I'm really confused. Why did the Chrysler 200 fail?

[ifcar]

I will again say that I don't hate it, but it's understandable why it's struggling. Here's the review I'd done of it: http://www.examiner.com/article/review-2015-chrysler-200-limited-6th-place

A lot of the people hating on it haven't even driven it though. I haven't either but I'm at least giving it the benefit of the doubt.

I've driven one and didn't like it.

But of all companies, FCA is the last to get the benefit of the doubt with me.

I drove it and disliked it.

Also, I found a new favorite game.  Read TTAC articles, and find the sporty comments on them.

My favorite one so far was the comment saying the GTI is a poor man's 911

Are they so bad that it'd be a bad idea to buy one when you can get one for under $22k with a V6 and AWD?

I mean, based on sales I'd guess it's still a bad car even at that price. It's just surprising because it seems like a lot of car for the money.

A lot of bad car for the money is still a bad car

It's the jack of all trades. There are faster cars for the money (GT-R:stripper pony car) as well as more pure cars (Evora S:Miata), but if you could only have 1 car for the $$$ to be practical and fun to drive..... what else is there?

My point is, for the $$$ there are other cars that do certain things better, but no car that does so many things anywhere near as well. What is confusing about that?

Why the GTI specifically? What about the other hot hatches? Focus ST? WRX?

The Focus interior is too compromised in space efficiency. The WRX interior is too cheap to justify the price.

Nothing.

Was answering the question- literally.

So the GTI is like the 911 in that they're both good?

Focus interior is ugly as shit too, and the GTI is lighter, faster, quiter, more fuel efficient etc etc just a better all around car. GTI is as fast as my Z was and it gets about 50% better gas mileage lol.

An old El Camino with suspension upgrades, of course. It's unbeatable. Well, except for when it drops a valve into the cylinder.

pfft it's not like you don't know where the valve is. Just turn it upside down and shake it out.
