"The 2012 Chrysler 200 Sedan symbolizes the never-say-die spirit of this
city, this company, and this country," said Saad Chehab, Head, Chrysler Brand -
Chrysler Group LLC. "It is proof that a well-made, luxurious, American mid-size
sedan not only exists, but hails from a place where hard work and style have
been a hallmark for generations. Born from the belief that luxury is for anyone
who deserves it, the Chrysler 200 offers the best value in its class."
New for 2012, the Chrysler 200 sedan sports two new exterior colors, Crystal
Blue Pearl Coat, and Deep Auburn, as well as new, lower, entry level pricing.
The 2012 Chrysler 200 has a starting U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
(MSRP) of $18,995 (excluding $750 destination).
The 2012 Chrysler 200 exterior design highlights a sculpted front fascia, clean
surfaces and sleek lines. Distinctive features like the Chrysler brand grille
with the signature Chrysler winged badge, LED accent light pipe above the
headlamps, projector fog lamps and LED taillamps round out the vehicle resulting
in a design that's elegant and refined.
The beautifully crafted interior wraps the driver and passengers in a level of
quality materials, craftsmanship and content that is world-class. Comfortable
seating, "soft touch" armrests and instrument panel and premium interior
finishes for touch points are not only pleasing to the touch, but also to the
eye.
The 2012 Chrysler 200 provides drivers an agile, confident, handling performance
in all driving situations, whether it's commuting to work, a weekend adventure
on twisty roads or going out with family and friends.
