About this time last year I penned a blog entitled “.” Honestly, I didn’t really believe the “at least” part of that headline; that was what we in the business like to call “hedging,” when you have no faith in something you’ve just written but don’t want to look like an idiot at an indeterminate time in the future. And hey, hedging is worth it every now and then, because wouldn’t you know the is sticking around for the 2023 model year. Hooray.

Unsurprisingly, we all almost collectively didn’t notice. Stellantis published a on September 1 announcing what’s new for the 2023 300. It has one option — the SafetyTec Plus Group, which now comes optional on the base 300 Touring model. Last year’s big addition, if you need reminding, .

With the SafetyTec bundle comes a 180-amp alternator and 276-watt amplifier, six-speaker Alpine sound system, advanced brake assist, rain-sensing wipers, LaneSense lane departure warning with lane keep assist, ParkSense front and rear park assist, auto high-beam control, full-speed forward collision warning with active braking and adaptive cruise control (ACC) with stop.

On the 2022 Touring L trim, the SafetyTec package cost $2,395. Offering it on the base version as well brings the two closer together, though the Touring L adds luxuries like leather seats and an exterior appearance group with lots of glossy black accents, the sort every 300 owner seems to want.

2023 may hold one additional surprise for Chrysler’s sedan, however, in the form of a “special edition.” The press release says only that information on that nameless model will be “announced later.” Next week’s may provide an opportunity. On Tuesday, the brand , promising the “bring the power in 2023.”

You’d have to imagine it’s a send-off, right? After all, 2023 will mark . There’s no need to hedge anymore — the venerable, ancient 300 is finally meeting its end, and it’s best we come to terms with that sooner rather than later. The best way for Chrysler to soothe our grief, I think we can all agree, is by stuffing a Hellcat in the final edition.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
