I would prefer something lighter than the 200 or the dart. The 200 weighs 3400 lbs and the dart weighs almost as much. A sporty 2 door car like the subaru brz/scion frs at 2500lbs with 200hp and rwd would be the ticket.theColonel wrote:I believe the 2015 Chrysler 200 platform holds promise ... 295hp V6 with AWDcatalyst wrote:Dart coupe rebadged as an SRT Barracuda...
No, I think this is accurate and history tells the story. The original Barracuda was smaller than the Challenger....occasional demons wrote:I think he hit his head signing Gramp's dash.MyNeonSaysHi wrote:

But my point was, marketing aside, other than some sheet metal changes, there is nothing holding them back from making a 'Cuda based off of the current Challenger.
I KNEW technicality was going to come back and bite me in the ass when I typed that but I was too lazy to go back and correct it. I figured, "meh, he'll know what I meant when I said 'original' ". So what I really meant was one from the original era they were produced alongside the Challenger, not a 65-69 bodied car.occasional demons wrote:The original was a(n A body) Barracuda, and there wasn't a sister car.

Chrysler made what was one of the biggest debuts of the 2014 North American International Auto Show last month when it debuted the heavily redesigned 200. While impressive on its own, the sleek sedan's Mopar counterpart, which was tucked away in a corner during the Detroit show, adds even more visual flair.
Based on the Chrysler 200S, the showcar had already benefitted from Lunar White Tricoat paint and meaty, 19-inch wheels (now in Satin Lite Bronze finish). White leather seats with bronze stitching accented the cabin treatment.
For Chicago, Chrysler added a Mopar body kit and new upper and lower grilles, both of which give the four-door a considerably more menacing look. The rear fascia is set off by a new bumper and a revised set of exhaust tips. The cabin is unchanged from the Detroit car.

The better man won the election, maybe not the best person, but better than the other selections. Hopefully better choices are produced in the future.(Everybody also seems to forget that George Bush authorized the bailouts.)

Also from the link you provided:
/end of political BS in a car thread.(Everybody also seems to forget that George Bush authorized the bailouts.) And the government engineered a reorganization that upended two centuries of bankruptcy law by handing the equity in Chrysler to the United Autoworkers to cover their pension plans, rather than honoring the claims of other creditors. This big favor to the UAW may have bred bad feelings among the millions of auto buyers who didn't receive similar treatment from the government.

100% truth. For several compact models, this is old news. Sophisticated TCMs as well as far advanced mechanical designs have really driven automatics to new levels.racer12306 wrote:Any more, automatics are, as a rule, getting better fuel economy than the manual versions of a car. There are exceptions but in the economy minded configurations, automatics are winning. The programming and designs of modern automatics are definitely doing their part.
