Chrysler replaced the front-wheel-drive Concorde for the 2005 model year by re-launching the full-size, rear-wheel-driven, V-8-powered American sedan in the form of the 300. All-wheel drive (AWD) and V-6 power were also offered, and in 2007 Chrysler added a long-wheelbase version with 6 more inches between the front and rear axles. With its Bentley-like exterior design, the 300 has looked more like a luxury car than a standard-sized American sedan since it was released. Despite a 2008 exterior refresh, the 300 maintains that luxury look.
