Chrysler has created the only website among the Detroit Three that accepts applications for both hourly and salaried jobs.
The new website, www.chryslercareers.com , replaces separate sites for hourly and salaried workers. It debuts as Chrysler prepares to add at least 2,350 manufacturing jobs in the next year in Detroit and Toledo.
Unlike its Detroit competitors, Chrysler has not used explicit referrals from employees in its post-bankruptcy hiring process . The company hires only from online applications. To avoid gathering far more applications than it has openings, many of Chrysler's hourly jobs are posted for a short time -- a sore subject among job-seekers who routinely checked the old hourly jobs site without finding an opening.
But the new site allows applicants to register their interest for a certain type of job, even if it's not posted. Chrysler will send them an e-mail or text when it posts a position that might match their skills and interests.
"It's about that candidate who really wants to work at Chrysler: We don't want to lose them," said Georgette Dulworth, director of diversity and talent acquisition.

The job posting still closes after a certain number of applicants have registered, but interested candidates at least have notice when the application process first opens. Current employees also get a notice at work that jobs are posting.

After a job posting closes, the automaker screens applicants in the order in which they applied. In recent years, it has built a bank of thousands of résumés, so it may not open an application window for all plants that will add jobs.
The new site opens with an animation of a Jeep driving through scenes of Chrysler workers from all areas of the company. The trip kicks off with the slogan "Be part of something bigger," chosen from employee focus groups.
Any Chrysler model has the uncanny ability to both fit in and stand out at the same time, and that is because of the company's unique standards. Designed for performance and pleasure, Chrysler has also been a force to be reckoned with when it comes to unbridled style. Judging by the sleekness of some of their autos and parts, it is easy to see why most drivers feel as if their version was created especially for them. In the past, the perks of a luxury automobile normally didn't coincide with the dependable and economical features Chrysler has to offer, which is precisely how the company rose to prominence. Generations later, Chrysler owners still have the same gratification behind the wheel. At CARiD, we love people who love their cars.

Batman Drives a Chrysler

Chrysler just won’t end its association with a dark and brooding urban presence. But now that presence is Batman, not Detroit.

For the July 20 release of The Dark Knight Rises, the final piece of the Warner Bros. “prequel” trilogy about the rise of Batman, Chrysler has launched an “Imported from Gotham City” campaign that kicked off with a contest that allows fans to help create an original co-branded TV spot featuring the Chrysler 300 and Batman.

On Tuesday the campaign continued with the first airing, on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, of a 3o-second co-branded spot by the automaker and the studio that depicts a “transformation” of a Chrysler 300S into a custom-designed Chrysler 300 “Dark Knight Rises” edition.

“The TV spot was designed and shot to look and feel as if it could live inside the Gotham City itself,” Chrysler CMO Olivier Francois noted in his blog.

Affiliating with The Dark Knight Rises is an interesting strategy for the Chrysler brand. It has been veering away from its original, Eminem-based “Imported from Detroit” positioning since it ran the thematically associated but polemically challenged Clint Eastwood spot during the last Super Bowl in February. The most recent significant ads from Chrysler are a suite of four TV spots that the company hatched several weeks ago, one for each of its brands, and none of them relies on being set in the Motor City.

Considering the rate at which the Chinese market gobbles up Buick models, you'd think it would be a prime market for Chrysler. Yet the House of the 300 wasn't present in China at all in recent years, as the brand has just announced at the Beijing Motor Show its return to the Chinese market.
In the coming months, it will begin selling both the 300C and the Grand Voyager, and to mark the occasion it has presented a special design concept of its top-of-the-line sedan. Much like sister-brand Jeep adopted the dragon symbol for its special-edition Wrangler, the Chrysler brand went with the Ruyi – a scepter-like object symbolizing prosperity and good fortune – for its 300 show car.
The design concept is distinguished by unique ten-spoke 22-inch wheels, dark chrome trim to complement the black paint and tone-on-tone "speed stripe," aero kit, custom grille, tinted glass and special badging. Meanwhile the interior is done up in a variety of metal finishes, with French-stitched beige suede and leather.The first thing everyone notices about the Chrysler 300 is the supersonic luxurious taste and feel.

Chrysler 300 “Street Machine”

Chrysler is using the 2012 Chicago Auto Show,  to commemorate the 75th anniversary of its Mopar performance parts division by displaying several Mopar-customized vehicles. Their display is using the modified cars to demonstrate how they can be modified — either directly from the factory or at the dealership — with aftermarket parts to add style and performance.
Among the customized vehicles on display is a special-edition Chrysler 300 sporting specialized modifications that are added at the factory and can be ordered directly from dealers.
“Customization is king,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC’s service, parts and customer-care brand (pictured above). “These head-turning ‘Moparized’ vehicles show how we can go to the next level of personalization.”
The all-black limited-edition Chrysler 300 “Street Machine” features Mopar-blue pinstripes and black 20-inch forged aluminum wheels wearing high-performance all-season tires outside. An all black interior features a thick-rimmed steering wheel with die-cast paddle shifters (for Auto Stick), a unique Mopar shifter handle wrapped in black leather and stitched with matching Mopar Blue thread, and perforated Katzkin leather seats, also with Mopar blue stitching.
Luxurious, stylish, shiny, custom wheels are not simple accessories. As alchemists could transform one form of matter into another, so the proper rims can modify the vehicle's look. They are powerful enough to turn a daily driver into an opulent car, and to underline the inherent elegance of any luxury vehicle.

Chrysler 300C

Chrysler 300C overall verdict.  
We'll only get two versions of the 3.0-litre diesel V6 in the UK, available in 187bhp and 239bhp trim. The latter also boasts 406 torques, and will do the 0-62mph dash in 7.8 seconds. Not massively quick, but considering it weighs two tonnes, not bad either. We might, might get the US's Pentastar V6, and considering the Grand Cherokee now comes in SRT-8 trim, there is hope of petrol firepower.
