What It Is We're hearing that Chrysler is working on a full-size electric family sedan reprising the “300” name, taking design elements and tech from the stunning Halcyon concept. The previous 300 (pictured below and in the gallery) was notable for its muscular elegance that was also culturally cool. It was powerful, with an available Hemi V-8 engine. For an idea of its importance, when Chrysler was on the brink of bankruptcy in 2008 and removing lightbulbs from empty Detroit offices to cut its electricity bill, the next-generation 300 was one of the few vehicles that continued development. The Halcyon, while futuristic, signals Chrysler’s continued belief in the viability of an elegant sedan, but with functionality, perhaps courtesy of next-generation Stow ’n Go seats. (The concept’s seats retracted into the rear trunk area.)
