I know the first 200, along with the shared Avenger sedan(Galant as well?) was a true hunk of E36 M3. I had held out hope the second gen was better. It certainly looked good and the pentastar was tempting.

Whatever are you going on about? Sounds like someone is a little testy about the demise of the Chrysler 200?

I heard they are moving production to Russia and it will have Urea injection.

Years ago a good friend of mine had a Cirrus. The things he told me about that car make me wonder how the company that produced it is still in business.

In their defense they've been trying to go out of business my entire life but people keep stepping in and stoping them.

Are you just going back to being a troll again, Iggy, or are you really all butt-hurt that Fiat-Chrysler discontinued the 200?

Big problem for FCA is that their quality issues aren't limited to just the 200. Not by a long shot.

By superbly negotiating the purchase of the remaining FCA 200's left in Dealers' stock, one could begin construction of a fantastic, American-built wall that was imported from Detroit.

I have one and it does the job. I would never buy one new, but the depreciation curve was plenty steep to make it worth my while. Goes like a sumbiscuit in a straight line with the pentastar, and the alpine stereo sounds pretty good. It's definitely not an enthusiast's vehicle.

I think you're on to something there. We already have one on the north side of Texas made from Detroit Iron. Here's a pic:

We could put another one on the other side of Texas so that they would match.

Back OT, Ive rented a few 200s while on vacation. The Chrysler 200 is extra mediocre. Nothing about driving it was great, but nothing made me wanna puke either. It possesses 4 round tires, an engine, a seat for the driver, a wheel by which to steer, and doors that open and close. It is, by definition, an automobile, if not a forgettable one. Sometimes I would get in, operate it, arrive at a location, get out, walk away, and then wonder what had happened, because I had forgotten the entire experience.

And here I was, holding hope that FCA would make those Chrysler 200s great again.

Calling out bs is the exact opposite of trolling.

With enough of it, the FCA 200 could be nicer than the Trabant.

I want to make America funny again.

I just found a picture of when Obama was unsuccessfully trying to open the front door of the White House.

It would have been awesome sauce to reply to Fueled by Caffeine’s “now lock it” post with a simple “ok” followed by the picture.

Not because I want to offend anyone…to me, it would have just been a harmless little goof….make some folks giggle for a moment and move on.
