We told you we’d look into the appearance of a 2016 Chrysler 300 SRT8 captured by one of our friends in Colorado, but unfortunately, the news isn’t good.

We talked to two Fiat-Chrysler Automobile (FCA) spokespeople, with the first one saying, “There are no plans to bring the nameplate back to the US” and the other, “We have no plans at this time, to bring back the Chrysler 300C SRT to the US market”.

They didn’t tell us what the updated model was doing testing next to other SRT cars here in the USA, but since the series continues life overseas, Chrysler may have been performing some market-specific tweaks its 485-horsepower sports sedan. That or they’re trolling us…
