00:08 Chrysler has just taken the wraps off

00:10 of the new 2015 Chrysler 200.

00:13 This is a phenomenally better vehicle

00:16 than what was the outgoing model.

00:18 Don't buy the current generation.

00:20 Buy this one.

00:21 It'll come out later this year.

00:22 It's going to come with a 2.4 liter Tiger Shark four cylinder

00:25 engine, which is Fiat's multi-air engine,

00:28 and it'll produce 184 horsepower.

00:30 It's also going to have the 3.6 liter Pentastar V6 that

00:34 makes 295 horsepower.

00:35 And really, that's the engine you want.

00:37 Overall, I think that the exterior design is great.

00:39 They use all of the latest technology, LED headlights

00:42 and taillights.

00:43 One of the things about this car is the rear end.

00:45 It's really well done.

00:47 It has really great LED lightings.

00:49 All the cars will come with a dual integrated exhaust system

00:52 as well.

00:53 It just looks spectacular.

00:54 The bigger story, I think, with this car is the interior.

00:57 It's just stunningly done.

00:58 It's really well put together.

01:00 You get in that car and you close the door, and just

01:02 everything around you is just silent.

01:04 It has a floating console, which allows you to store things

01:07 under and on it.

01:09 There's lots of USB ports and all those different things,

01:12 so you can charge all your items all the time.

01:14 They've really thought out how a person uses a car,

01:17 and they've made it so that you can be very comfortable

01:20 all the time in it.

01:21 It's a well laid out and well designed machine.

01:24 Overall, I've got to say, I was really impressed when I first

01:26 saw this vehicle.

01:27 And I just think that it's one that can really make some waves

01:31 in the midsize segment.

01:32 It's going to come with a starting price of $22,695.

01:36 And I bet you, nicely loaded, it'll be about $25,000, $26,000.
