    Chrysler To Give 2014 200 A Short Run

    By William Maley

    March 18, 2013

    The current Chrysler 200 will have a short 2014 model year according to some internal documents.

    Automotive News got their hands on the documents and report that production of the 2014 Chrysler 200 will start in July at Chrysler's Sterling Heights plant in Michigan and end in the second week of January. A bit surprising since production usually would run well through 2014. This has led everyone to think the next-generation 200 is just around the corner.

    This is further substantiated by Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne saying the introduction of the new 200 would be delayed till early next year.

    All we know about the next 200 is that it will be much more sleeker than the previous model, utilize the same platform as the Dodge Dart, and come with a nine-speed transmission.

    As for the Dodge Avenger, the documents don't reveal any information.

    These were all design studies from a third-year transportation design student, but somehow I find them pretty interesting. :AH-HA:

    As for the new 200 being Dart-based, I'm actually hearing conflicting reports on that. Some reports point to it being CUSW-based, others point to it being based on a new rear-drive D-segment platform.

    RWD would be a nice market differentiator, and a smaller RWD platform has been rumored for the SRT Cuda if that happens.

    The information and subsequent rumorpile circulating around Chrysler's upcoming D-segment cars are both so horribly confusing it's honestly difficult to get a good grasp on what's going on.

    From what I can discern, the likelihood of a few new rear-drive D-segment cars from Chrysler is quite good. After all, the upcoming Alfa Romeo Guilia is supposed to be rear-drive and that certainly opens up an opportunity for Chrysler to use it's platform for a new 200. From what I've heard, if the Guilia is rear-drive, the platform would share a few common hardpoints with CUSW (read: Dart) to keep costs low. Technically, this would make a theoretical next-generation 200 Dart-based even if it were rear-drive. The SRT Cuda may also use this platform, if it isn't just a rumor.

      Thanks, I definitely did not remember reading that. I, too, would have been upset about that announcement. That certainly would have been a way to keep me out of future Ford products.

      Windows 11 has pro's and Con's but then what version of windows did not. Overall, I have NOT seen any possessive or restrictive issues with what you can do with Windows 11. Now one thing to be aware is that 11 does have more hardware requirements, so it is possible that if you try to update your current Win10 setup, it could come back and say I cannot until you get a compatible CPU or Graphics card, etc. I would double check your system against the requirements, does not make any sense to spend hours attempting to upgrade if your system will not truly support it. Windows 11 Specs and System Requirements | Microsoft Windows I have a Maxed out with SSD drives Lenovo Laptop that is fast and rocks but does not pass the hardware check so it cannot upgrade to Win11, so it will stay at Win10 since it works just fine.  Ignore the threats about everything as it is Microsoft's attempt to get you to spend money on hardware and new Win11 when you really do not have too.

      WIndows 11 ... Now that I have (your, someone's) attention, I have a question or two. I'm still running Windows 10 and it has been great.  I can speak for my laptop, but haven't used my HP tower in a good while.  Support for Windows 10 goes away in mid-October of this year. I have held back on converting because, first and foremost, I heard it is a lot more possessive and restrictive of what you can do with it ... by that, I mean it pushes you into more proprietary sites and options rather than letting you choose.  It's bossy, in a way.* To me, that sounds like a bad thing more than a good thing. The other is that it needs 40GB of RAM free at the moment to do the installation.  I'm going to have to make some room. Can I get some input (in wording better suited for a general user) on the concerns voiced in the last 2 paragraphs?   Thank you. * I'm not the sort of person to be "whipped," so that would be a problem ... LOL
