood their purpose, they had better options for the platforms they shared with Dodge but in my opinion they never got the status of a luxury or even premium car

For info, Dodge isn't a brand used much (if at all) in the UK & continental Europe. Chrysler is well known - although the brand was tarnished somewhat when it went bankrupt in the 1970s and didn't really re-emerge until the Chrysler 300C & PT Cruiser in the early 2000s although the other Chrysler brands like Jeep started to appear 10-15 years earlier.

Interesting comparsion, it's such a shame that Sedans are dying off. Sure, some American cars quality wise might not be that good but I quite liked the Dodge Charger SRT, Ford Crown Vic, Chevy Lumina SS (Chevy SS, Australian made I know) and such. FCA is clearly focusing on Jeep and RAM more so than Chrysler and Dodge. As for the Comparsion video, I thought i could add few informations about the Chrysler 300 currently sold in the middle east. It's pretty similar to the North American spec, the trim levels for the 300 are the Limited, 300S, 300C, 300 Luxury Series and 300 SRT. It's interesting how FCA are selling both the 300 SRT and Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat in the middle east unlike the much larger American Market. Engine choices are the V6, 5.7 V8 Hemi and 6.4 Hemi SRT so it's pretty much the same as the amercain counterpart, No diesels are available. As for why would anyone in places like UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and other Arabian countries, buy an American car instead of Japanese, Korean or European? Well let's just say that everyone have their own opinions and taste of cars. That being said, American car brands like GM are quite popular here and had its peak popularity during the 70's. Muscle cars are pretty common among car enthusiasts as well. Nowadays, it's still somewhat common but not as popular as Hyundai or Toyota.

I’ll tell you which one is better,USA, i will give an example as to why:current mustang 26.000 dollars usa,38.000 euros europe

Speaking of Lancia UK and Ireland are the only places in Europe where Lancias are sold. Their cars are sold as Chryslers.

And you're saying 300, when you should be saying a 300c. We never got the 2.7v6

It’s in the description, I think it’s called Lakey Inspired or something?

how is 2005 the first generation? people just pretend the 1999 to 2004 300s didnt exist?

So Europe didn't like how the 300C looked "too American" and the Thema for not being pure Italian? I can understand the Thema situation, but the 300C situation is just them being whiny. I get that you guys for some reason hate Americans, but that doesn't mean you need to be biased against something just because it was made in North America.

Europe isn't a country. This is so commonly known, auto text typed that out unprompted

Europe is a nice country... but the Pacific is a better one

There was a 300 model before this one. 2001....

The 300M was the first generation Chrysler 300. More than five years before the second generation you are calling the first

tbh they are more rare thatn 911's

I live in Europe Poland and i have a Lincoln Navigator 2006 5.7 L V8 not hemi and a Chrysler 300C Station Wagon 3.5 L V6 Lincoln has 400 HP and Chrysler has 260 HP

In Europe a v8 isn't a attractive buy since most but hot hatches instead

Because taxes + gas prices make V8s unaffordable for 99% of people. If you can afford a V8 300C, then you could probably afford a 911 instead.

Very few people are cross shopping executive sedans with hot hatchbacks. Diesel engines are the preferred choice for large cars since they offer a good compromise between adequate performance and reasonable running costs. Many large asian and american cars have failed to gain a foothold in europe due to the lack of an economical engine option.

I think this car could have been a nice option to a Mercedes AMG. Also there are many American V8s driving in Europe. My stepfather has a Jeep Grand Cherokees with the V8 HEMI for example. And Mustang GTs are also popular. And the new Chevrolet Camaro and Cadillac Sedans are also getting sold in Eu. I would not say that V8 arent attractive here. Edit: I think Fiat Chrysler lost a opportunity here.

Did Europe get a better 300? Maybe for the first generation but definitely not for the second generation.

Btw, the Lancia Thema was a REAL bastard of a car being that the original 80’s version was a midsized car that offered a FERRARI V8 engine and phenomenal performance for the day!!! Then they gave them an engorged fat American footballer car as a “spiritual successor”. Damn the “purists”!!! ANY Lancia fan would have thought that SACRILEGE!!!!! Lancias are wonderful cars and they don’t deserve a rebadged Chrysler under ANY circumstance!!!

No, Lancias are TERRIBLE cars. They look great, they drive great, but they are unreliable, badly made, badly designed, and bear no resemblance to the classic 60s models
