NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Chrysler 300M

For the 1999 model year, DaimlerChrysler revived the 300 name on the 300M. This time it was a front-wheel drive, V6 engined car using the Chrysler LH platform. While not technically part of the famous "letter series" of the 1950s and 1960s, Chrysler did have a sense of continuity, using the next letter, M, after the last 300L. It was 10 inches shorter than the Concorde, and was priced above the Concorde. The 300M was a luxury car as opposed to the mainstream status on the Concorde.

When Chrysler redesigned the LH-cars in 1998, the Eagle Vision was discontinued. In order to fill the "import-fighter" gap, the Eagle Vision's position, Chrysler brought back the 300 name. Chrysler once stated that if the Eagle brand wasn't dropped, the 300M would instead be sold as a redesigned Eagle Vision. Indeed, a couple of design images surfaced on the Internet showing a 300M with an Eagle badge on the grille. The 300M was similar in exterior and almost identical in the interior as the Chrysler Concorde. The 300M also fit the European "5 metre" size class for export, unlike the substantially similar LHS. It had the same wheelbase as the Dodge Intrepid, Eagle Vision, and pre-2003 Chrysler Concorde, reducing its length by cutting front and rear overhangs.

Only one engine was available, the Chrysler-engineered 3.5 L V6 designed for the LH line and not used on any other vehicle until the arrival of the Chrysler Pacifica; it was connected to a four-speed automatic transmission with Autostick, which allowed manual selection of gears. Gear ratios differed from other LH models, for better acceleration at the cost of gas mileage. A 300M Special model included plastic imitation-carbon-fiber trim panels, replacing the woodgrain trim panels, along with a slightly more powerful engine, dual exhaust and high-intensity discharge headlamps. 18-inch Z-rated wheels and tires were also standard on the Special. Other options included premium "Waterfall" leather seats, signal mirrors, body cladding, and slightly lower ride height.^[1] The single overhead cam V6 introduced in 1993 was a major advancement for Chrysler. ...
