I was having my oil changed (I purchased my own oil and saved $50) at Huntington Beach Chrysler and decided to take a look and at the new 2009 300C SRT8. I have a 2007 so there are some diff but I noticed the body of the new 09's are very square looking and sitting to high. I love my 07 and it has beautiful body lines but I didn't get the same feeling from the 09. What's your opinion on the 09 300C SRT's

I didn't know there was much of a change. Guess I better have a look.

Yes, big change to rear of the vehicle were the rear wing is now incorporated into the trunk and this is standard on all 300. Also, it's my opinion that the car sits a little higher then our current SRT8"s. Seems like the German sports sedan look has been lost.

You should have seen it coming...

I was at my local service department yesterday getting my oil changed too, and to have them repair the instrument cluster lighting (they couldn’t, so they ordered a new one and asked me to return tomorrow so they could swap it out). Anyway…

I don’t bother looking at the new models anymore. The changes were enough for me to all but eliminate the idea of moving into a newer 300. But it’s a non-issue; because I am completely and totally satisfied with my ’05. And that’s been since before the change.
