Seems like a pretty decent, likeable guy!  I just wish he didn't have to say the silly corporate stuff like

"One thing Chrysler has always been successful with is offering a premium-looking, upscale vehicles at an affordable price". 

As car enthusiasts, we know that line is a complete crock....

Will be interesting to see how the 200 is received here.  IIRC, the previous 200 sold well in Canada, but less so in the USA.

The new 200 exterior design is a huge improvement and I hope Jeff gets to work his stuff on the 300.

He seems competent.  His Cherokee design is the best looking car Chrysler makes IMO.

I was truly impressed by both the interior design quality when I checked out the new 200 at CIAS last week. Outside it's largely successful as well, but I feel the rear quarter is a little too Dart, a design I've never warmed up to. Jeff's hands may have been tied somewhat in this regard, however.
