Chrysler 200 2011 - Stripped determine

Chrysler 200 2011 - Stripped xacDau years, Chrysler has introduced an entirely new product Chrysler 200. This midsize cars Chrysler will make the task of competing with the Camry and Accord in the U.S. market. But in Vietnam, the Chrysler 200 will still only be a new name to add to the customer choice.

Chrysler is a new brand to enter the market in Vietnam, most consumers know the brand primarily through 300C large sedan. Now the new Chrysler 200 will follow the path you reach 300C on Vietnamese customers. So Chrysler 200 is the car like?
These products are created to replace the Sebring midsize car pretty ugly and the company's lackluster. The name is derived from the 200 ideas from top Chrysler 300 model to show that it is positioned very clear segment. Despite a new name and Chrysler says that this is a completely new product, but in fact their, Chrysler 200 that it was just a new model is made of Sebring earlier version but more sophisticated .
The exterior, chrome grille 5 spokes with the Chrysler wing badge has become leaner to improve sliding seems less coarse. X-shaped front bumper is refreshing trend modern design that today's automakers are applying. Headlights are designed with a range of tubes surrounded but in my opinion, this design seems to have little resemblance to the Kia K7 headlights.
Tail lights to LED technology, its design makes the car look very attractive and luxurious when viewed from the rear. Overall, the Chrysler 200 is the car with eye-catching design, low center of gravity, and bring elegance to modern breath. I love what the designers have given Chrysler 200.

Interior space, the Chrysler 200 has reserved 80% of the design of the old Sebring, but interior quality is raised at a high level. Passengers will experience a luxurious atmosphere while sitting in the car. Seats are soft leather and sewing craft shows level has been raised to a level. The details are resilient plastic brings a pleasant sensation on contact.
Area control center is a 6.5 inch touch screen with the function keys are arranged neatly on either side of the system comes 6-speaker Boston Acoustic. A small clock above add elegance to the interior space, while the encapsulated bottom with 3 cooling function knob. In addition, a 30G hard drive and iPod connectivity will definitely be worth the entertainment utility customers interested.
On the steering wheel, Chrysler 200 also equips relatively more connectivity features, such as the phone supports Bluetooth, Cruise Control, voice commands ... the clock cluster-meter-tube meters are separate functions clear, however to me it has not left much impression. Take a backseat to say that space can be created but not enough for passengers to feel completely comfortable.
Unfortunately, the Chrysler 200 is the car from the U.S. to Vietnam in radio function can not be used. Although it is equipped with anti-theft lock keyless but Chrysler has yet to give 200 system Start / Stop Engine.
Regulating also just stop at a regional control. Storage compartment of the Chrysler 200 is considered small compared to the level when the car is only 385 liters, after all, the rear seats are folded by the ratio 60/40 will expand the ability to transport goods to the this area.
Back to Vietnam, Chrysler 200 version just stop engine 2.4L Dual VVT I-4, power 129 kW (173 HP), 225 Nm torque, using the 6-speed automatic transmission. Test drive the vehicle, original sense of the Chrysler 200 is an agile, confident feel in all driving situations. McPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension provides for a smooth journey for passengers as well as increase the ability to control the vehicle.
I appreciate the sound capabilities of the Chrysler 200, the cabin is quite quiet even when the vehicle runs at high speed. Noise from road surface seems to be limited to the maximum extent. If you are the favorite sport, you can switch to AutoStick mode and then you will all change control what speed you want.
Experiment with acceleration from 0-100 km / h in non-standard way, Chrysler 200 lost 13.35 seconds but showed strong engine but acceleration is not too impressive. ABS, BA, ESC electronic stability and traction control standard Traction Control will help you keep your vehicle always get stability when braking or when cornering.
Chrysler 200 is equipped with 6 airbags safety system should also understandable why this is the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety U.S. highly in crash tests.
It can be seen that the Chrysler 200 is excellent although not in terms of furniture and fitted utility but what it offers is a design looks beautiful, motors suit road conditions in Vietnam, 6-speed gearbox will definitely help you feel more softness while controlling the vehicle....

Three American automakers lost $ 4 billion since the crisis



After the U.S. market downturn, followed by the car manufacturers GM and Chrysler have received government bailout, along with the two automakers Ford has a quick recovery and is now reaching benefits near record profits.

However, it seems that the big three American car industry is faced with even though car sales are increasing their sales in most regions of the world, but the debt crisis in Europe has made their business activities in this area losses.

According to the Detroit News, the car brand Opel / Vauxhall and GM partner PSA Peugeot Citroen of France, a subsidiary of Ford in Europe and Fiat - which owns the automaker Chrysler, will be a total loss of $ 4 billion this year when doing business in Europe by sales of cars sold in the old continent is plunged to the lowest level since the mid-1990s. And watching the situation could hardly be better in the short term.

IHS Automotive analyst Tim Urguhart the Detroit News adds that European carmakers will face "a difficult recovery and time-consuming." Another way to overcome the car company This is following the example of the U.S., namely the closure of the plant, to terminate contracts with dealers and are generally cut losses.

However, unlike the U.S., the European governments are not willing to cooperate and let the automaker closed its plants as this will increase unemployment and cause more serious crisis . Moreover, the union of workers in the continent have the greater power of the partners in the United States.

Another difference is that unlike the big three of the U.S. in 2008 and 2009, European automakers are not totally stuck for cash, even the French company PSA Peugeot Citroen has about $ 13 billion in cash and the credits. In addition, the situation seems inconsistent when the region most severely affected are in southern and western Europe and even car manufacturers are also not the same situation.

For example, the Volkswagen Group of Germany is doing better than ever. While many plants of European car manufacturers just run with less than 70% capacity, the Volkswagen factory activity up to 93% capacity because the automaker has continuously introduced other models.

Meanwhile, Fiat lack of new models and depending too much on the domestic market of GM's Opel brand is not fare much better when the $ 16 billion loss in the last 12 years. GM has repeatedly denied that it plans to remove this brand as some analysts anticipated and hoped its strategic alliance with PSA will create more motivation, is also its least save more than $ 2 billion.

Ford also branches in Europe despite introducing 15 new models are also considering reducing the capacity of the company's spokesman Mark Truby said his branch "is reviewing all areas of business to solve the the current market situation and make the right move. "
