The Chrysler 300C Platinum Makes An Imposing Statement


By Darlene Donloe

THE CAR: 2015 300C Platinum

Talk about a smooth, comfortable ride! The 300C Platinum not only looks good on the outside, it also looks good on the inside. The panel is user friendly. The speakers are bumping. There is lots of legroom, which, for me, at 5’10”, makes it a winner and my new best friend. Whether you’re the snooty type with your nose up in the air, or the more grounded type, this car can go both ways. It’s elegant, but it’s also not afraid to get down and dirty. The model I drove had a granite crystal metallic clear coat exterior and a black interior, which was luscious. The interior boasts luxury leather and perforated insert seats. I don’t think there is anything like it on the market.
