MSRP range: $29,865-$33,295

Notes: The 300M entered its sixth and final season in 2004. The two-model range continued unchanged, with an early launch of the '04 model year to close out the model's production. The next generation of Chrysler sedans debuted for 2005, abandoning the cab-forward philosophy that the Concorde and Intrepid pioneered in favor of a bolder rear-wheel drive setup.
