The Chrysler Sebring was a mid-size car sold from 1995-2010. Over its 15 years of production, the Sebring went through three different generations, each attempting to improve sales with no success. Many believed the Sebring was just mediocre, even in its preferred convertible variant with three different tops. Power for the Sebring comes from a choice of three engines: A 2.4L I-4 producing 173hp and 166 lb-ft of torque, a 2.7L V6 engine delivering 186hp and 191 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.5L V6 pushing out 235hp and 232 lb-ft of torque. All engines are mated to either a 4- or 6-speed automatic transmission. Sebring replacement will be built on shared platform?
 
The Chrysler Sebring and the Dodge Avenger have long been a disappointment to Chrysler. As it comes time to change them, Chrysler is looking to replace the mid-sizers with a quality product in the least expensive way possible. There are three ways to go with the future cars, but all will likely ditch the Mitsubishi platform the twins are based on now. First option is for Chrysler to develop its own new platform. The second idea is to use either Fiat’s premium platform, or Nissan’s midsize (Altima), with distinct sheetmetal. The third option is using more than just the platform, and include the Fiat or Nissan firewall, A-pillar and windshield, kind of like Volkswagen’s new Routan minivan, based on the Chrysler minivans. In the end it’s likely that there will be less products to choose from as Chrysler well drop the four-door Sebring from the line up. What do you think? What is the best move for Chrysler to make the Sebring more successful?

Oups! Tom LaSorda, Chrysler’s CEO got upset after Consumer Reports made their evaluation over the Sebring and the Dodge Nitro.

Top 10 Hardtop Convertibles for 2007
Metal-roofed convertibles are sturdier, safer, and offer better handling and a dramatically quieter ride than any ragtop. They are sexy, unsafe, pricey, cramped, and eminently unsuitable for families. As a result, many prospective car buyers just glance at them longingly in the showroom before driving off in a minivan or crossover. But safety is increasingly less of a factor. That’s because these days auto makers offer convertibles with the sensuality of a ragtop and the solidity of a (...) > Full story
