Consumer Reports ranks redesigned Chrysler 300 among better upscale sedans

Revamped for 2011, the Chrysler 300C scored an “Excellent” overall road test score of 80 in Consumer Reports’ latest tests of four upscale sedans, up from 64 for the previous model. The 300C now ranks midpack among the 10 upscale sedans that have been tested by CR. Previously, it had been near the bottom of the pack. It’s unusual to see a redesigned model rise so far in Consumer Reports’ ratings. CR’s engineers and editors called the new 300 “the best Chrysler sedan we’ve seen in decades.”
