Chrysler’s television ads like to tell us that the company’s products are typically American, “imported from Detroit”. For the time being, Chrysler has a relatively small catalogue. The first vehicle on offer is the mid-sized 200, available as a reasonably priced front-wheel-drive sedan that is powered by a four-cylinder engine or by a revolutionary Pentastar V-6. It is also available as a great looking convertible with a solid retractable roof and a four-cylinder or V-6 engine. The Chrysler brand is also well known for its typically American-looking 300 full-sized sedan. This rear-wheel drive can be had with the Pentastar V-6 engine or the legendary HEMI V-8. There is even a performance version called the SRT-8, which features a 470-horsepower V-8. By the way, some 300s are available with allwheel drive. Chrysler’s biggest vehicle is still the front-wheel-drive Town & Country luxury van. It is only available with the Pentastar V-6 and a six-speed automatic transmission. By the way, all these Chrysler products are sold under the Lancia nameplate in Europe, where they can be had with diesel engines that are not sold in North America. Expect more news from Chrysler in the very near future.
