2007 Chrysler Nassau Concept http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/28/c...o-for-detroit/
Meh. The 300 is going to need a facelift soon if Chrysler doesn't want it to look like last years big hit so I say they apply the Nassau's front and rear styling to the 300 for 2008 or 2009. I wish Chrysler went with a traditional 4 door sedan for this concept as the 5 door hatch layout does NOT do it justice. The rear end looks tacked on like that of the Malibu Maxx or any of BMWs current products. Overall I think this thing is pretty damn ugly in terms of its proportions and I could give a damn if its powered by Chrysler 6.1L Hemi. 500hp does not make BMWs E63 M6 any less ugly than it is and unfortunately for Chrysler, a 6.1L Hemi isn't the answer to this things crappy looking stance. However I will say that the Nassau has some slick front and rear styling cues that I'd love to see applied to the next gen Chrysler 300. I think it'd help to deretroize the 300 and take it further into the 21st century styling wise. Much less rounded and bloated looking than the current 300 from the front and the LEDs make the car look much more upscale than it is. Something that I think would help to further distance the 300 from its Charger and Magnum siblings.
My take, ditch the concept, stay away from last year's Imperal concept, but keep the front and rear styling cues around and have them applied to the next 300.
