One car, the Journey. Can’t they at least get the Charger? Considering both the RWD Commodore and the Falcon are gone?

Chrysler aren’t much better, all they offer is the 300. Jeep has an almost identical lineup to North America though. Basically, FCA doesn’t give a SHIT about any of the Chrysler brands outside of North America, other than Jeep.

Come to think of it, they barely give a shit about anything but Jeep and Ram in North America too.

I really hope the next gen Charger/300/Challenger are world cars. They should be competent enough to actually be that, since the Giulia is good.

To be honest, FCA doesn’t give a shit about Chrysler in the US either. I mean this is Chrysler’s US lineup:

200 (Production ending in December, no announced replacement):

300 :

Pacifica :

Granted the stable is not quite so bare with the Dodge and Ram brands, but seriously it appears Chrysler will have a grand total of two models for sale once the stock of 200's is sold.

Wow and I though in my country their offerings were bad with the Challenger, Durango and Journey. Oddly enough they stopped selling the Charger a while back but all the new police cars are Charger/Durango PPV.

The Dart only lasted for a year in the market too.

I’m still relieved they offer a manual in the wrangler.

Now you’re getting it.

Here’s the combined Dodge, Chrysler and RAM lineup in the Netherlands:

There are Jeeps though: Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Compass, Renegade and the 2 and 4 door Wrangler. Of those only the Renegade sells in somewhat considerable numbers (market share: 0.15%). New Cherokees sold about 50 times 2016, the Wrangler 2 and the Compass 0. So, other than the Italian brands the Renegade is the only FCA car that actually sells here.

It gets worse. You can also buy the same car in Australia as a Fiat . They try to dress it up as some sophisticated European luxury car. It’s the same ugly American-made trash with the same stupid faux-macho wheel arches.

This thing triggers me proper

I drove a 200 my dad had as a rental once. I have never driven anything so horribly beige and dull. I’ve driven several variations of Camry, Corolla and other assorted “boring” cars, even a freaking Kia Rio, like one of the really awful ones from before Kia figured out how to make cars and the 200 took the cake.  Like I get why people don’t like cars if their first experience is an ex-rental Chrysler 200 or Dodge Avenger their parents picked up for them. I would want it to drive itself too.

And don’t get me started on the 300, who thought it was a good idea to offer a flagship car that makes you look like you’re trying way too hard unless you happen to fit the car perfectly. Also, it’s sitting on a platform that’s 11 years old and closely based on even older Mercedes platforms.

The Pacifica looks pretty good, nothing to say there.

I just don’t understand how Chrysler can offer so little.
