Re: Chrysler 300C SRT8, Audi A6 2.0T Test Drive, RS4 sneek peek.

Thanks for the review here, too.

The SRT8 is a strange car for Singapore. I guess that type of car isn't really common, let alone the high performance version. That said, the person who can afford one and wants one can also typically afford a lot of other cars, too, so the Chrysler had better be pretty darn good.

By contrast, in Australia, this type of car is much more common, and the 300C has been quite competitive compared with high-spec versions of the other large Australian domestic cars.

Honestly, I can only imagine that the SRT8 is going to be a bit of an orphan car in Singapore. It seems to have neither the luxury and quality, the badge or the price to get any real market share of any particular segment. At least the Quattroporte has the badge and the luxury to be worthwhile, even if price is higher and performance is similar.
