People like to ask the question: are there really any bad cars out there? Have you ever given a bad review? Until the 2015 model year, the answer would have been the Chrysler 200. It was one of the most uninspired models to come out of Detroit in years. On the record, execu- tives wouldn’t admit as much but get one talking off the record and the disappoint- ment was evident. But now Chrysler can point with pride to the 2015 Chrysler 200. The transforma- tion has been that substantive. The ugly duckling has become a fairly attractive swan. Note the phrase is “fairly attrac- tive” because it’s not quite yet a beautiful car but it’s fairly close. What’s one thing that stops it from being a beauty? I’d say a fairly massive A pillar. That’s the pillar that connects the roof to the hood in simple terms. I found it an obstacle when turning left or right. Of course, a lot of that could have to do with my seating position. Other drivers may not find it to be an obstacle. The Chrysler 200 comes with two engine choices: the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine produces a best-in-class 295 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque, or the standard 2.4-liter MultiAir2 Tigershark I-4 engine produces 184 horsepower and 173 lb.-ft. of torque. Both are mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission, the first of its kind in the midsize segment. Heck, in competition like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, you’re going to find six-speed automatics. Chrysler uses the nine-speed, found on vehicles like the Jeep Cherokee, for better fuel efficiency. The 2015 Chrysler 200 is all new and it’s a much needed improvement. This is no longer a sedan better suited for rental car duty. It’s become an aspirational Around Louisville, Ky., where Chrysler vehicle. let the media experience the 200, the V6 was a lot of fun with more than enough and available, include full-speed Forward power underfoot.
