Smile Spied 2008/09 Chrysler 300 Facelift

Here an article: Spy photographers have snapped some photos of a facelifted Chrysler 300 prototype. The car's headlights are unchanged — so far — but it appears to have a new set of taillights. From the five test cars that have been spotted to date, only the tail-ends have been covered in camouflage, suggesting the changes to the rear might be the focus of this update.
Some of the most extensive changes might come to the interior, where a complete overhaul is said to be planned. Speaking to the Automotive Press Association in May, Ralph Gilles, vice president of design at the Chrysler Group said, "we need an update […] you're going to see a significant improvement in the interior of that car."

I am sure whatever facelift Bentley does, the 300C will have.

The car, IMO, doesn't really need an improved interior, looks-wise, per se...especially the uplevel tortise-shell-trim model. On the surface, it LOOKS fine. What it needs, like virtually every other Dodge / Chrysler product, is an improvement in the materials that the interior is MADE of. Like the current Ford Mustang, the material quality used inside the car, for the price, is insultingly cheap....and cheaper Chrysler products are even worse.

Did the article include any of those spy shots? I don't see any posted...or any web site links.

This car was not even on my to drive list because of the TERRIBLE interior. Not only are the materials crap (as you point out), but the look is terrible and mucho vertical as well.
