They're bringing back the 200!

[Ed Kellock]

Strangely it didn't even register with me.  I read about the Chrysler 200 in
a magazine a couple weeks ago and I didn't even make the connection.  And I
still own a 200.  I don't think anyone is going to confuse them.  Chrysler
already has the current 300 and I knew it was preceded many years before by
a 300, so to rename the Sebring the 200 just sort of made sense to me.
Isn't somebody in China remaking Audis and calling them 300s?

Audi used the "200" decades after Chrysler used it in the early 50's/late
40's to denote the "C200."  They have a long tradition of numbering their
cars.  Mercedes had 200's as did some defunct manufacturers.  
Bet the hydraulics and climate control are much less problematic than in the
Audi version.  Just hope you get a car made before the 10AM dope/booze
break. ;-)
