Now we know what happened to the Saab 'vert. I really like it, especially compared to the previous model that was almost generic. Chrysler, with its new partner Fiat, is taking some uncharacteristic risks with their product offerings - time will tell if their QC manages to improve at the same rate.

Both hard and soft tops are available for the 200.



STILL looks like a warmed over Sebring to me in EITHER form and from the readings I have seen so far on this car, the reviews are less than impressive. I like the fact that they took the time to update the cabin, but honestly, to kill off the Sebring name and rebadge it as a Chrysler 200 with almost IDENTICAL bodystyling and cues from the Sebring and NOT have people make the connection is just ridiculous. Honestly,, look at this pic I posted and tell me you guys don't see the last gen Sebring there. Will hold further judegement until I see the car in person, but so far am NOT impressed.

It looks like a Sebring! The only decent cars Chrysler has are the Challenger and Ram. They need a Charger coupe since they killed the Viper, unless we see a new Viper soon?

Screw the reviews, this car handles no better then a combination of a Toyota Camry and Mazda 3 if that, what Chrysler needs is to have this car be reliable, I had a friend who bought 2 Sebrings cause they were cheap and they were horrible cars, one of them spent more time sitting in the driveway then as a DD cause the cost to repair the problems were as much as the monthly car payment, and that was bought brand new, the other bought used at 60k barely made it to 80k before it was traded.

The 200 looks good, and hopefully it is built as well as the LX platform cars with the Hemis
