The Chrysler 200 has been needing some new life of late. It’s been getting overshadowed by the 300 and Town & Country. With all the updates being passed around to other members of the family, it’s time for the 200 to get a new look.
Autoblog is reporting that the Chrysler 200 is getting phased out by next year. Chrysler is giving the 200 a short year in 2014 to make way for the successor. Internal documents show that production of that 2014 model will begin this summer and only run through January.
Sadly, these same documents don’t make any hints as to what to expect next. Autoblog writer Zach Bowman has some early speculation that the changes being made will “bleed into the automaker’s other products.” A rumor points to a possible nine-speed automatic transmission with 38 miles per gallon.
Makes me wonder if the 200 will be getting the same kind of face-lift that the Cherokee just got. If it does, how are the fans going to react? It’ll be interesting, to say the least, at what Chrysler has in store to help people fall in love with the 200 all over again.

Aided by the popularity of the Jeep Wrangler, Chrysler needs to hire additional workers to fill in shifts at a plant in Ohio.
Over the past few months, sales for the Wrangler and the Wrangler Unlimited have been on the rise. In order to meet the recent demand for the always popular Jeep vehicles, Chrysler is adding 200 people to the Jeep plant in Toledo Ohio. The new hires will be beginning their work on April 1st.
130 of the new workers will be offering extra relief to the current work force on the assembly line. There are two shifts already working hard, each working 10 hours. Chrysler is not looking to add a third shift, according to autonews.com, due to the paint shop of the plant being at capacity.
Thanks in part to the rebounding economy and car buyers staying loyal to a brand they can trust. The Wrangler has always been a vehicle that people depend upon. That can be seen by the amount of Wranglers being produced at the Toledo plant. It’s more than 200,000 from last year. U.S. sales rose 16 percent from last year.
