Torque limiter?

edit

How did they manage to squeeze a lowly 350 Nm from 3.6L? Did they artificially limit torque? (I myself drive a rock-bottom 1.9L rated for 310 Nm. Oh yes it's a diesel but an equivalent class petrol like 1.4L TSI still pumps out 200 to 250 Nm). East of Borschov 11:13, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

read some engine engineering books. you can't simply compare a turbo-diesel or a turbo-petrol to a normally aspirated petrol engine. the pentastar is an excellent piece of kit. 76.89.129.139 (talk) 21:31, 26 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
97 Nm per litre , quite normal for naturally aspirated engine, best NA engines have slighty over 100Nm per litre nowadays... -->Typ932 T·C 12:41, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Indirect Competitors

edit

In terms of price, the 200 isn't a luxury car. The Ford Fusion, Chevy Malibu, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Subaru Legacy, and VW Passat compete directly to the 200. But can the fully-equipped, V6 200 compete indirectly with entry-level luxury cars like the Buick Regal GS, the Lexus IS 350, and the Acura TSX 3.5? 46.4.214.230 (talk) 00:03, 26 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sure we can! Of course, the 200 is a luxury Dart. Altimgamr (talk) 02:25, 29 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Is this model related to the 2015 UF model base? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.145.9.66 (talk) 11:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Luxury Car

edit

Chrysler does refer to the second-gen 200 as a luxury car: http://www.chrysler.com/en/car/ "The All-New 2015 Chrysler 200 is a midsize luxury sedan that features a refined and stylish exterior and a richly adorned interior."

I argue that it is indeed a luxury car. Its most direct competitor in the USA is the Buick Regal, which is also a luxury car. The Regal GS and 200C are very close competitors in feature sets and specifications, especially a 200C V6. Not to mention price similarities.

Points objecting are welcomed, but I believe the consensus is that it is luxury. Starting this topic to avoid an edit war however on the subject. 73.48.150.124 (talk) 19:24, 5 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

In my opinion it is definitely not a luxury car, despite Chrysler's marketing hyperbole. There should be a neutral, reliable third party describing the vehicle as a luxury car in order to label it as one. Bahooka (talk) 19:27, 5 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
For example, US News & World Report classifies it as an "affordable mid-size car". Bahooka (talk) 19:35, 5 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
