Probably laser cruise.

not bad. Wish the front grill was larger, but overall, not bad...

Looks like a good evolution of the current car. I'm sure it will do well. Heck, I'd drive it.

A nice improvement, but not great. I know that they will put the new pentastar 3.6L in there, but something to wow us would be a diesel or a hybrid.

For a car that came out in 2005 (it's in its 7th year!), this is hardly enough of a change/improvement. Is this supposed to go another full generation?

Chrysler isn't doing nearly enough to fight for their continued existence.

You take a look at Ford and GM's improvements since 2005, and it's like we have two new companies. Chrysler is still sitting on its ***. Never mind that they are at the bottom of quality ratings over and over again.

I kinda like Lancia emblem outline in the grille. But overall, I think they took a strong design and made it bland and uninteresting. It reminds me of what VW did with the Jetta.
