Chrysler 300C delivers a commanding presence The full-size sedan offers power, grace and safety in a re-imagined package. â–
Chrysler’s flagship sedan, the 300, delivers luxury and performance, and its C trim adds swagger to the mix with power, grace and safety. Re-imagined in 2004 as homage to the Chrysler C300 of the 1950s that was the first modern American V-8-powered sedan to stampede out 300 horsepower, the 2013 Chrysler 300C I test drove, was outfitted with a 5.7-liter HEMI engine that produced 363 hp and took command of the highway as I put it through its paces. As Chrysler has priced its luxury flagship at about $35,000 for the C and under $30,000 for the base 300, the carbuilder has attempted to put elegance in the hands of the masses and has included a plethora of upscale items as standard. With its standard heatedleather front seats, Uconnect 8.4 with voice commands, unique platinum exterior accents including front grille, door handles, exterior mirror caps and fascia accents, the 300C provides its drivers and passengers with the comfort, safety, convenience and technology features of cars costing much more.
Standard features abound Other key standard equipment includes front-row reactive head restraints, advanced multi-stage air bags, full-length side-curtain air bags, seat-mounted sidethorax air bags, driver’s knee bag, rear head restraints in all positions, electronic stability control, Hill-start Assist, Rain Brake Support, Ready Alert Braking, tire-pressure monitoring, USB port with iPod control, SiriusXM Radio, SDcard reader, auxiliary audio input jack, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, six-speaker audio (upgraded on my test ride), Keyless Enter-N-Go, acoustic windshield and front-door glass, 12-way power driver’s seats including 4-way power lumbar, cruise control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, leather-wrapped Chrysler brand steering wheel with manual tilt/telescoping steering column, leather-wrapped shift knob, luxury floor mats, 140-mph LED-illuminated instrument cluster with full color and driver-selectable Electronic Vehicle Information Center, satin chrome interior door handles, LED-illu-

Turbo Taurus tops competition in fuel mileage
With a 22/32 mpg rating, the Taurus can travel nearly 450 miles on a single tank of gasoline. ■
by ANN M. JOB Associated Press
Don’t expect to find a four-cylinder engine in a big, roomy, 17-foot-long sedan? You’re not alone. These big, four-door cars traditionally have V-6s, with choice of optional V-8s. But in the interest of fuel economy, Ford is turning tradition on its head. For 2013, the automaker’s full-size and attractively restyled Taurus includes an optional, turbocharged, EcoBoost four cylinder that capably and impressively delivers 240 horsepower and 270 foot-pounds of torque. This turbo four cylinder, which also is direct injected, makes the Taurus the most fuel-efficient, gasolinepowered, non-hybrid, 2013 full-size sedan in the United States. The federal government fuel economy rating for this model is 22 miles per gallon in city driving and 32 mpg on the highway, with an estimated range of nearly 450 miles on a single tank of regular gasoline. This mileage rating rivals the pricier, 2013 MercedesBenz E350 Bluetec, which uses diesel fuel and is a smaller-size sedan than the Taurus. Also noteworthy: The 2013 Taurus earned acrossthe-board, five out of five stars for occupant protection in the government’s frontal and side crash tests. Starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $27,495 for a front-wheel drive, 2013 Taurus with the base engine, which is a 3.5liter V-6 that generates 288 horsepower. The lowest starting retail price of a Taurus with the EcoBoost four cylinder is $28,490. And the lowest starting MSRP, including destination charge, for an all-wheel drive, 2013 Taurus is $31,545.
The EcoBoost four cylinder is not available with allwheel drive. All 2013 Tauruses come with six-speed automatic transmissions, though the transmission mated to the EcoBoost motor is different than the one used with the V-6. And yes, there is a performance-oriented Taurus SHO model in 2013. It starts at $40,095. In contrast to SHO models from the past that had V-8s, the 2013 Taurus SHO comes only with a 365-horsepower, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V-6 and six-speed automatic. Competitors to the Taurus include other mainstream full-size sedans, such as the front-wheel drive, 2013 Chevrolet Impala, whose starting MSRP, including destination charge, is $26,685. The Impala comes with a 300-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 and automatic transmission and is rated by the government at 18/30 mpg. Meantime, the 2013 Chrysler 300 large, rearwh e e l d r ive se d a n h a s a starting retail price of $30,990 with 292-horsepower V-6 and eight-speed automatic. Its government fuel economy rating is 19/31 mpg. The 2013 Taurus is restyled on the outside, with new grille, lights, trunk lid, rear fenders and wheels updating the car with a fresh, more upscale appearance. But the new look doesn’t quite bring the Taurus to the same sporty styling “face” that the Ford Fusion, Focus and Fiesta have. Inside, cheap-looking plastic from the predecessor Taurus is replaced by nicerlooking, textured plastic. And every Taurus comes standard with interior ceiling fabric that’s made from recycled material and seat foam that is made from a soy-based rubber. Even Ford’s Sync system

It still takes time, however, to learn the Sync system and commands, and a driver can get distracted working the touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard. The EcoBoost engine really is the news. It costs only $995 more than the less fuel-efficient, base Taurus V-6 whose fuel economy rating is 19/29 mpg. Plenty of passengers traveled in the test Taurus SEL with optional EcoBoost, and none guessed the powerplant was a four-cylinder gasoline engine. The four-cylinder engine displacement is just 2 liters, but with dual overhead cams, direct injection and turbocharging, this EcoBoost four gets as much as it can from every gallon of gasoline. Indeed, the test car, which traveled 70 percent of the time in city traffic, was driven spiritedly and frequently carried passengers, averaged more than 22 mpg. Yet, the Taurus never lagged or seemed taxed. The car moved smoothly with traffic on city and highway

Chrysler to add jobs, invest $374M in Kokomo, Ind.
Chevrolet donates water-damaged cars for training
by TOM KRISHER Associated Press
KOKOMO, Ind. — Chrysler is investing millions in the Kokomo, Indiana, area as it shifts most of its vehicles to new transmissions that save fuel and better suit the driving habits of Americans. The automaker will invest nearly $400 million at four plants in the Kokomo, Ind., area, adding 1,250 jobs to what it says it the largest transmission factory complex in the world. The plants will make fuelefficient eight- and ninespeed automatic transmissions. Chrysler plans to use the new nine-speed transmission in key front-wheeldrive vehicles such as the Dodge Dart compact, which has lagged sales expectations. The transmission also will go into a new Chrysler 200 midsize sedan early next year and the Jeep Cherokee midsize SUV, which will replace the aging Jeep Liberty in the summer. It’s a big deal for Kokomo — and the economy of central Indiana — considering that the complex was in danger of being shut down just a few years ago. Kokomo will also add the Ram pickup, by far Chrysler’s top-selling vehicle, to the line-up of cars that it makes eight-speed transmissions for. The others are the Jeep Grand Cherokee large SUV and the Chrysler 300 big sedan. Most manufacturers rely on five- and six-speed transmissions to move their cars and trucks. But Chrysler and others are planning for more gears.
Generally, transmissions with more gears help cars and trucks get better mileage because engines always run at peak efficiency and don’t have to work as hard at highway speeds. They also allow cars to accelerate faster, which is a demand of American motorists. CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed Thursday that Chrysler will spend $162 million and add 850 new jobs at an unfinished Getrag Transmission plant in nearby Tipton. The company will spend another $212 million for new equipment and tooling at three other factories, creating up to 400 more jobs. Four years ago, as Chrysler was going through bankruptcy protection, the sprawling complex in Kokomo was in danger of closing, which would have had serious economic implications. Marchionne, who also is CEO of Italy’s Fiat Group SpA, said he remembers leaning toward buying transmissions from an outside company. “This would have been an economic hole right here in central Indiana,” said George Maus, president of one of the United Auto Workers locals in the city. But people in the company’s powertrain operations sold the CEO on keeping Kokomo open. Shortly after he started running Chrysler, Marchionne came to Kokomo to tell workers of the decision. But company sales were still bleak at the time. “When Sergio told us he was going to add 700 to 800 jobs, we thought he was crazy,” Maus recalled. Now his daughter has been hired at one of the
DETROIT — Chevrolet is donating 300 vehicles damaged by water during Superstorm Sandy for use in training first responders in Georgia. Detroit-based General Motors Co. announced Thursday that the cars, crossovers and SUVs would go to Guardian Centers in Perry, Ga. The vehicles are expected to help provide a realistic environment to simulate real-world incidents and natural disasters.

With the added jobs coming by early 2014, Chrysler will employ about 7,300 workers in the Kokomo area. The additional workers will start at $15.28 per hour, about half the wage of longtime UAW workers. Chrysler needs the extra factory capacity to handle growing sales. Its sales grew to 1.65 million last year from just over 931,000 in 2009. The company has added nearly 8,000 hourly jobs since leaving bankruptcy protection in 2009 and invested almost $5.2 billion in its U.S. factories. About $1.6 billion of that will have been spent in the Kokomo area. Marchionne also said Thursday that he would
prefer that Fiat buy the part of Chrysler it doesn’t own from a UAW health care trust for retirees. The other option is a public stock offering. Fiat now owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler, with the trust holding the rest. The trust wants cash to help pay retiree benefits, and both sides are sparring in court about the price. Fiat could use the 10 billion euros on its balance sheet to buy the trust’s stake, or it could borrow the money, Marchionne said. But the company also is preparing for a stock offering. “My preference is to be one single company,” he said. “We belong together.” Chrysler hopes the investments in Kokomo help the slow-selling Dart live up to expectations. It was unveiled with much fanfare at
the 2012 Detroit auto show, but only 25,000 were sold last year. Chrysler, owned by Italy’s Fiat, had touted the sleek compact as the perfect blend of aggressive American styling and Italian technology. It was supposed to be Chrysler’s first competitive compact since the 1990s. Marchionne said the company mistakenly equipped the Dart with transmissions and engines better suited to European drivers than Americans. He said the nine-speed transmission would be more suitable to U.S. drivers because the added gears will help the car shift more smoothly and accelerate faster. Dart sales did pick up in January, rising to more than 7,100. The car is built in Belvidere, Ill.
BERLIN — General Motors Co.’s Opel unit reached a deal with its employee council on Thursday to keep car production going at a troubled German plant until the end of 2016, after which it hopes to keep the site open as a components factory. The announcement followed long-running and sometimes rancorous negotiations on a turnaround plan for GM’s struggling European unit. A month ago, GM pressed for a deal by the end of February and warned that, if none was reached, car production at the Bochum plant would end two years earlier than previously planned, at the beginning of 2015. Opel said Thursday that Bochum can keep producing cars until the current Zafira model is phased out at the end of 2016. However, it said that, starting in this year’s second quarter, it plans to cut one of three daily shifts there. The company said it would offer severance packages and partial retirement programs to 700 employees. Associated Press

But the company also is preparing for a stock offering. “My preference is to be one single company,” he said. “We belong together.” Chrysler hopes the investments in Kokomo help the slow-selling Dart live up to expectations. It was unveiled with much fanfare at
the 2012 Detroit auto show, but only 25,000 were sold last year. Chrysler, owned by Italy’s Fiat, had touted the sleek compact as the perfect blend of aggressive American styling and Italian technology. It was supposed to be Chrysler’s first competitive compact since the 1990s. Marchionne said the company mistakenly equipped the Dart with transmissions and engines better suited to European drivers than Americans. He said the nine-speed transmission would be more suitable to U.S. drivers because the added gears will help the car shift more smoothly and accelerate faster. Dart sales did pick up in January, rising to more than 7,100. The car is built in Belvidere, Ill.
BERLIN — General Motors Co.’s Opel unit reached a deal with its employee council on Thursday to keep car production going at a troubled German plant until the end of 2016, after which it hopes to keep the site open as a components factory. The announcement followed long-running and sometimes rancorous negotiations on a turnaround plan for GM’s struggling European unit. A month ago, GM pressed for a deal by the end of February and warned that, if none was reached, car production at the Bochum plant would end two years earlier than previously planned, at the beginning of 2015. Opel said Thursday that Bochum can keep producing cars until the current Zafira model is phased out at the end of 2016. However, it said that, starting in this year’s second quarter, it plans to cut one of three daily shifts there. The company said it would offer severance packages and partial retirement programs to 700 employees. Associated Press
