Edmunds.com named the all-new 2005 Chrysler 300 as its Most Significant Vehicle of the Year and the Editors' Most Wanted Sedan Under $25,000 for 2005. The Dodge Magnum was named Editors' Most Wanted Wagon Under $25,000 for 2005, while the Dodge Dakota was honored with the Editors' Most Wanted Compact Truck for 2005.

The Chrysler 300 offers elegant design and styling, combined with rear-wheel-drive performance in a stunningly affordable package. The Chrysler 300 also is available with optional all-wheel drive for outstanding performance and stability under all traction conditions.

Featuring the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8, Chrysler 300C provides the HEMI power customers want with the fuel economy they appreciate. This modern HEMI engine features a cylinder deactivation system, which seamlessly turns off the fuel consumption in four cylinders when V-8 power is not needed, improving fuel economy up to 20 percent.

The Dodge Magnum is an all-new, boldly styled, muscular vehicle, which delivers on-road performance and smart space unlike any other in the marketplace. The rear-wheel-drive Dodge Magnum sports tourer is the new shape of American muscle, celebrating what American muscle cars were in the past, but with a design and packaging configuration that charges into the future. The optional all-wheel-drive system on the Dodge Magnum provides best passenger car four-season traction.

The award-winning Dodge Magnum combines world-class safety technologies, a fuel-efficient 2.7-liter V-6 engine and all-new front and rear suspension system to provide excellent handling and a comfortable ride for under $25,000. The Dodge Magnum RT features an optional 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that has been engineered to deliver outstanding performance while also delivering minimal noise, vibration and harshness, maximum smoothness and low emissions.

Rounding out the Chrysler Group's awards from Edmunds.com is the all-new 2005 Dodge Dakota, which was named Editor's Most Wanted Compact Truck, marking Dakota's fifth time claiming this award. The bigger, bolder and tougher all-new Dodge Dakota is the largest, most powerful and most capable pickup in its class. With best-in-class torque and towing, the new 2005 Dodge Dakota delivers full-size pickup styling, feel and power, and two available V-8 engines.
