The base Avenger will once again start with Chrysler's 2.4-liter World Engine -- an inline-four currently rated at 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque -- that has been recalibrated and matched with a six-speed automatic (2010 models use a four-speed). The top engine for the R/T trim is -- you guessed it -- a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, also mechanically linked to a six-speed auto. We expect fuel economy to improve slightly for the respective four- and six-cylinder engines for the new model year.

Performance changes spread to the ride as well. Engineers took the opportunity to give the suspension an overhaul, adding new components and revising the overall geometry. The front and rear track grows an inch to 62.8 inches, while ride height drops 0.47 inch in the front and 0.24 inch out back. The standard tire width expands from 215 millimeters to 225 millimeters, giving the Avenger more rubber (and more usable power) to put to the ground. Dodge says 26 of the 30 different suspension bushings have been redesigned. The sum alterations supposedly decrease body roll and shake, and deliver enhanced steering feel and dynamic response.
The Avenger's overall shape is mostly the same from the front, side, and especially the back. As expected, Dodge's corporate split crosshair grille is prominently displayed up front. The lower front fascia gets flared out a bit for a more aggressive look. Thankfully the Avenger ditches the chunky design elements propagated on the current model.
Itching to put the refreshed Avenger through its paces? We are. The improved Dodge is set to arrive at Dodge dealers later this year

Dodge's midsize Avenger doesn't get the same amount of recognition as its larger Charger brother, and in some respects has become a forgotten car in the Dodge stable. But the Mopar boys are hoping to change that with an updated 2011 Dodge Avenger.
Following in the footsteps of the its recently revealed Chrysler 200 sibling, the 2011 Avenger is a stopgap to freshen things up until an all-new, Fiat-based model arrives in a few years' time.
You'll notice the drab black, gray, and silver Avenger interior of old has left the building. As you step into the cockpit you're greeted by the colorful gauge cluster and updated steering wheel. Dodge ordered new cloth and leather material for the seats, which are now appointed with more cushioning and retuned base springs. Soft-touch armrests envelop the innards, and 45 new or upgraded sound-dampening treatments have been installed to help quiet the ride.
Continuing the parade of interior changes, the three-spoke steering wheel is fitted with more buttons to control the sound system, cruise control, and more. The vents have been redesigned for aesthetic and functional purposes, and two-tone color schemes may be ordered if desired. Further features include ambient lighting, voice command, a USB port, navigation, Bluetooth, and a hard drive with Gracenote music identification.

The exterior of the 2011 Chrysler 200 attempts to pull away from its Sebring predecessor. The sedan features a bigger grille is bigger and projector-style headlights that give the front a new angle, while the rear features a sleeker look with slimmer taillights and a fresh rear fascia. Even the Chrysler badging has taken a new direction. The 200 also has LEDs everywhere in an attempt to give it more class than the outgoing Sebring. LED taillights are joined by an LED high-mounted brakelight. In front, the 200 joins the LED light pipe party, with some LEDs around the headlights for extra style.
Sitting beneath the hood is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 or the base 2.4-liter inline-four. An old-school four-speed automatic transmission will be offered at the lower end of the lineup, but a six-speed auto will otherwise be standard gear-changing fare.
The $19,995 Chrysler 200 LX may continue to be a rental car special, with its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed automatic. The 200 Touring is $2000 more, but Chrysler is still keeping quiet on what exactly separates the trim levels. Regardless of whether you choose cloth or leather seats, all 200s have a new seat design with more cushion material and revised spring geometry.
The 200 Limited will retail for $24,495, or $1630 more than a 2010 Chrysler Sebring Limited. An S model will arrive later.

Fiat took an interest in Chrysler, many figured it wouldn't be long before Chrysler-branded Fiat products would show up in the U.S. Now, the first one is here. Fiat subsidiary Lancia has rebranded its Delta hatchback as a Chrysler for the 2010 Detroit Auto Show.
We heard a few weeks ago that the rebranding of Lancia vehicles was a possibility, but we were still pleasantly surprised to see a new model on Chrysler's stand next to a handful of badge-only special editions. In all that domestic rebadging, though, no one seems to have come up with a new name for the Delta. For now, it's simply known as the Chrysler Lancia. From the looks of things, it's a Lancia Delta with new-age Chrysler badges and a Chrysler corporate grille, and truth be told, it doesn't look that bad.
The real question is what this car represents. It very well could be a peek into the future Chrysler lineup, one populated with Fiat models. On the other hand, it could also be a look at Fiat's strategy to rebrand some its models worldwide as Chryslers thanks to the American brand's better name recognition in some markets. For its part, Chrysler isn't saying why it's here, but it's a good bet that they're testing the waters in Detroit for Italian rebadges.
