Chrysler Nassau – 300C Successor?
August 14, 2007 by George Skentzos
With the 300C due for a revamp later this year, the Chrysler Nassau is perhaps the best look at what the 300C could become.
Sitting on the same 120-inch platform as the 300C, it shares a familiar HEMI power plant and sends its power to the rear wheels.
Replacing the 300C is no easy feat as it seems to have carved out its own genre in automotive design. The Nassau is no different, Chrysler have taken this habit for niche penetrating designs one step further, testing the waters with the executive hatchback styling of the Nassau.
“…the dash looks like it was designed to work in both left and right hand drive applications. The seats look and feel like they were designed to be mass produced – unlike most concepts.”
The overall design is far from American, big and bold – normally the bane of American cars – is well complimented by superb styling and expression.
Whilst obviously nothing is confirmed, if the Nassau is overwhelmed with positive feedback it is more than likely you could see something very similar baring the 300C badging.

I like the styling – a lot! Let’s hope they build both the sedan and the wagon.
I agree with you… an American car that looks really hot and not a squarish slab of extra large upgraded crap that they force feed the public with…
I love the 300C and if I had the spare cash would buy one in an instant!
This concept looks equally tasty too. I wonder how much I can get for my kid on the black market?
Why, I have only spotted a handful on the road? Sort of an ugly squarish “Upgrade to large Meal please” slab of metal! A box on wheels!
This concept is many light years ahead of the 300C in terms of styling and class for design
There is hope for the SEPS with classy cutting edge designs (USA). I won’t upgrade mine please, just give me one of these to buy!!!
Dam, this thing is beautiful. The interior quality doesn’t look half bad for an American car either. Is it just me; but do the taillights remind you of the ones on the Chrysler MeeFourTwelve concept form a few years back?
Only crap on car me thinks is point bit under dash (look at top of tan coloured trim on passenger front) = knee killer. MINOR POINT THIS IS; WHO CARES THE CAR IS DAM WELL HOT AS!
the only way this car would beat out the 300C is if it were a sedan. they already tried the hatchback with the magnum and it didnt impress me. the 300C is one of a kind. chrysler will have a tough time replacing it. nassau sedan mabey but no hatchback
hey, guys a design study lets take the headlights of the chrysler 200c concept add them to the nassau use the nassau taillights and make it a sedan and lets see how it looks…………………
eei
