Chrysler 300 LX (1st Generation)

2005–2010 · LX · sedan

Built on the Chrysler/Mercedes co-developed LX platform — shared with the Dodge Charger LX and Magnum wagon. Engines: 2.7L V6 (178hp), 3.5L V6 (250hp), 5.7L HEMI V8 (340-368hp in 300C), and the SRT8 6.1L HEMI (425hp). The Magnum wagon and 300 wagon stayed in markets outside the US. Original LX styling is widely credited with reviving Chrysler's design language.

Watch out: 5.7L HEMI MDS lifter failure — driver-side bank cylinder-deactivation lifters collapse and often eat the camshaft. The 2.7L V6 has its own legacy of sludge-related catastrophic failure if oil changes were missed (it has a small oil capacity and runs hot).
