Chrysler-watchers have been puzzled lately by the appearance of a “Super 8” package on the Chrysler 200. Was this a comic-book superhero tie-in? A reference to old film or tape formats? A return of the 8-track cassette player? According to some sources, the Super 8 package is merely an error — the actual package is “Super S.” What this entails is unknown. The 200 S Convertible Special Edition ( ordering code AAZ) is due to enter production in early September 2013; the Super 8 package is set for early October. It does seem likely now, given that both 200S Special Edition and Super 8 Package are listed as code AAZ, that the Super 8 package is actually just the Super S, as retyped by a person with fuzzy vision. The company has released a “Super S” concept in the past (pictured). In other special-edition news, production of the Fiat..

If anyone can decipher this date, then we will know when the final production is scheduled to end. Also lends credence that "Super 8" is also a typo.....

The 2014 200 can get the Super S package on the Touring and Limited, with the limited also having the Super S Premium package on top of that(basically just leather)

if you watched the autoline "special" they did at the cruise, they went over the Super-S from Mopar.. sounds awesome for a 200.

My 1st thought was a tie-in with the hotel chain...

Maybe they are finally realizing they should have stuck w/ the 200 "8Mile" name!

my first thought was they decided that the concept car wasn't so bad after all...

I was hoping they didn't mean they wanted to build that Ugly thing!

Chrysler is more aimed at Buick, just like Walter P. Chrysler wanted it to be. Chrysler Corp. had an all auto luxury brand in Imperial. Personally I would like to see them push a higher end Chrysler models or brand. But again Chrysler was positioned to take on the likes of Buick and Mercury. The UF will be more luxurious as well. With the great rear wheel drive platforms Chrysler has, its to bad they wouldn't step it up to battle Cadillac and their old "merger of equals" partner Mercedes.

My first thought was the 01 concept also. I really liked the overall design of the car. It had an old school "gangster" type hot rod design.

I'd rather see them devoted to improving popular priced cars than rich man's toys.
