Chrysler 200 About to Get New Look

exterior_04The 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.

2013 Chrysler 300 Motown Edition: A Treat for the Ears

2013 Chrysler 300 MotownThe 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown Edition was already a fusion between Chrysler and the musical coming soon to Broadway, Motown: The Musical.

The car designers at Chrysler have brought on Motown founder Berry Gordy to make sure that the features on the Chrysler 300 Motown Edition are worthy of the pedigree of the Motown spirit.  That means the new vehicle has to do more than just look appeasing to the eyes, but also has to appeal to the ears.  To do that, a preloaded USB drive will come with the vehicle and already preloaded will be 100 of the best of the Motown classics.

All of this is meaningless, of course, unless you have a sound system worth bragging about.  Such is the case with a 10 speaker Beats Audio system with 12-channel amplifier and proprietary Beats Audio algorithm.

The vehicle will have 4 different exterior paint colors, Bright White, Gloss Black, Deep Cherry Red, and Jazz Blue.  The colors will complement the two-tone interior seats that are embossed with an “M” logo for Motown.  All the equipment inside of the Chrysler 300 Motown Edition stand out as unique and detailed thanks to the use of Piano Black for the instrument panel and surrounding parts of the interior.

For fans who appreciate a quality sound system in their choice of vehicle, this seems tailor made.  Anyone who is looking to blow people away (almost literal) when they put on music may have just found their new favorite Chrysler.  For more Chrysler vehicles, both new and pre-owned, go online to our website at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for more news and monthly specials.

Chrysler 300S Turbine Announced

Chrysler had a surprise for the attendees of the International Auto Show.  People were expecting to see a new Jeep, maybe even a new sedan, but definitely not this.  A homage paid to the history of the car maker in a fun way.

The Chrysler 300S Turbine is being made as a tribute to the classic and infamous 1963 turbine-powered concept car.  This new concept sports the same bronze color as its predecessor of 1963.  The front of the vehicle has a unique upper and lower machined-billet grille that also call back to the old model.  The headlamps are also a blast from the past with the Chrysler 300S’s Gloss Black headlamp bezels.

The wheels even have a unique styling to them to bring back fond memories.  A massive 22 inches in diameter in a turbine shaped design.

Saad Chehab was a huge fan of the color used in the vehicle.  He loved it the moment he saw it in the design center and is hoping to take numerous elements of the Chrysler 300S Turbine and put it into future S versions of the brand’s vehicles.
