I'm not sure where you are from but the only people who drive Chrysler 300s are drug dealers or really old people. It's just a strange car to drive.

Logically, there's nothing wrong with a Chrysler 300, but emotionally, everything is wrong with a Chrysler 300.

And we humans happen to be emotional beings. Well...some of us.

You have to be so cross when you produce a car and that’s what happens to your client base. What do you do? Give it a facelift? Test when dealers don’t like it? “No no we want you to tell us which one you like least.”

In USA and certain degree Canada though "older people" is a huge rich client base. It's not necessarily a miss! Cadillac got re-cooled around second Matrix movie, but for a long time real estate / insurance agents and above-55 was basically their sum total audience (drug dealers aside :)... And it may be getting back there.
