Chrysler 200 Convertible 2011
In this post we are talking about 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.

Chrysler Sebring Convertible 2008
The Chrysler Sebring has been America’s best selling convertible for seven of the past 11 years. A fun and highly rated ragtop from the start, the Chrysler Sebring became progressively refined in each new generation. In the current generation, engine and road noise are minimal even with the top down; and the optional hardtop, coming in at under $2,000, impresses spectators while making the Sebring a quiet coupe. The hardtop is also easier to use than past soft tops, requiring only a brief press of a switch to fold down completely, and a 34-second push a switch to raise. No manual latching is required. The total time to raise or lower the roof is around 34 seconds. That includes the trunk opening (from the front end, rather than the usual back end); the top cover sliding out; the roof folding and going into the trunk; and the trunk re-locking. You can also impress people by using the remote control to lower the roof. Another new feature is the windbreak, which fastens between the front and back seats; it’s just a little awkward, but it really cuts back on the old "cold air on the back of the neck" that’s had me wearing scarves in sixty-degree weather. The screen is easy to see through and takes little space in the trunk when folded. Read more: Chrysler Sebring Convertible 2008
Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible 2005

Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible 2005
You can no more assess a PT Cruiser Convertible based on its acceleration, ride and handling than you can rate a Harley Davidson Softail on its ability to keep pace with a Honda Blackbird. As a "cruiser", the PT Convertible can only be judged by one metric: its feel good factor (FGF). Do owners run out of milk at odd intervals? Do they name their cars? Do they lower the lid in winter? Yes, cubed. The PT drop top has all the car-isma cruisers crave– and then some. First and foremost, it’s a four-seater. The rag-top cognoscenti know that a convertible’s FGF increases arithmetically with each additional passenger. If the rear seats are spacious, the pleasure generated is almost inconceivable. Try. Imagine stashing a couple of best buds in your Chrysler top-down two-door and heading for the beach; sucking on an ice cold Coke and blissing on Ban de Soleil as your crew sing along with the latest Black Eyed Peas hookfest. If that’s not a peak automotive experience (and an example of unpaid product placement), I don’t know what is. Read more: Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible 2005
Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Roadster 2005

Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Roadster 2005
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
Chrysler 300 HEMI C Convertible Concept 2000

Chrysler 300 HEMI C Convertible Concept 2000
The quintessential Chrysler, this concept combines contemporary design,elegance, luxury and legendary Hemi-power. ‘This vehicle explores a direction we might take if we were to return to an all-American V-8, rear-wheel drive luxury performance car such as the famed ’57 Chrysler 300 C convertible,’ said Tom Gale, Executive Vice President -Product Development and Design. The epitome of motoring elegance and affordable luxury, the Chrysler 300 Hemi C concept adds the heritage only this company can offer: a powerful V-8 Hemi engine. The prototype all-aluminum 353 cubic inch (5.7-liter) pushrod V-8 engine features hemispherical combustion chambers and two spark plugs per cylinder. Its estimated power of 353 horsepower and 353 lb.-ft. of torque is delivered to the rear wheels via a robust four-speed automatic transmission. The powerful V-8 Hemi engine has improved fuel efficiency and emissions through seamless automatic deactivation of four of the eight cylinders during highway driving and deceleration. A hydraulically shifted lost-motion feature deactivates the valves while the motor management system interrupts ignition and fuel supply to those cylinders. The system maintains full engine performance for acceleration and overtaking. The concept’s independent suspension has modified MacPherson struts in front and an aluminum five-link coil-over-shock rear set-up. Read more: Chrysler 300 HEMI C Convertible Concept 2000
