The 2017 Chrysler 100 will come as an all-new subcompact sedan, first in Chrysler’s lineup after more than 35 years. This could sound a little bit strange for you, but since Fiat took over this American corporation, we saw a plenty of interesting things, novelties, turnarounds and other. So, what to expect from this model? It will be a new compact sedan, which will be designed and developed jointly by Chrysler and Fiat. Since Italian company is an ultimate expert for small cars, seems pretty much expected that many design solutions will be borrowed from Fiat. New model is expected to come by the end of year.
