You are merely uninformed. The LX/LC series of cars has been out since late 04. Where have you been? Hint: that 2.7 you love to hate is long gone. Easy question: how many have you actually owned? Or are your opinions simply based on your Internet research?
I'll be the first to admit that Chrysler's cheap ECONOMY cars generally stink up the place. But the facts show that the LX (300, Magnum, Charger) and the recently released LC (Challenger) are very reliable and sell like hotcakes. Overwhelmingly accepted by the public and widely viewed as excellent platforms. Sales don't lie.
My biz owned dozens of Chrysler products in the 80's and got great service out of them. Before that it was all Ford around here. We went GM in the 90's. All have been excellent money making platforms with reasonable maintenance. We buy whatever we feel gives us the best return on our investment, we would change brands in a heartbeat if the dollars were there!
In August of 05 my car (300C SRT8) retailed for 39k. At the time to get a 4 door luxury sedan even near comparable was 70-80k. CR gave the car a negative review BEFORE IT WAS EVEN AVAILABLE! Hello? No bias? You have to be kidding.
An extremely "robust" chassis is the backbone of the LX/LC cars and they are stiffer than a 911 torsionally with the first hydroformed chassis in a production sedan. They have so many features, yet so few are aware of them.
Ignorance is no good reason to brand bash. Buying into bad info published on the Internet isn't either. All brands get bashed here, bias and polarization are not regarded as positives by everyone. I just came from an Audi thread where someone was just a-bashin' away! Virtually every single brand with any sales in this country gets bashed on this forum, many times simply based on the reporting of the extremely small number of folks with problems who post all over the place. Many of those could quickly be resolved at the stealerships.
But the folks who get great service are rarely posting about it...
