Did anyone see the interior shot? Granted it does not have the navigation screen, but that is simply ridiculous. This is exactly why american cars can't gain appeal. I wonder at what point in the board room did they think it was okay for the air vents to be that much larger than the infotainment screen.
Y'all need to calm down. That's the base model interior. Hoovey is right- that's for models without nav. It's no different than what you find in a Ford Fusion. Here's a well-optioned example, courtesy of Jalopnik:
what else is a modern sedan going to look like?

Very soft and feminine styling. Shape of headlights is about fifteen years past. "Melting" is indeed a good word for the body. I hate dumpy (sloped) rear-ends and short trunks, (a la Avalon), and this has it. Cheap and compact car-like, and creates a nerdy hatchback look. Front looks like the Passat CC facelift, which is dated and plain.
But yes, the numbers are impressive. Is all that power and torque through the front wheels? That could be a big problem on non-AWD models.
And here's yet another U.S. car that has a sporty blue paint job. Maybe Lexus is making more money selling Ultrasonic Blue to other brands than putting on their own cars.

It's attractive and a huge advancement over what they were offering in this segment. But these days it just seems as if there is a limited, set profile of what cars in this class are supposed to be. Sleek with an ambiance of luxury, nondescript front ends, coupe-like roof lines, etc. While all the entries in the segment, Accord, Altima, Fusion, 6, Sonota, Camry, Optima, are all getting better all the time there is a homogenization going on which sort of keeps any one car from standing out. It's as if they all cancel each other out in a way. But the gamble that comes with doing anything radical could sink you. What a catch 22!
After all is said and done though, this new 200 will do wonders for Chrysler's monthly sales.
