The Chrysler Brand is experiencing a rejuvenation, and product is at the
heart of it, replacing its full lineup with either all-new or
significantly improved vehicles in just the next few months. As a sign
of that change, the recently introduced all-new Chrysler winged badge
logo will rightfully adorn all this new metal as it rolls out to the
public.
The Brand itself is further defining itself, as well.
"What Chrysler Brand will be, and what will make it unique, is that it
will give people beautiful shapes, which would otherwise be out of
reach. It will always deliver a bit more than the customer expects,"
said Olivier Francois, Chrysler Brand President & CEO. "At every
turn, Chrysler Brand and its vehicles will deliver what people deserve,
not just what they expect. It will take appointments - design,
technology, and engines, to name a few - that were borne for a few and
deliver them to the masses."
Vehicles like the all-new, next generation 2011 Chrysler 300.
The iconic flagship, which has been the most awarded vehicle in
automobile industry history, will debut its much anticipated, all-new
model later this year.
Expect more of the head-turning styling, acclaimed driving dynamics and
an even more befitting interior when this vehicle comes to market.
Then there's the Chrysler 200.
With so much change intended for the upcoming 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan,
the Company was driven to bestow a new nameplate on the car, as it
deserves its own space and identity in the mid-size sedan segment. The
Chrysler 200 will provide drivers a beautifully inspired sedan that
doesn't compromise safety or practicality, while offering an
extraordinary level of standard content, all at a surprising value.
Including elements from the 200C show car revealed in recent years on
the auto show circuit, this vehicle will now compete head-to-head with
the best of the mid-size segment, be it in looks, motoring excitement,
refinement? what have you. A convertible version, one that is a true
four-seat sedan, will follow.
The new Chrysler 200 sedan offers consumers exceptional craftsmanship
inside and out, a refined and spirited driving experience, innovative
technology, an abundance of standard safety features and an
extraordinary level of standard content.
Virtually every system in the sedan is new or upgraded for 2011, giving
the Chrysler 200 its own identity and space in the highly competitive
mid-size sedan segment. Exterior and sheet metal upgrades include: front
and rear fascias and fenders, a new grille featuring the new Chrysler
brand winged badge, new hood, LED positioning light pipe in front
headlamps, rear deck lid and exterior mirrors, new projector headlamps
and fog lamps, new LED taillamps and an LED center high-mounted
stoplight.
With the all-new interior for 2011, customers will step into a level
of craftsmanship, content and comfort that is world-class. The all-new
instrument panel, bezels, gauge face and new Chrysler steering wheel
transform the driver's seat into an elegant atmosphere. Upgraded seats
with a new design that incorporates more cushion material and revised
spring geometry, as well as new leather and cloth seating materials,
envelop the driver and passenger.
The new 2011 Chrysler 200 provides drivers an agile, confident, handling
performance in all driving situations, whether it's commuting to work, a
weekend adventure on twisty roads or going out with family and friends.
Virtually every part of the suspension has been retuned or redesigned
for 2011. A new and improved powertrain lineup also contributes to the
new 200 sedan's driving experience. The 2011 Chrysler 200 is offered
with the proven 2.4-liter World Gas Engine or the available new
3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine which provides an even more exhilarating
driving experience that offers customers the best of both worlds -
best-in-class V-6 horsepower and exceptional fuel economy. The new
3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine produces 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft.
of torque, and is mated to the 62TE six-speed transmission.
The 200 sedan is an exciting alternative for customers that want style and substance, all at a surprising value.

Chrysler 200 LX: $19,995 (including $750 destination) Chrysler 200 Touring: $21,995 (including $750 destination) Chrysler 200 Limited: $24,495 (including $750 destination)

Finally, though far from least, is the Chrysler Town & Country.
First, Chrysler created a segment (luxury) in the hotly contested
minivan arena, after having introduced the first minivans U.S. consumers
had ever seen some 25 years ago.
Next, it refused to rest on its laurels, and upped the ante once again.
All the senses will be aroused by the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country
minivan.
It is a beautifully inspired vehicle built with a craftsmanship,
elegance and sophistication not found in other minivans. Additionally,
the Town & Country provides the safety, security and driving
dynamics consumers expect, with the
innovative technology that keeps
Walter P. Chrysler's legacy of engineering innovations alive and well.
Town & Country remains true to the Chrysler Brand credo,
including being attainable to all, rather than merely a select few.
The new 2011 Chrysler Town & Country minivan delivers great American
design, innovative technology, unparalleled functionality and all the
standard safety features a family aspires to have in a vehicle, at a
surprising value.
For 2011, virtually every customer touch point was redesigned or
re-engineered. From a suspension redesign that delivers an exhilarating
driving performance, to a new powertrain with best-in-class horsepower
and excellent fuel economy, to the new, exquisitely-crafted interior
cabin with clever features a family appreciates, to the beautifully
sleek new exterior design, thoughtful innovation was engineered in every
aspect of the new Town & Country.
Chrysler Group continues its industry-leading innovation in the minivan
segment with minivan-first features for 2011 including a heated steering
wheel, new Stow 'n Place? roof rack system that allows roof bows to be
stored in the rails when not in use, a new, integrated, super center
console for first- and second-row passengers, and new fuel economizer
mode that changes the transmission shift schedule, helping the driver
maximize fuel efficiency
With exquisite styling, a beautifully crafted interior, more than 40
standard safety and technology features, 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 dreams.
The starting U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is:
Chrysler Town & Country Touring: $30,995 (including $835 destination) Chrysler Town & Country Touring L: $32,995 (including $835 destination) Chrysler Town & Country Limited: $39,495 (including $835 destination)
