2015 Chrysler 200

Phil, let me save you some time.

 

How every CR focus group will go.

 

THIS CAR IS SHIT COMPARED TO MY CAR!

 

That was completely understood going into this. I think it looks sharp in some of the pictures, but I'll make up my mind when I see the production cars in person at the auto show. I still haven't driven one but I should get a chance soon.

 

I honestly think Chrysler has made huge strides with their product and this car may make a decent daily. It has a lot of features and may be a good value, depending on how quickly the price climbs when you start checking the boxes.

 

There aren't many companies offering a 300hp AWD midsize sedan, so I'm interested to see the price of an AWD 200 S.

 

But I also realize that the CR audience may be more interested in another rumored Detroit reveal, but we'll see what happens.

I think it's sharp, but I hate the cheesy ass LEDs that every manufacturer is doing now. I see it starts at under $22k, curious to see how high it'll get with the 3.6 and the 3.6 with AWD.

 

My guess is $31k

 

That said, they will make great company cars for my reps so i might just try one out in the near future.

Since the spy photos first posted to Jalopnik a few weeks ago, I have heard people say it looks like damn near every car on the market. In profile a Tesla Model S, in the rear Audi A4, hyundai's, Kia's, Impala, Dart, etc.

 

If the AWD 3.6L is 31k it would be a bargain, considering a Buick Regal AWD doesn't seem to exist on their web site anymore.

 

I'm disappointed in the expected 35 mpg, because I expected it to be higher due to aero and 9-speed trans, but I'll wait to see official numbers. I'm sure the release is being conservative, and a lot of people I know consistently outperform the mpg rating on their 3.6L Chargers, but we'll see.

I saw that as I'm looking to replace the Fusion Sport this year and might ditch the Nav option for AWD just because I don't use Nav at all anymore. Will be interested in what all ends up on the short list to select from. Regal AWD Turbo, was on my list too. Little small, but still a consideration.

The 200 may be closer to the size of a Regal than a Fusion, but I really need to sit in the back of both at the Auto Show (going on MLK day). I've only sat in the back of one 200, and I don't know how far back the drivers seat was. I've really grown to like the UConnect system and the center console has a lot of storage too. It even has the wireless charging mat that's also in the Cherokee.
