I think the styling of the 300 was very significant.

Quote:

2005 Chrysler 300 — The Great American Sedan Returns
Excitement — real excitement — over a new American sedan pretty much evaporated after the first gas crisis of the 1970s. Sure, the Ford Taurus and Chrysler LH sedans were both innovative, and sold well as a result. But the interest surrounding those models had more to do with America finally producing a four-door car worthy of serious consideration in the face of Japan's ever encroaching sales numbers. However, when the all-new Chrysler 300 hit in the fall of 2004, there was a palpable sense of "Finally, a real American car worthy of real American desire." Not surprisingly, the 300 displayed many of the traits not seen on mainstream sedans in almost 30 years: a large, rear-wheel-drive platform offering a roomy interior and retro-styling. Topping it off was an available 340-horsepower V8 engine sporting four of the best known letters in automotive history: H-E-M-I.

The Insight? What a crock. Thrashy 3 cylinder engine, battery pack that at one time cost upwards of 4k plus labor. CVT transmissions that wail in reverse and shudder on accelleration. I don't think so.

Kudos for the C5 though.
