Not wanting to be left out of all the fun that the Jeep has been picking up lately with all its concept vehicles and special reveals, Chrysler is introducing a new appearance package for the 2017 Chrysler 300S.

The new appearance package is meant to lighten up the blacked-out 300S model and give it a more athletic styling.  Hence the name Sport Appearance Package.  With an update to both the exterior and interior of the 300S, sedan drivers should be very happy with what Chrysler is now offering.

“The new 2017 Chrysler 300S re-excites the passion of what owning an American flagship sedan is about,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands at FCA North American.  “And now for our Chrysler enthusiasts, two all-new sport appearance packages that take the 300S model’s athletic styling and appointments to the next level.”

The Exterior Sport Appearance Package will be standard on the 300S V-8 model and available for the V-6 models.  It comes with a more aggressive front fascia with larger air intakes, unique LED fog lamps, and sculpted side sills.  The fog lamps are exclusive to the Exterior Sport Appearance Package.

As for the Interior Sport Appearance Package, this adds sport-contoured leather seating with upgrades for more cradling and to make it even more comfortable for the driver and passengers.  Not only that, but the seats are heated and ventilated.

The Sports Appearance Package will be available for ordering in August of this year.

Chrysler: We’re Still “Imported from Detroit”

imported-from-detroitNot that long ago, there were rumors going around that Chrysler might be moving away from their popular “Imported from Detroit” ad campaign, but last week, Chrysler’s chief marketing officer Olivier Francois announced that “Imported from Detroit” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Francois assured Chrysler fans in a statement that, “’Imported from Detroit’ is and will continue to be the tagline for the Chrysler brand.” He recognizes that the tagline appeals to consumers who don’t want to “cross an ocean” to find a quality car with modern style and technology.

“Imported from Detroit” will be used this year for the 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown edition and the 2013 Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Luxury Edition, and Chrysler will continue to offer “Imported from Detroit” merchandise through their website.

You can watch the original “Imported from Detroit” Super Bowl commercial below.

We want to hear from you, our readers. What do you think of Chrysler sticking with their “Imported from Detroit” campaign? Are you glad they are keeping it, or do you want a whole new campaign? Leave a comment below, and tell us what you think.

Will the Chrysler 300 Get a Diesel Engine?

exterior_112If there is one thing that I’ve been reading a lot of in the news recently concerning Chrysler, it’s the word diesel.  Much has been said about the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee having an EcoDiesel engine, which hasn’t been offered since 2009.  The new Ram 1500 will be getting diesel as well.  I picture an Oprah-like scene at their headquarters, “You get a diesel, you get a diesel; everyone gets a diesel!!”

The next possibility is the Chrysler 300.  Ward’s Auto asked Saad Chehab, Chrysler President, if the 300 will be getting a diesel engine.  He said that it’s still being considered and may be awhile before any official announcement.  What Chrysler is trying to figure out is if it’s even worth the money to make this happen.

“It’s a matter of how much the customer is willing to pay for that premium.  That’s the only issue with it.”  Chehab said.

What may help the 300 get this new engine is that the 2014 Chrysler 200 is rumored to have a diesel engine with its new redesign.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
