The Chrysler 100, which is supposed to be the smallest vehicle in the American manufactures' lineup, was spotted a few days ago driving around in Santa Monica.
Actually still an Alfa Romeo Giulietta-based mule, like the one seen in some spyshots last year, the hatchback was caught on video by an Autoblog reader Zach Dillman.
Official unveiling or release date are still a mystery, but we do know that the Chrysler 100 will be a Ford Focus-sized offering that, according to Fiat, is supposed to debunk the "myth about hatchbacks not being sellable in the US".
The future Fiat CUSW Dodge Dart platform-built Chrysler is said to come with four-cylinder engines and possibly a V6 powerplant for its range-topping models.
And by the way, at the end of the video there's also a supposedly Jeep Liberty mule. We don't know what's it doing on the streets, since the company went on to replace it with the Cherokee for 2015.
Watch Zach chase that Chrysler 100 mule through Santa Monica below:
