CHRYSLER makes a comeback with restyled vehicles

Cadillac has most deÀnitely not lost its touch over the years. It still is GM’s most luxuri- ous brand, and it has recently added perfor- mance excellence to its reputation. Indeed, ever since the compact CTS model has been offered in the Cadillac line-up, the brand has sparked some interest in performance- oriented drivers. Nowadays, a CTS can be ordered as a comfortable sedan, a great-looking coupe, or a unique station-wagon, all powered by either the lively but thrifty V-6 with rear- or all-wheel drive or by an incredible V-conÀguration 556-horsepower V-8 with rear-wheel drive. Cadillacs are still available in the mid-sized STS sedan version, powered by a V-6 engine with rear- or all-wheel drive. The very impressive but traditional looking DTS sedan is still in the catalogue, with the same V-8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Expect its replacement in the not-so-distant future. Cadillac is also well-known for its SUV and CUV light vehicles, starting with the excit- ing SRX compact truck which is loosely based on the Chevrolet Equinox. Actually, it shares very little with the Equinox except its architecture and its 3.0-litre V-6 engine. The SRX can be front- or all-wheel drive. Finally, Cadillac still markets the mighty Escalade, a full-sized traditional SUV pow- ered by a V-8 engine. In certain models of Escalade, the V-8 can be combined with an electric motor to make a hybrid version. The Escalade still comes as a regular station- wagon shaped truck, an extended version called ESV, and the unique EXT, a Áexible pick-up styled SUV. CADILLAC is still GM’s most luxurious brand Cadillac remains GM’s top brand.

Like other car manufacturers in recent years, Chrysler has been through some challenging times. Fortunately, that is all behind us now and the brand, still a success in Canada, is making an interesting comeback with some heavily restyled and mechanically revised products. For 2011, Chrysler has come forward with three models, the Àrst a highly revised 300 sedan. The car has kept its basic body style, but the front end and many details and trims have been redesigned. The whole suspension and steering systems have been revised, and the 300 is now available with Chrysler’s lat- est Pentastar 264-horsepower V-6 engine, which provides more power with less fuel consumption. Obviously, the HEMI V-8 is still available, as is the all-wheel drive con- Àguration, although the standard remains the rear-wheel drive. We’ll have to kiss the Sebring good-bye: it has been replaced by the 200. While this mid-sized car has kept its original architec-

ture, the whole front-end and interior and exterior trims have been redesigned. The chassis, suspension, and steering have been highly improved, and while the 2.4-litre four- cylinder engine remains available, the new Pentastar V-6 has become an option. The convertible version is set to be introduced in spring. Finally, Chrysler has also revised its classy Town & Country minivan, all while keep- ing its original architecture and overall look. The only engine available with this model is the more powerful but quieter and more economical Pentastar V-6.
