AN: Spotted: 2015 Chrysler 200 or...?
Chrysler is continuing to get a great deal of mileage from its Alfa Romeo bodies, this time attached to a somewhat bug-eyed hatchback mule which, from the front, appears to be a Chrysler 200/Lancia Flavia test car. If the powertrain and cooling systems are being tested, there would be little need for the rear to be in final form, which we would normally assume would be a sedan for American sale. The 200 is set to run with the TigerShark 2.4 engine and 3.2-liter Pentastar V6, both hooked up to a nine-speed automatic; European versions would almost certainly come with a two-liter diesel engine, as the Alfa Romeo Giulia is rumored to have. The 200 is set to be built starting in the first quarter of 2014. The similar Giulia, if it is still “on,” will use the 1.4 turbo and the Alfa 1.8 direct-injection turbo engine and a 2-liter..

We know the 200 is coded "UF" so if that's what's listed on the windshield, there you go.

That mule - especially the hood line - seems very tall.

I sure hope that's not the new 200 or "Chrysler's new styling direction".
When Gilles says the new 200 will be "striking" or whatever word he used, remember that is only his opinion, and he probably has a similarly high opinion of the new Cherokee. Just sayin'.

Then why is the steering wheel along the guardrail side of the road and the opposite side is a white dashed line, indicating a two lane?Dave said:

If they're passing on the left, then that is a right-hand drive vehicle.Muther said:

Looks like a mirror image - the guardrail is separating lanes of traffic because there's little room for a proper median.

A little googling brought up what looks to be the same mule from a year ago: http://blogs.automotive.com/spied-2014-chrysler-100-seen-testing-with-heavy-front-end-camouflage-100055.html/2014-chrysler-100-spy-photos-nose/marlon_jbt said:
However, the model code is quite clear in this shot as UF.

Seriously??? The car is clearly a mirror shot, the mirror edge is in the upper lefthand of the photo and it says "Indianblogs" right on the photo credits. Obviously our sense of humor's operate in different wavelengths...Stratuscaster said:
You know,... like styling likes and dislikes...
That said, the ride height is tall, as is the ground clearance, so the Chrysler grill is either, likely a muse, to put off an untrained eye, or that is the future Chrysler Crossover, minivan replacement and not the next 200.
Not the same mule, different stance and height.abgwin said:
It's a FOUR lane road.Muther said:
Look past to the opposing traffic. ( click on the photo to get the full sized shot).
