I think it's a great idea. More options the better for us! Would I buy it? NO WAY! ... But it might push Toyota/Lexus to bring sport models out. (which again, is good for us! )

I can't wait to see S badges on corollas and civics, next to the stick on fender vents.

I work for a Chrysler dealership and when the 300S for model year 2010 came in, or course there where the cosmetic changes but they all had sport seats, different suspension and exhaust. Dont bash me for saying this but how is it any different from F-Sport from Lexus?

Trust me, Im not a fan of chrysler, i would never buy a Chrysler jeep or dodge because I see them everyday plus the problems with the NEW models, but the S on the 300 is more than looks, its a little bit underneath too

LOL. No offense, but you're probably no longer in the age group they are aiming at. I know I'm not.

LOL, but I don't think Chrysler has a clue what age group they are going after. It's a weak attempt regardless.

OK. I get that way myself sometimes, but I didn't quite notice the sarcasm in this case. I'll take your word for it, though.

So if I want to feel youthful, I need to get a red S badge....crap...GROUP BUY!!
You were (arguably, with the possible exception of Ryan) the first CL member to test-drive an IS-F. That should have made you feel young enough.
