Chrysler's mid-sized competitor is a bit long in the tooth. When Fiat took over, it made a serious attempt to move the brand's vehicles forward into competitiveness and out of the cost-cutting hole they had dug. It received a restyle for the 2011 model year, along with a different interior and now the Pentastar V6, but the financial meltdown meant they couldn't afford a clean-sheet redesign. It's still riding on a version of the Sebring platform from 2007.
The particular model we received was the top-spec Limited version, with chromed side mirrors, navigation, and so on. It empties the wallet heartily, the window sticker reading nearly $28,000. The base 200 starts at $18,995.
