Default Top-line Chrysler 300 is a rebadged Lancia Thema

November 21, 2011 - 12:01 am ET

LOS ANGELES -- The Chrysler brand is moving its 300 flagship sedan upscale
with the 300 Luxury Series. Production of the 300C Luxury Series has begun
in Brampton, Ontario, and the cars will go on sale in February.

The 300 Luxury Series essentially will be a Lancia Thema wearing a Chrysler
badge. It will be positioned at the top of the 300 lineup.
"It's a Lancia pitched as a Chrysler," said Saad Chehab, CEO of the Chrysler
and Lancia brands.

The Luxury Series will be sold with two powertrains: a V-8 Hemi teamed with
a five-speed automatic transmission and a Pentastar V-6 engine teamed with
Chrysler's new eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Lancia Thema is the top-of-the-line Lancia sedan built on Chrysler's LX
platform. It also is built in Brampton.

The Luxury Series is Chrysler's latest effort at broadening the range of its
flagship 300. Chrysler has also launched S-badged models aimed at younger
consumers. The S cars come without the chrome and leather that have
characterized the 300 and will come with the Pentastar V-8 and the new
eight-speed automatic.

Since Fiat assumed management control of Chrysler Group, the Chrysler and
Lancia brands have been merging and sharing more models.

Somehow, this makes it sound more like the Thema is a 300 pitched as a
Lancia..

Pentastar V-8? Or V-6?

Since the Lancia Thema is a rebadge of the Chrysler 300, what the new
Chrysler 300 Luxury Series will be, is a rebadge of a rebadge.
