2002 Chrysler 300M
Body style(s): 4-door sedan
Trim Levels: base, Special
MSRP range: $28,540-$32,065
Notes: The 300M Special was added for 2002. In this sedan, the engine
was tweaked to produce an extra 5hp and 3lb-ft of torque. Some unique
bodyside moldings were provided, and the suspension was tightened. The
Special also offered HID lights, a full-size spare, and 18" wheels. Sales
of the 300M slipped by a quarter in calendar year 2001; its LHS twin
suffered a 58 percent drop, which is why only the 300M continued into 2002.
