Chrysler 200 Convertible 2011

Chrysler 200 Convertible 2011
Chrysler’s overhauled 200 mid-size sedan, star of the "imported from Detroit" Super Bowl TV ad, was joined by a convertible in April, with Chrysler hoping the stylish drop-top helps establish the 200 as a sexy, premium machine. It’s another piece in the unfinished puzzle of giving the Chrysler brand an image as a "mass-market American premium brand," in the words of the brand’s CEO, Olivier Francois. The 200 is the new name for the car formerly known as Sebring, an unloved and largely unbought flop. Consumer Reports rated the convertible model of the Sebring last among 10 premium drop-tops. Hoping to erase that image, Chrysler figured it could combine the major updates and styling changes that nearly all Chrysler Group’s products got for 2011 with a new name, and — ta-dah — the auto industry’s version of a villain with a face job and an alias.
In this case, a personality change, too. The remade 200 drop-top can claim: – Smooth, new 3.6-liter Pentastar that’s become the V-6 across the Chrysler Group brands. It’s rated 283 horsepower as packaged in the 200, – Much nicer styling, – Firmer, more-composed suspension and more rigid, tied-down chassis, -Choice of conventional soft top or (for $1,995) a retractable hardtop, -Premium interior. Both test cars were V-6s; a base four-cylinder wasn’t available. One tester was a $35,350 Limited with leather upholstery, folding hardtop and lots of features; the other, a less lavish $29,495 Touring with cloth seats, and cloth top.

The Chrysler Crossfire is a rear-wheel drive sports car sold by DaimlerChrysler’s Chrysler marque, and replaced the Plymouth/Chrysler Prowler. The car is built for DaimlerChrysler by Karmann in Germany and shares over half of its components, including most of its interior, drivetrain, and chassis, with the previous-generation (R170) Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class. It is available as a coupé and as a roadster. The name "Crossfire" comes as a reference to the distinctive character lines that run from front to rear through the body sides. They create a surface that is upward facing as it passes over the rear fender, but they cross mid-way through the door to form a downward facing surface as they reach the front fender. Also, since this is the first car to be built after Chrysler merged with Daimler-Benz and it shares elements from both houses, the name is a reference to their collaboration. The standard transmission is a 6-speed manual, and a 5-speed automatic is optional. Base Crossfires, originally sold beginning in the 2004 model year, are equipped with a 3.2 L, 18-valve, SOHC V6 engine which produces 215 hp and 229 ft·lbf of torque. Ironically, 2004 was the last year for the SLK from which the Crossfire is built. Since the 2005 model year, the SLK has been built on a platform with Vision SLR-style looks. The Crossfire remains the only car based on the older chassis. For the 2005 model year, Chrysler has unveiled both a Crossfire convertible as well as the SRT-6, a supercharged high-performance model.

In the Rolling Stones song "Jumpin’ Jack Flash," Mick Jagger sings about being born in a crossfire hurricane. We’re not sure what a crossfire hurricane is, but we know a Crossfire roadster when we see one, and it’s a gas, gas, gas. After all, there’s not much wrong with the proposition of an Austrian-built convertible with distinctive styling and the mechanical underpinnings of a Mercedes-Benz SLK beneath the surface. Especially at a price about 10 grand cheaper than the Mercedes original. Well, okay, there are a few things on the negative side of the report card, but they’re probably not bad enough to dissuade affluent buyers from this "reward" purchase. In February, even before the roadster version hit showrooms, Chrysler’s Crossfire coupe was enjoying greater sales than its most obvious rivals, the Audi TT and the BMW Z4, in the trophy-car segment. Since this kind of car works better as a convertible in the status game, the DaimlerChrysler sales picture is likely to get even better. Chrysler’s advance vehicle engineering guys say the roadster was developed concurrently with the coupe. That allowed the engineers to anticipate any structural discontinuities in the topless car and have some of the reinforcements in place from the outset. The project was clearly aided by the fact that the donor SLK floorpan was designed for that car’s convertible mission. Read more: Chrysler Crossfire Roadster 2005
