Chrysler’s 200 sedan debuted in the spring of 2014 with great hopes. It was following a model that began life as the Sebring under Daimler Chrysler, survived Cerberus Capital’s ownership of its parent, and was significantly and successfully redesigned under Fiat.

Don’t misunderstand; it’s not a bad car. In fact it is quite a beautiful one with respectable handling, stylish interior, and frugal fuel economy. But, crossovers are king and Chrysler needs production space for the Cherokee. So, let’s take one last look at the 200 before it disappears this fall.
