How the fuck do they get away with this shit?

No freaking way a 3.6L 283hp v6 gets better or just as good mileage as most hybrids and diesel 4cyl.

Even Hyundai Elentra owners with the 1.8l aren't getting anything near the promised 42mpg, more like 32mpg highway, now Chrysler is advertising a car that will probably average about 20mpg at 42mpg highway.

The crooks fudging those numbers should be shot, this is blatantly scamming your customers.
 
c'est transport canada qui fait les test au pays ..en quoi Chrysler devrais etre tirer sellon tes dire mon cher ??
 
les test sont effectué en chambre fermé sans vent et a une vitesse de 90kmh soit dit en passant si tu roule 120 c'est TON problemme

In the US the manufacturers test their own cars, the EPA
Randomly selects a few makes and models but don't actually test every single car and motor. The Canadian rated fuel consumption for the same car is 6.8l per 100, or 34mpg US. There's definitely something funky going on here. And even at 90kmh constant throttle, no ac or anything, that car will NOT get anywhere near 42mpg. If it did Chrysler just came up with a technology that will revolutionize the automotive world, but they didn't.
 
Sur le site de transport Canada la 200 4 cyl fait 44 mpg
La V6 Pentastar fait............. 42 mpg


Avec le V6 elle est un FFV (véhicule a faible émission)

Donc ce n'est pas Chrysler qui a truqué ses tests...


Un bon setup est efficace.... Une Corvette avec un 6.2 litre sa peut faire 37 mpg...

je n'est jamais eu vraiment de misere a faire le meme mpg que les feuille de TP sur les auto en sale de montre ici ...

90kmh cruise control sur la 20 ou la 40 ...tu va voir environ 5% de plus que la feuille de TP dependament des condition routierre ...je suis aussi cappable de faire 15L/100km en yaris ou en echo sa depend de la conduite

Thanks for the lessons on fuel economy...

You know that everyone who buys that car is going to average 18-22mpg and at best 30
2-33mpg highway.

And you also don't seem to understand conversion rates of l per 100 to us and imperial mpg. 6.8l per 100 is actually 34mpg. Chrysler is advertising their fuel economy in the US as though it was the UK market.
 
Wards tested the 300C with the same motor as the 200 but with the 8 speed automatic and got 24mpg. That's great for the size, weight and power output, but quite a way from 42mpg, even if you shave off
A few hundred pounds.

et la shape de boite de kleenex du 300 rentre aussi en ligne de compte
 
It's pretty ridiculous when you think that for safety reasons, they will destroy half a dozen cars in crash tests but they can't, before hand, test them on a dyno for proper MPG rating as per EPA's new standards. You don't need wind, hills or whatever to conduct a realistic test on a programmed load inducing dyno...

Seems like your not the only one finding it fishy:

http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/12/2011-chrysler-200-conflicting-mpg.html

Even though the 2011 Chrysler 200 is set to debut in the U.S. at the end of January, many facts on the mid-size sedan remain unclear. The company hasn’t officially (…) released interior pictures yet, only a video, and mpg figures were also unknown. However, as some isolated reports about EPA ratings hit the internet today, we decided to investigate. We found out that Chrysler’s sedan won’t establish any records in the segment and that, ironically, the automaker can’t decide which is the correct EPA estimated mpg.

According to one page on Chrysler.com, the 200 sedan equipped with the 173 hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine returns 21/30 mpg city/highway, with both the 4-speed and 6-speed automatic transmissions. This is kind of strange to begin with, as you’d expect the more modern gearbox to have better numbers for the sake of marketing, if nothing else.

The yet-to-be-revealed 200 Convertible, fitted with the same four-pot and six-speed ‘box, is rated at an identical 21/30 mpg, which is hard to believe, as open top cars need extra structural strengthening, increasing weight and lowering fuel efficiency.

And as if that wasn't enough, in the “Compare Vehicle and Model Specifications” section, the 200 sedan with the 2.4-liter engine is said to return 20/31 mpg.

Either way, the 2.4L DOHC 16V Dual VVT finishes last when compared to the Toyota Camry (22/32 mpg), Honda Accord (23/33 mpg) and Hyundai Sonata (22/35 mpg).

With the 283 hp 3.6-liter V6 under the bonnet, the situation is a bit better, as the 19/29 mpg rating helps the Chrysler 200 and 200 Convertible rank above the Ford Fusion (18/27 mpg) and Chevrolet Malibu (17/26 mpg), but below the Toyota Camry (20/29 mpg).

Honda vien de perdre en cour contre une madame qui avais acheter un civic hybride car la consommation était peut importe les condition 1L plus élever que les chiffre de honda

Ils ont dit que sa ouvrai la porte a un recourt collectif
 
pour en avoir roulé pas mal de penstar dans des caravanes c'est asser fou l'économie d'essence qu'on peut faire avec ca.

j'ai facilement fait du 8L au 100 à 119 sur le cruise.
