Chrysler Group revealed its all-new 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan at the 2011 North American International Auto Show. The company said that the 2011 Chrysler 300 is an icon of American ingenuity and symbolizes the greatness Detroit-designed vehicles offer the streets, highways and boulevards of the world.
The 2011 Chrysler 300 delivers contemporary styling with design details unexpected in the segment. The new sedan features an all-new grille at the front that features seven deeply sculpted horizontal blades expressing precision. For improved aerodynamics and visibility, the company raked back 3 inches of the Chrysler 300 luxury flagship’s windshield.
The company has introduced the 2011 Chrysler 300 series sedans in four highly equipped models: Chrysler 300, 300 Limited, 300C and 300C AWD. In addition, the Luxury and SafetyTec Groups provide customers with high-value content and innovative technology directly targeted for their specific needs.
The American automaker said that the all-new Chrysler 300 features its new second generation E-segment architecture with redesigned front- and rear-suspension geometry and all-new premium suspension hardware for world-class refinement.
In the 2011 Chrysler 300 and 300 Limited models, the company introduces the newest powertrain, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. When compared to the previous V-6 engines, fuel economy is improved by up to 8%. This engine delivers a power of 292 hp and a torque of 260 lb.-ft.
Chrysler Group has equipped the all-new 2011 Chrysler 300C model with the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that can deliver a power of 363 hp. With this engine, the vehicle can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds.

More American Car Buyers Opting for 4-Cylinder Over V6 and V8 Engines
0 comments Posted by erwan.safrinal7 at 4:36 PM
According to a report from IHS Automotive, in the first half of the year, more than 43% of the light vehicles sold in the US were equipped with four-cylinder engines, compared to just 30% five years ago.
It was the opposite in 2006, when V6s had a 43% market share. In the meantime, four cylinders� sales rose and those of six-cylinders declined, with the former overtaking the latter in 2009. The V8 is losing ground even faster: its sales account for one in every six vehicles, whereas in 2005 that number was one in three.
The four-cylinder domination is even bigger if you do not take into account fleet sales, where many vehicles are trucks or vans with V6 or V8 engines.
The choice of fewer cylinders in new cars is explained by the downsizing trend, due to the increasing oil prices and the manufacturers� efforts to build more fuel-efficient cars in order to meet the 35.5 mpg average consumption target set by the government for 2016.
For example, Ford�s new Ecoboost turbocharged four-cylinder coupled with six-speed transmission as standard has been introduced in many new models in its US line-up.
In addition, sales of smaller vehicles in the US are increasing, with small and mid-size sedans accounting for 44% of sales in 2001, compared to 36% six years ago.

Only a few months after it hit U.S. showrooms, and we have if not the first, at least one of the first stretch limousine transformation of the 2011 Chrysler 300.
It is based on the 3.6-liter V6 model and is virtually brand new having clocked only 71 miles.
As the seller notes on eBay, it comes with �all the bells and whistles�, which translates to a 140-inch stretch, more LEDs than you can possibly count, laser lights and the compulsory disco floor.
If you�re interested, it could be yours for $78,500 (Buy it Now price).

�People who are getting jobs are opting for practical vehicles such as a crossover to get better mileage than a traditional SUV�, said Carlos Gomes, an economist at Scotia Capital. �You have the construction sector holding up very well, and that is positive for the pickup segment.�
This has worked very well for Chrysler, which in the first half of the year has overtaken Ford in light truck segment. That is because, with oil prices rising, new truck buyers are opting for more fuel-efficient models.
For instance, Chrysler�s Dodge Journey sales increased more than the SUVs of rivaling carmakers Ford and GM, the Escape and the Chevrolet Equinox respectively.
However, in total vehicles sales including cars, Ford still leads the market with a 17.4% share, having also beaten GM in 2010 for the first time in many decades. GM is second, with a 15.5% market share, but it can feel Chrysler breathing down its neck with 15.0% and only 4,000 vehicles difference in the first half of the year.

Technically, Alfa has already returned to the market it abandoned in 1995 by selling 100 units of its 8C Competizione supercar. And Marchionne won�t exactly break his promise about 2012: the small detail is that it will be only with a few examples of the limited-edition 4C coupe.
If �and that�s a very big IF- everything goes according to schedule, Alfa�s actual second coming to the US will happen in mid-2013 starting with a compact crossover model.
The reason for the latest delay is the fact that Marchionne has thrice in the last 18 months rejected proposals for the new Giulia, the compact sport sedan that will replace the 159 and will be the second model, after the SUV, to be sold to the US market through Fiat dealerships.
Let�s keep our fingers crossed that this time it�s for real. Because since 2000, when the then-CEO Paolo Cantarella announced a return to the US in alliance with GM, which was subsequently pushed back to 2002 before being abandoned, we�ve already heard more than enough reports on the matter.
And this is all starting to sound like TV televangelists who every other day, and twice on Sundays, predict the end of the world yet, despite their "prophecies", planet Earth is still here.
