" DETROIT \u2014 Don&amp;#039;t be fooled by the rounded shapes and tight contours of the body on the Chrysler Nassau Concept car. In real terms, this is a full-sized car\u2014powerfully equipped enough that it would sit at the top of Chrysler&amp;#039;s sedan lines if the company ever decided put it into production. Like Chrysler&amp;#039;s 300 in its uniqueness, the Nassau&amp;#039;s styling would be a standout at any price level. Numbers tell the story. The four-door, four-passenger sedan rides on a full-size 120-inch wheelbase. Ten-spoke tires are full-sized, too, at 21-in. front and rear. Beneath the hood is a 6.1-liter, 425-hp Hemi V8 that drives the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.  Chrysler reckons the Nassau will perform with the best of the luxury sedans, offering a 0-60 mph acceleration time of five seconds and a top speed of 165 mph. That&amp;#039;s impressive, given its curb weight estimate of 4500 pounds.  Here&amp;#039;s a surprise: For all its advances in design, the Nassau offers a two-tone paint job, albeit a subtle one. The rocker panels and front and rear fascias are finished in a &amp;quot;Starbright Silver&amp;quot; hue to contrast slightly with the &amp;quot;Mystic Blue Pearl&amp;quot; of the body color.  Call the Nassau a hardtop. The door windows retract fully, and there is no permanent B post to interfere with the open space front to rear. With its full-sized body and four-seat interior layout, space inside the cabin is exceptional. A full-length console stretches from the instrument panel in front to a vertical position between the rear seats. Various controls, borrowing their look from that of modern electronics like the iPod, are slotted in handy positions here for front- and rear-seat passengers. A pod control on the instrument panel operates the transmission positions.  Bucket seats for all are finished in leather with a bamboo-like suede trim that&amp;#039;s mimicked on the door trim. Two picture-view skylights run fore and aft for all-passenger viewing. \u2014Jim Dunne SPECIFICATIONS - 2007 CHRYSLER NASSAU CONCEPTWEIGHT: 4500 LBS LENGTH: 196.1 INCHES WHEELBASE: 120 WIDTH: 74.2 HEIGHT: 58.9 TRACK F/R: 63.8/65.5 ENGINE: 6.1-LITER, HEMI V8 HORSEPOWER: 425@6200 RPM TORQUE: 420 FT.
