Chrysler took the wraps off of its all-new 2015 200 sedan in Detroit on Monday.
The new Chrysler may share a name with its predecessor, but it's a very different car. Working with the resources of its soon-to-be-merger-partner Fiat , Chrysler was able to rethink its midsize sedan from the ground up. The result is an intriguing product.
The new 200's styling has more than a little bit in common with the compact Dodge Dart. That's not a coincidence: Like the Dart, the 200 is built on a platform that started its life with corporate sibling Alfa Romeo, before being stretched and modified for American tastes.
The 200 is packed with intriguing high-tech features, including a sophisticated nine-speed automatic transmission. It has a plush interior filled with soft leather and unusual wood accents, and its optional V6 will give it 295 horsepower -- big power for a mainstream sedan.
The 2015 Chrysler 200's clean lines are a definite improvement on its predecessor's somewhat odd looks. But will it stand out in the brutally competitive midsize sedan segment?
