Chrysler PT Cruiser

The 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser ranks 7 out of 8 Affordable Compact Wagons. Slow and funny looking, the 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is the zombie of the automotive world. Despite falling sales and harsh reviews, the "PT Cruiser" just won't die.

Car and Driver comments, "Chrysler's 1940s-esque retro wagon remains versatile for its size but is clearly outdated.

Other Compact Wagons to Consider
It costs about $2,000 more than the PT Cruiser, but is seriously fun to drive.

When pitted against the competition, the 2010 "PT Cruiser" clings to life with only its unique styling, versatile interior and roomy accommodations as positive attributes.
The PT Cruiser's rivals are numerous and vastly more capable--The 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is a five-seat compact wagon that is now offered in only one trim level -- the Classic. Included are 16-inch alloy wheels, foglights, a rear spoiler, full power accessories, air-conditioning, a tilt steering wheel, a trip computer, keyless entry and a four-speaker audio system with a CD player and auxiliary audio jack. The optional Convenience Group adds a six-way power driver seat, a fold-flat front passenger seat and heated front seats.

The 2010 "Chrysler PT Cruiser" is powered by a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 150 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. The only available transmission is a four-speed automatic that drives the front wheels. Fuel economy is a middling 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway and 21 mpg in combined driving.

Antilock disc brakes, front seat side airbags and a low-speed traction control system are standard for the 2010 PT Cruiser..

Those seated in back are afforded a pleasant view thanks to the Cruiser's slightly elevated rear seats, and head- and legroom are plentiful for adult passengers.
With the previous turbocharged engine no longer available, the 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser is left with the anemic base power plant and outdated four-speed automatic.

Recently I have rented this car. The ?steering wheel is made for a sailboat with an incredibly small turning radius. ? This car is dangerous to drive with a ?terrible side and back view, with blind spots of about 30 degree or so at each side!

2011 Chrysler 300 next month at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show

Today, the company revealed interior images along with more information on the features of the full-size sedan. The biggest news inside — besides an entirely new interior — is the 8.4-inch LCD touch-screen multimedia center that comes standard in the Chrysler 300. We recently tested it in the 2011 Dodge Journey, and it offers a lot of capability, though navigation is not standard. The steering wheel looks to be similarly meaty to those in the Dodge and Jeep vehicles.
A panoramic sunroof — not usually seen on sedans of any type – is another premium option.

Chrysler has extensively reworked its flagship sedan, the" 2011 Chrysler 300", which makes its public debut next month at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show and begins reaching U.S. dealers in the first quarter.

Chrysler also has upgraded the materials in the cabin, which features a redesigned instrument cluster, sapphire-blue LED ambient lighting, wood trim and optional heated and ventilated nappa-leather seats.

Chrysler will launch at Detroit Auto Show the Chrysler 300 facelift. The admiral ship of Chrysler range received a facelift. Clearly, the Fiat-Chrysler alliance led to a series of bizarre events, such as a Lancia model with Mercedes platform and Chrysler engines. The model is still offered with either rear wheel drive or all wheel drive.
Because we speak by a facelift, the aesthetic modifications are the main change of Chrysler 300 model.

Chrysler Group is recalling 150,000 vehicles

A 2011 Dodge RAM 1500 pickup truck poses at the Planet Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership in Doral, Fla. in this August file photo. Parent company Chrysler is recalling nearly 150,000 trucks and SUVs to address several problems, including steering, air bag issues and a growling rear axle.

Chrysler has announced that it's recalling over 121,000 vehicles in two separate actions. Additionally, the carmaker is also recalling 65,180 Dodge Journey crossovers from the 2009 model year due to faulty wiring. Both recalls are expected to begin in February and Chrysler will repair the axles in Ram 1500 models and replace the both front door wiring harnesses in Dodge Journey models free of charge as necessary.

Here’s the full list of vehicles being recalled. Chrysler Group is recalling 150,000 vehicles, including 22,000 2008-2011 Dodge Ram trucks with steering problems; 65,000 Dodge Journey SUVs with side air bags that may not discharge; and 57,000 2011 Dodge 1500 trucks which may stall due to faulty components in the rear axles. For their part, Ford is recalling 15,000 Ford F-series pickup trucks from 2011 (including the F150, F250, F350, F450, and F550) and some 2011 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers due to electrical problems that may result in fires.

2011 chrysler 300 reviews

2011 chrysler 300 reviews
For 2011, Chrysler is refreshing its entire lineup, and pictures of one of the most anticipated refreshes have hit the web. Reviewers have had their first looks at images of the 2011 Chrysler 300. “All new cathedral-style taillights sit out back, with extensive chrome trim. Kicking Tires calls the 300’s new headlights “Audi-like,” thanks to a string of LEDs framing the main lens. Currently, reviewers have only completed first drives of refreshed models like the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Durango. If you’re in the market for a new Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep, you may want to wait a little while to buy.

Kicking things off, the 2011 Chrysler 300 comes with a distinctive styling that demands attention to itself. It has earned its spot as the most popular choice of vehicle within the large sedan vehicle segment. The styling approach on the 2011 Chrysler 300 is undeniably American with its double-lens headlights, bulging fenders, large chrome grille, and massive wheels. The dashboard design though is unique for emitting a sense of retro style that is all about luxury.
There are five basic trim level choices for the "2011 Chrysler 300": LX, Touring, Limited, -- and the SRT8. The LX model is the most suitable option for budget-conscious consumers but if you value more powerful road performance, then either the Limited or Touring trim levels can deliver just that.
Speaking of power and performance, the base model for the 2011 Chrysler 300 is not too impressive with its 2.7-liter V6 engine that can deliver only a net of 178 horsepower.

Chrysler carries over its venerable 300. The Base trim comes standard with a 190 horsepower 2.7L V6 and is coupled with a four-speed automatic. Also included are: 17-inch alloy wheels, disc brakes, single-disc CD player, and a four-way adjustable power driver's seat. You also get a standard electronically adjustable accelerator and brake, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), Sirius satellite stereo and leather seats. The C comes standard with Chrysler's proprietary Multi-Displacement System, which is a system based off of the Mercedes-Benzs S-Class (not to mention the myriad of parts Chrysler shares from the Daimler-Benz part-bin, even after that marriage failed).

Knowing that we live in a world of mutuality and "you scratch my back and I'll scratch, we are not surprised by the unveiling of the first year Chrysler redesigned 2012 300 Sedan,

courtesy of Motor Trend . For the record, the new business model is supposed to break cover Detroit Auto Show in January. In any event, the top of the Chrysler Group itself has decided that the world is quite worthy of some images can be viewed MT in the gallery by clicking the link here. Take a look and tell us what you think about the management style of 300, again in the comments below.

Chrysler Group announced pricing 2011 Chrysler 200

Chrysler Group LLC announced pricing for its new 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan and 2011 Chrysler Town & Country minivan. The 2011 Chrysler 200 will have under its hood, the proven 2.4-liter World Gas Engine or the available new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. The company noted that the new Chrysler 200 sedan will offer its consumers exceptional craftsmanship inside and out with a refined and spirited driving experience, innovative technology and an abundance of standard safety features.

The 2011 Chrysler Town & Country, which is available in three models namely the Touring, Touring L and Limited, will be available in the markets at a starting price of $30,995. With exquisite styling, a beautifully crafted interior, smart, cutting-edge entertainment features and clever seating and storage options, the new Chrysler Town & Country delivers on the Chrysler promise to provide every owner a vehicle that satisfies their needs.

Chrysler has already tried to declare a clean departure for its midsize sedan from the much-criticized Sebring. All prices include $750 destination. It will be tough for Chrysler to live up to its boast that the 200 offers "exceptional craftsmanship inside and out, a refined and spirited driving experience, (and) innovative technology." The 2011 Chrysler 200 is offered with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or the available new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine

The base model of Chrysler's new 200 sedan will cost $20,745, including destination charges. The 200 is Chrysler's newest model in the midsize-sedan segment, replacing the Sebring. The instrument panel, bezels, gauge faces and the steering wheel have been improved. Exterior upgrades include new front and rear fascia and fenders, grille, hood, trunk lid and exterior mirrors. The Chrysler brand winged badge adorns the front.

Pricing on the Town & Country minivan was also released on Wednesday.

Chrysler 200 revealed‎

The thoroughly modern Chrysler 200 will replace the Sebring, Chrysler's ageing saloon, which enjoyed lukewarm sales.

The Chrysler 200 is powered by a 2.4-litre inline-4 engine mated to either a four-speed or six-speed automatic gearbox.

Interior fit and finish has blighted Chrysler Group cars in recent years, although the company stresses 'an abundance of quality materials' have been used.

Chrysler has officially revealed the upcoming 200 sedan ahead of its launch later his year.
The front-wheel drive 2011 Chrysler 200 is powered by a choice of two petrol engines; a 2.4-litre four-cylinder base engine and a 3.6-litre V6 motor

One of the biggest hurdles in the Chrysler Group's comeback from bankruptcy has been its weak entries in the mid-size sedan segment, where the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger have been languishing for years. The initial pictures don't show drastic sheet-metal changes, although Chrysler indicates the Chrysler 200 will benefit from "upgrades" to its front and rear fascias and fenders, grille, hood, rear deck lid and exterior mirrors, along with enhanced lighting from new projector headlamps/fog lamps, LED tail lamps and an LED center high-mounted stop light. The Chrysler Group has begun to develop a strong reputation for high-quality cabins, beginning with enhancements to the Dodge Ram pickup and carrying through to all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee; early interior photos from the new Dodge Charger and Dodge Durango also have been well received. The Chrysler 200 will become the smallest, lightest Chrysler Group product to pack this engine, allowing the powerplant to better show off its capabilities.

2011 Chrysler 200 mid-sized sedan

Chrysler announced that its all-new midsize sedan will be called the 200. Most notable from these snapshots are the narrower front and rear lights and the restyled Chrysler emblem. The 200 will come with a choice of two powertrains: the 2.4-liter four-cylinder carried over from the previous generation with either a four-speed or six-speed automatic, and higher-end versions will get the company’s new 3.6-liter V-6 with 283 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic. That’s more power than what V-6 versions of the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry or Ford Fusion produce.

We expect to learn more as the auto show season approaches.
Chrysler has revealed the mystery around its fully enhanced 2011 Chrysler 200 mid-sized sedan, promising fans and customers remarkable styling, reinforced driving experience, technology innovations, and of course abundance of standard safety features.

Chrysler is laying it on thick this week, with both the updated 2011 Chrysler Grand Voyager and Jeep Patriot revealed earlier today, and now a trio of teaser images for the upcoming 2011 Chrysler 200.

In Australia, the Sebring Cabrio is currently offered with a 2.7 litre V6 engine producing a significantly lower 137kW.
Speaking with TMR today, Chrysler Australia's Dean Bonthorne confirmed that with the current Sebring sedan not being part of the Australian range, there are no plans to give the upcoming 200 a local launch.

The Chrysler Pacifica carries

The Chrysler Pacifica carries many of the features now expected in crossover vehicles, but doesn't deliver the engine power or value of class leaders and ranks in the bottom half of both the affordable midsize and crossover SUV classes.
While the "Chrysler Pacifica" is a viable minivan alternative, our analysis shows that its engine power and third-row seating fall short of expectations.
The Chrysler Pacifica was one of the original large crossover wagons. In order to combine the driving attributes of a car with the utility offered by minivans and sport-utility vehicles, the Pacifica crossover had four front-hinged doors, an elevated seating position, five- or six-passenger seating and a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Compared to other crossover wagons, the Chrysler Pacifica was relatively upscale and offered a wide array of creature comforts wrapped in elegantly chiseled sheet metal. Most Recent Chrysler Pacifica
The Chrysler Pacifica debuted for the 2004 model year, at which point it was offered only in base and Limited trim levels. A 3.5-liter V6 with 250 hp and 250 lb-ft became standard on all but the base front-wheel-drive model in 2005, and the 3.8-liter V6 was eliminated for 2006, leaving the 3.5-liter unit as the sole available engine. For 2007, the 3.8-liter mill returned in the base front-wheel-drive model, this time rated at 200 hp, and a 4.0-liter V6 replaced the 3.5-liter V6 in all other models. Base 2004 Pacificas featured two-row, five-passenger seating and were fairly comfortable, thanks to niceties such as dual-zone climate control, a power driver seat and a load-leveling suspension. The 2005 base model, meanwhile, lost some standard accoutrements and was priced lower going forward. The 3.8-liter engine is to be avoided, but the 3.5-liter and 4.0-liter V6s are decent performers.

2010 Chrysler 300 review

The 2010 Chrysler 300 ranks 3 out of 7 Affordable Large Cars. The aging Chrysler 300 still wins points for style, and in upper trim levels, for pure power. It offers vast interior room, competitive pricing, and a pair of available V8 engines -- one powerful, one absurdly powerful.

The 300, however, loses points for a fairly low safety rating compared to its competition, and for Chrysler's mixed reliability reputation.

Only with the current model has Chrysler revived the accolades and respect that once surrounded this proud nameplate.
Thanks to its distinctive styling, roomy interior and powerful performance capabilities, the latest Chrysler 300 has become a popular choice in the large sedan segment. According to our editors, nearly all 300 models should serve consumers well.

Current Chrysler 300
The Chrysler 300 is a large five-passenger sedan with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Chrysler 300 comes in LX, Touring, Limited, "C" (labeled the 300C) and SRT8 trim levels. The 300C and SRT8 versions are the performance-oriented models. For rear-drive Touring and 300C models, Chrysler also offers the W.P. Chrysler Executive Series. This model rides on a 6-inch-longer wheelbase and provides additional legroom for rear-seat passengers.

Touring and Limited trims have a 3.5-liter, 250-hp V6 and a five-speed automatic. The top-shelf 300C and 300C SRT8 feature V8 engines with five-speed automatics. The 300C's V8 makes 359 hp, and the SRT8's boasts 425 hp. The SRT8 also features a stiffer suspension setup, more powerful brakes and a larger wheel-and-tire package. Most 300s are rear-drive, but Chrysler offers all-wheel-drive versions of the Touring, Limited and 300C.
In Edmunds.com reviews of the Chrysler 300, the car has fared quite well. Used Chrysler 300 Models
The current-generation Chrysler 300 debuted for the 2005 model year. Like fossil records, the Chrysler 300 has a long but patchy history. It was built through the 2004 model year.

2010 Chrysler Delta Concept Cars at the Detroit Auto Show ready for production

As you know, Fiat-Chrysler alliance will produce a series of models developed by a manufacturer that will be marketed with the logo of other brands belonging to the consortium. To illustrate some of the changes that took place in the Fiat-Chrysler alliance, the Americans from Chrysler unveiled a Lancia Delta with a Chrysler logo. The compact Delta was present at the Detroit Auto Show with a changed front grille, along with Chrysler logo located inside and outside.

2010 Chrysler Delta Concept Cars at the Detroit Auto Show

As a strange by product of the Chrysler/Fiat tie-in, a Lancia Delta wearing Chrysler badges appeared at the Detroit Auto Show’s Chrysler exhibit. There was no press release about the car. What’s more, Chrysler spokesmen seemed as surprised as we were. Let’s assume this was merely an exercise to see how the public would react.

Lancia debuted the new Delta, and this Chrysler concept cars apparently exists to demonstrate to the public that Chrysler now has foreign fingers in its pie. Powertrain? No details available, although twin exhaust tips in the rear suggest it has an engine. In Europe, the Delta is available with a choice of five powerplants; gasoline units are 1.4- and 1.8-liter turbo fours and there are also 1.6-, 1.9-, and 2.0-liter diesel inline-fours. Brembo brakes do this car’s stopping, and it wears 225/45-17 Goodyear Excellence rubber.

The only difference between this and the Delta sold in Russia, Turkey and the U.K. is the grille and Chrysler's name on the back end. Surprisingly, the exterior design fits well within the current state of Chrysler products and easily outshines most of what's on dealer lots right now. The interior looks a little disjointed for American tastes, however.

While there are a number of engines for the Delta overseas, it would likely get one of the new four- or six-cylinder engines Chrysler unveiled last week.

Although Chrysler Delta will not be sold too soon on the market in the United States of America, it exemplifies the changes that take place in the ranges of the two manufacturers in the alliance. We can expect the Dodge models to receive the logo of Alfa Romeo when Dodge will be sold in the US, and Dodge models receive similar treatment in Europe.

In Europe, the Delta is available with a choice of five powerplants. Chrysler could learn from the Delta’s sumptuous interior. Tan leather seats are trimmed with fat black piping and the black leather covered dash is stitched with contrasting tan thread to match the seats.

Chrysler could learn from the Delta’s sumptuous interior. Tan leather seats are trimmed with fat black piping, and the black leather-covered dash is stitched with contrasting tan thread to match the seats. A panoramic full-length glass roof, navigation system, and automatic climate control attest to the luxurious trappings available on the car in Europe. 

Although the interior looks like a lovely place to pass the miles, we think the car just looks awkward, with more of a goofy French style than the sensuous shapes we expect from Italians.

2011 New Chrysler Nassau Concept Cars will be launched later this year

According to U.S. sources the 2011 Chrysler Nassau will replace the Sebring as the next generation model (Chrysler Nassau concept cars pictured). The 2011 Chrysler Nassau will be the company's new mid-size sedan and will come on the market later this year. However, the 2011 Chrysler Nassau was not officially confirmed, nor denied for that matter. Although this name was used by the company for a 2007 concept cars , we should not expect the new 2011 Chrysler Nassau to look much like that concept.

2011 New Chrysler Nassau Concept Cars

The Chrysler designers have been working on completely new interior for the 2011 Chrysler Nassau and Dodge Avenger. The exterior will look substantially different. The 2011 Chrysler Nassau will offer the choice of two engines - 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine or a V6 Pentastar unit produced at Chrysler Trenton South engine plant.

Chrysler’s Sebring was never really anywhere near its competitors as far as its performance were concerned, which is why Chrysler has decided to make a fresh start with the car. And they have begun by giving the car a new name – Nassau – which is slated to hit the market in the last quarter of 2010 when it will replace the current Sebring.

The Nassau name plate was first seen on a concept car Chrysler had revealed in 2007. Chrysler also has a range of motorhomes available that are undergoing some modifications since earlier editions. Unlike the Sebring, motorhomes made by Chrysler are much larger and can accommodate more people in comfort. This type of vehicle is probably more suited to long distance travel and touring trips where motorhome hire is also an option for the vehicle.

The Chrysler’s Sebring is not being seen in good light of late, something that can be attributed to the sedan relying heavily on fleet and rental fleet sales with the majority of the grouse coming from the car’s interior quality which many claim is way behind what its competitors have on offer. Chrysler is of the opinion that the name ‘Sebring’ does not carry enough brand equity nor has any positive history associated with it that would make retaining the name for their all-new sedan really worthwhile.

“Chrysler bought the Nassau name when they came out with the concept, so it makes sense they would use it,” said Jim Hall, a consultant at a firm that is into advising automakers on future vehicles.

Another Chrysler Group model scheduled for replacement in the next 12 months is the Dodge Avenger. While little has been revealed on the new model (or whether it too will get a new name), previous reports suggested it would debut on a rear-wheel-drive platform as a sportier alternative to the Sebring.

That’s not all for there will also be an all-new Dodge Avenger to join the Nassau and is slated for a 2011 release with both the cars donning new interiors that Chrysler claims will match up to the best. The exteriors of the vehicles too will be a lot different so as to make them stand out as fresh new vehicles.

The 2011 Chrysler Nassau will be launched later this year. And The 2011 Chrysler Nassau price will be announced at a later date.
