Default Seats???

It looks like the seats are going to be the same shape as the ones in the Charger/300?
My mom has a Chrysler 300C, and I've got to say I'm not a fan of those seats - specifically the parts that tilt up - kind of the part you sit on and goes up by your legs...
Anywho, I was wondering what some of you guys thought about it.

We have been so into the choice of Hemis and 5 speed auto sticks and 6-speed manual and independent rear suspension. Color choices and wheel selection, that not too many people have spent much time on the interior. But a good question no doubt. I personally like the heated seats in my sons 06 Charger Daytona, they are comfortable and very supportive.

Good one, Awsure.

Though the seats question is an excellent consideration. We don't want to be hypocrites as make fun of women who'll torture themselves in some crazy heeled shoe, because the just love the way the look. I'm not sweating it too much of course I'm sure they won't skimp. Remember the post outlining the new commitment to finer quality cabins and interiors. I'm sure this car means enough to garner attention on all aspects, including seats, floor mats, visors, etc.

Well they are a little different. They certainly don't look identical as they look more like the classic seats did. What I have posted here is the Challenger's seats, then the 300C's, then the Charger SRT-8's (which I believe are similar to the Daytona's), and finally a photo of the classic Challenger's seats to compare.

I would image that if you don't like the seats, you can always go to Wal-Mart later and buy a cushion to provide the support that you would prefer. That's what I did after I bought my Intrepid as the seats were cutting off my circulation when I would have to do a lot more stop and go driving (not something you want to have happen).

Also something to remember, many modern cars specifically the higher levels are adjustable via an electronic switch. Many times you can adjust the seat to tilt at a different angle so this might resolve any issues you might have.

For the flat, vinyl slabs that they are, the seats in my '70 are amazingly comfortable, even for someone with a mildly bad back -- just don't go around any corners too fast.

Back in the day... 1977. I could tell if the girl I was dateing would get another date by where she would sit in my car. I had bucket seats in the Challenger and if the girl sat next to me on the uncomfortable trans hump, then she was a keeper I would cruise town and your girl would have to sit next to you or the guys would rib you about it at school the next day. The really smart girls on the second date would bring a small pillow. AHHHH the days before seat belt laws
