The Chrysler 300 was born to be bad, and its attitude hasn’t improved for 2013 — it may even be worse. Cars.com reviewer Aaron D. Bragman notes that if you’re a potential buyer of this big, old-school rear-wheel drive performance sedan, that’s a compliment. The 300 SRT8’s 470-horsepower, 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 boasts a high 4-second zero-to-60-mph time on its way to 175 mph. That should get you off the on-ramp OK. The five-speed automatic transmission is a bit of a clunker, and this thing wasn’t built for fuel economy, but who are we kidding here? Read Bragman’s review for more choir serenading.
