Impressive, but I'll reserve judgement until we see the volume versions. The way the instrument binnacle "melts" to the left bothers me, but otherwise a clean job from Sergio's garage!

What are you talking about? That 'stingray wing' treatment makes the whole interior!

I prefer my stingrays with two flippers, not one

is this the fourth separate thread now?....

come on... clean this up. it's not like they were all the same time either... they have each had hours between them.

rotary shifter...interesting.  So VW, Audi, and Toyota/Subaru twin styling on the outside, ideas stolen from Jaguar on the inside.  Definitely following Hyundai's pursuits.  Maybe it'll work for Chrysler, too.

She's a looker. Chrysler cannot afford to mess this up. Beautiful car. The perfect engine options would be the 2.4 Tigershark, 3.2 Pentastar, 3.6 Pentastar, and 3.0 diesel. One can only hope!

I think it looks awful. Especially that back end. Interior isn't terrible, but not pretty either.

Still, can't be worse to drive than the Sebring current 200.... Right?

I dont see any Toyota/Subaru styling in this car at all. hell the car looks great.  But, Audi most definitely, good job Chrysler.

The knob comes from the RAM trucks, and like with the 8-speed slushie these Euro trannies seem to be designed around "gear switches" rather than "gear levers".

Jaguar adds a telescoping function to their knob, meaning down the road you'll need a screwdriver to prop it up

The 3.2L and 3.6L are the same block - no needs to lower the stroke in this car - it doesn't need the extra 1MPG and wouldn't offer any fuel savings.  To remain competitive against its rivals, it needs to be cheap to produce (fewer option choices, so not having 4 different engines available) and has to have competitive numbers.  If the Camry V6 has 268hp/248lb-ft, then the logical choice is to leave the 283-305hp 3.6L (depending on tuning), which will be similar enough in fuel economy, but have a power advantage to rival V6s.  The 3.2L at 271hp/239ft-lbs doesn't 'wow' the competition in either fuel economy, nor power.  It COULD work, but the 3.6L is no more expensive to produce.

I suspect the Cherokee had fuel economy more on the mind as CUVs are much more 'intense' on that criterion than the mid-size sedans in the US.

I dont see any Toyota/Subaru styling in this car at all. hell the car looks great.  But, Audi most definitely, good job Chrysler.

I see the BRZ/FRS in the rear, but I concur that it's much more Audi-esque.
