Chrysler-300-Bling China-1

Some people just want to make sure their ride is recognizable on the street or to be able to pick it out instantly in a parking lot.  For one Chrysler 300 the idea of one-of-a-kind just went a very long way.

A Chrysler 300 over in China got itself one hell of a decal.  The specialized 300 is covered front to back in shiny stones made out of plastic to make it look like a sparkling sedan.  Carscoop covered the whole of the custom work to make this 300 really stick out.

“(the 300) comes fitted with huge 21-inch allow wheels, also decorated in the same material, suicide-style rear doors, Lamborghini-style front scissor-doors, and a body kit complete with 150mm wide side sills.”

If you thought the fascinating work ended there, then wait until you see inside.  The interior continue the outside visual aesthetic with white leather on everything, even the floor mats.  Whoever wants this 300 certainly wants to have a different kind of luxury.

As to how long something like this comes together, it takes somewhere around 4 months.  For just the wheels, it took a single person three days to complete.  To see more pics, follow the link to the Carscoop article.

New Chrysler Town & Country Possibly Caught on Spy Photos

Chrysler Town and Country Next Generation Spied

The Chrysler 200 has a new face and the 2015 Chrysler 300 is a the final look before it gets an update, leaving only one vehicle in family left to get something new.  The five-year plan that Chrysler laid out shows that the Town & Country will be getting a revamp in its next release, but they have not released any information or pictures on how it will look. One intrepid photographer may have found the new design roaming the wild.

The photos popped up on Motor Trend and like all the prototypes caught on film, it is heavily camouflaged under black tarps.  That can only hide so much, but one thing that is obvious from the pictures is that the minivan will be getting a new look.

That is if it is indeed the Town & Country.  It is possible that it could be a whole new-vehicle, as Motor Trend theorizes.  It could be an all-new seven-passenger crossover that Chrysler is planning to put out to compete against Chevy and Toyota.

Who knows what it could be.  Is it a glimpse into what the next minivan in the Chrysler line-up will look like or is it an all-new vehicle all together?  No word on when Chrysler is planning on lifting that curtain for a first-look at the new Town & Country but I can’t wait to see what comes out of Chrysler engineers next if I’m using the 200 and the Jeep Cherokee as any example to go by.

Highlights from the FCA Montreal Winter Drive Program

FCA Chrysler - ChryslerDealerNY

We covered the FCA Montreal Winter Drive Program a bit ago.  It might sound like a school event, but it is really a giant ice covered obstacle course that Chrysler set up to show off how amazing their vehicles are on winter surfaces.  Every major vehicle of theirs made an appearance in some form or another, such as Dodge with the Charger Pursuit –the police variant- and the Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk.  Courses were designed to test steering and hills.  While I was not lucky enough to attend, Kristin Barclay of In Deep H2O was able to and had some interesting tidbits to share about the event.

The most interesting highlight is the one she makes about the AWD capable Chryslers.  She quotes a stat that “In 2014, 32% of all Chrysler 300 sedans and 30% of all Dodge Chargers sold were all-wheel drive vehicles.”  She also explains that she didn’t really understand the difference between AWD and the rest of the set-ups.  Even living in a place with regular snow fall makes me feel like I’m terribly unaware of the real differences.

She experience with the 2015 Chrysler 200 is one that I find interesting.  Not just that I like the new sedan, but how well it handles itself on the icy terrain.  She talks about the AWD system in the 200 and how it “sends up to 60 percent of the engine’s output to the rear tires.”  She also got the chance to feel the difference between winter and all-season tires.

Another ego boost for the sedan is that when she asked the professional instructors at the event which vehicle they enjoyed the most.  Their answer, which I do agree with you that I would’ve thought one of the bigger trucks or meaner muscle cars, was the 2015 200.
