    Chrysler To Give 2014 200 A Short Run

    By William Maley

    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.

      This is not good for them and continues to show how terribly run Tesla is. Oil and gas supplier says Tesla is ‘refusing to pay’ $2 million in past-due bills – and that chaotic staffing has only made it worse

      Very interesting, but shows how good BYD packages their EV components compared to American, Japan, Europe and Korea. BYD's Five-Minute Fast-Charging EV Also Has An Enormous Frunk I will say that My EV9 frunk is big in comparison to GM, all of Japan and Europe EVs, but small in comparison to the packaging by Chinese auto companies and BYD clearly took the frunk approach to our U.S. EV Trucks and applied it to their cars and SUVs. HUGE BYD SUV Frunk BYD Car Frunk, Tesla has nothing on this, except to say Tesla is very tiny in comparison.

      Today I'm deep fried in "trinacria" ... Three days of this.  I didn't want to leave and go to a more rural place with no view in another area.  The outline across is the Italian mainland, so I'm about 30 miles south of Messina, where the distance across the strait is about a mere 1.5 miles. As I'm traveling south on the autostrada after checking out, this pullout with an Autogrill has a nice view of Mt. Etna. I went into a store to pick up some groceries and saw this:  Fonzies and Cipster!  Cipster is spelled for Italian phonetics because Chipster would be pronounced "Keep-stare." While going for a haircut based on Google reviews, I passed by this place. I had to take a photo showing "team spirit."

      He's reduced his stake in BYD from 10% to less than 5%.  https://fortune.com/asia/2024/07/23/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-cuts-byd-stake-china-ev/
