Chrysler Teases 2011MY 300, 200 and Town & Country �S� Concepts at LX Spring Festival

Chrysler found the perfect opportunity to preview its upcoming range of �S� models at the 6th Annual Spring Festival of LXs in Irvine, California this past weekend. The Detroit automaker showed off the �S� trimmed 2011MY 300 sedan, 200 Convertible and Town & Country in concept forms, though all three models are scheduled to enter production later this year starting with the 200 this spring.

According to Chrysler, the �S� treatment is a cosmetic package designed to appeal to younger customers that want something more �edgy� in terms of style. On the 300, this translates to a bespoke gunmetal finish, a new front grille, smoked headlamps and taillights, beefier alloy wheels in a unique design, a boot lid spoiler and if we�re not mistaken (since Chrysler has not released any official details), a lowered suspension. The interior also receives a makeover with red leather seats sporting the �S� logo and bespoke trim.
