There was a time when a Chrysler‘s performance, quality and technology was unquestioned. Chrysler Corporation was one of the most successful carmakers in the world until the early 1990s. Gradually, competition grew tougher and Chrysler’s dominance over automobile industry faded. However, people still consider a Chrysler as the mark of class and luxury. Perhaps, this is the reason behind the large market for preowned Chrysler.

Chrysler’s inclination towards heavy fuel consuming vehicles put it on the back gear against increasing fuel prices and environmental awareness. Now there is a ray of hope with Chrysler’s completely new lot of fuel-efficient hybrid sedans and SUVs. Here are some quick notes on Chrysler’s latest performance oriented fuel-efficient cars.

2009 Chrysler 300

With the 2009 Chrysler 300 the carmaker has brought the new generation of Chrysler cars in the market. The new 300 gets an even more powerful V8. The big sedan shares structural similarities with Dodge Charger. All five trims of 300 – LX, Touring, Limited, 300C and 300C STR8 are available with rear wheel drive. While the basic LX has a 178Hp 2.7L V6 the more sophisticated version 2009 Chrysler 300C SRT8 gets a huge 425 Horse power thrust from a super 6.1L Hemi V8 engine.

Deploying the next generation interactive transfer case technology also gives 2009 Chrysler 300 an extra edge in the competitive market. The new technology, a part of BorgWarner's Torque-on-Demand(R) product portfolio, optimizes the all-wheel drive performance. In addition to transfer case hardware, BrogWarner also provides the required software controls for vehicle’s level integration. Therefore, it is evident from the 2009 Chrysler 300 reviews that both auto experts and enthusiasts have reasons to see good marketing prospect for the new Chrysler 300.
