At the
2011 Detroit Auto Show Chrysler showed off a Mopar tuned version of the new 200
sedan dubbed Super S. the car featured a new grille, a lowered ride height, and
a vented hood among other things. Following the launch of the Standard “S” line
Chrysler plans to launch the Super S in Detroit this year, but thankfully this
one appears to have left the vents at the Studio. The revised 200 Super S
includes new ground effect, Satin chrome trim on the fog lamp housings, Tail
light bar, and grille surround, the actual grille is black chrome mesh, like
that of its larger stablemate, the 300. Mopar also added Black Chrome badging,
new wheels, diffusers, and an integrated spoiler. To make Chrysler’s entry
level car a little hotter Mopar threw a few things in under the hood, including
a cold air intake, a revised suspension, and a new exhaust system. Perhaps this
will help silence a few of the 200’s Critics, I personally think the 200 is a
good looking car. This may help sales along a bit, I can’t wait to see this
package on the convertible variant, that way it doesn’t have the Sedan’s awkward
greenhouse, even though this kit definitely makes it look better proportioned
in my opinion. 
Lancia Has
very controversially been rebranding a trio of Chryslers for European sales, of
course not without upgrading interior materials, and adding a few Traditional
design elements, much the same way that Chrysler’s European Division has re
badged the Delta and Ypsilon. To sweeten the already feature rich cars; Lancia
has added a few new options that unfortunately may never see our shores. For the
Voyager Minivan they now offer a line of specially designed children’s seats,
new tires, a new bike carrier, and a very spacious tent A La Aztek, the Tent is
one feature I would love to get here in America, it may even add some kind of excitement
to the Minivan for me, it looks like the perfect thing for a large family who
enjoys the wilderness. The Thema, known as the Chrysler 300 in our market, will
offer a new series of 20” wheels, a set of roof racks to expand the car’s
capability, and much like our American Version the Thema will be offered with a
wide selection of grills, however these appear to be unique to the European
Market, The grills will be offered in both Chrome and Body Color, The one shown
in the first official photo is quite nice, and I would like to see them reach
our shores as well. There is no word on whether or not the Lancia Badged 200
convertible, dubbed Flavio, will receive options like these has yet to be
determined, but considering this is considered by many people to be the least desirable
of the three I think it would be a bright Idea.
