HRH Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 For all this stupid buzz with Eminem and the superbowl and yadda yadda yadda, does anyone actually like the new Chrysler 200? I see absolutely zero positive attributes. Even the name, "200". WTF were they thinking? That doesn't sound important or innovative! It sounds like the couldn't figure out what to name it. I finally went and looked at Chrysler's awkward site and the thing looks hideous. Like a warmed over, lower Dodge Caliber. And indeed it's built on a Mopar platform, not Mercedes. I'm actually betting the caliber for the way the rear looks alone. I'm all for America building kick-ass cars, but why, why, why would they put all their eggs in this ass-basket? 2 Quote Link to comment

freekwonder Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ugly, and I LOVED the irony of the commercial in everything the announcer said. Plus Eminem sucks guess he needs money or something doing Chrysler and tea commercials now. Quote Link to comment
Wide14u Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 looks like that car and that car and that car lol :D Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yeah, that's the thing, they're acting like this is the new hot shit. "Imported from Detroit" Imported from where? You took whatever tooling you had on the shelf, threw some different plastic at it and oooooo, it's new! It looks like every other pos mundane sedan out there. Ugly with way too much front overhang.

Dirk Diggler Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 It looks like a chrysler 300 and a sebring had a baby Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 What do you expect from dodge/Chrysler? I'd rather push my datsun/old school chevy Quote Link to comment
herculesinwyoming Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 with a base price of almost 20 grand, so probably more like 25 to 28 grad to get a mid range model, they probably are gonna be a tough sell Quote Link to comment
Shagy Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 well they wanted to kill the sebring line....tried to make it look like a smaller 300. The avenger on the dodge side looks like a smaller challenger.... wonder if they will continue to have a Mitsubishi built version too.... Quote Link to comment

SublimeDatsun610 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 i did 10 years with Chrysler and i cannot wait to see if or when they dump these nasty body styles and re-badge the micro Fiat's as Chrysler's that would be a good change. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 i wanna puke is whenever i see one of those sebrings with the "row boat" front end my gawd they pay these "designers" six figures to come up with this garbage :sick: Quote Link to comment

erichwaslike Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 oh shit ur speedo is broken, so they make ugly cars and faulty instrumentation Quote Link to comment
Madness Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 The problem i see with that car is they didn't move forward with the design but they didn't go back far enough either. It seriously looks like a sebring from the late 90's. I really am sick of american car manufacturers. Look anywhere else in the world and they are coming up with new innovative technology and launching designs that look like they are 10 years from now or are from 60 years ago with a very modern twist. Take the latest Fiat 500, Twin piston engine capable of doing 105 MPH, 0-60 in 11 sec (not good but not horrible) doing it all with near 70MPG and it only costs 19,300 (converted to usd). We will probably never see this car state side and its a real shame. American car manufacturers want to continue pushing MASSIVE Suvs down our throats that get 19 MPH with a Hybrid badge on the side.
