What next for Chrysler town and country?

Chystler town and country will maximize its efforts and concentration on the minivan.
Due to the ever increasing competitive environment, chystler will be forced to re-design its minivans completely. This move is very unpredictable to chystlers corporate controllers such as Fiat group who may decide to phase out the minivans and go for seven sweater kind of models.

On the other hand, Fiat may opt to continue with the minivans and remodel them to sleeker looking cars whose fuel consumption is very economical due to the strict federal fuel economy regulations being phased in by 2016. The engine should be smaller, more efficient modern direct injected turbo charge four cylinder power plant.
A smaller and lighter model will reduce the vehicles weight and thus fuel economy will be evident.

The French company Peugeot has realized and decided that change in design direction is already needed. They are even focusing in changing their branding system of their models also, changing from their usual style naming that uses numbers like “zero” or “double zero”. Using the RCZ brand name promotes more distinction and uniqueness which is Peugeot’s goal on their new and up and coming models. They decided to start applying these changes with their newly released coupe car model the Peugeot RCZ, even though it was just released recently, rumors are already starting to spread that a newer version is at the works. Peugeot is doing this to cope up with the fast and ever changing trend that the automotive world demand and need. It is believed that the said company is planning to unveil it in 2 years time and this would surely be presented at the ever anticipated 2012 Paris Auto Show. Actual details and data regarding the newer version are still few at the moment, making the automotive world and the company’s followers anticipating and more excited.

Some sources say that Peugeot is considering their Peugeot SR1 and Peugeot HR1 concept cars as reference in designing the new RCZ. Peugeot probably will be focusing on a major facelift on the RCZ, basically a bigger and more distinctive front grille. The newer version is believed to be wearing the same design principle on its fascia as the Peugeot 308.

Regarding engine choices, some details were released. With the top model of the Peugeot RCZ, for an exciting and dynamic new driving experience, a new THP 1.6 liter engine that produces 147 kW and 210 hp would be used. Another version would have a 2.2 liter HDi engine that would give 204 hp. And amazingly a hybrid model with all wheel drive option of the RCZ would also be available. Engine choices for this hybrid model would either be a 2.0 liter HDi engine producing 163 hp or a 1.6 liter THP engine that would give 156 hp.

Peugeot is not just focusing on just reinventing their car designs. Though the new models would surely be sportier and faster because of their new powerful engines and being lightweight in design, the French company is putting in consideration highly the environment by making their engines cleaner. With engines that only emit 139 g / km of CO2 emissions, Peugeot’s up and coming new model namely the RCZ, would truly be one of the best and sought after model in the coupe category.
