That gray interior just doesn't do it for me. I hope some other colors are available. Leave the Spartan interiors to Dodge.

Looks kinda like the mercedes cls from the front, and a toyota avalon from the back, but otherwise it's obviously a great change from the previous sebring models- and it's about time.
not sure about chrysler's obsession with shiny bling rims though.

Nice interior, but I'm a little worried that like the Caliber, this design is going to look dated as soon as you've seen the second one on the road. Those side flanks are busy, the front doesn't surprise, since you've seen it all over a Pacifica.. eh.. kinda weak to me. Nothing remotely timeless like a 300 here.

These pictures show a little more promise; I especially like the deep groove on the side. If Chrysler can make inroads into the midsize, front-wheel drive market, it will truely be an amazing accomplishment. I like what I see so far!

Blah, it looks kind a like a maxima in some ways, but not good ones. Although unlike many other cars it's the front that's ugly with a decent back end. I suspect it will look a lot better with a soft top.
That front end is just too passive, it has a Crossfire feel without the GRRRRR of the crossfire or the 300, which might be ok for the average buyer but it's no darling...

I loved that dash the first time I saw it on the Honda Accord.

Eh, it's not great, but what was anyone expecting? The previous Sebring and it's mild update were boring as all hell. At least this looks unique. It's a little classy in it's lines, the tail, and the shapes of the headlights and the grille, but those same characteristics have a sort of quirky feel to them that I just can't put my finger on.
Overall, I think it's an improvement over the previous generation (the interior looks very nice), and that, like Noah said, it will probably look better as a convertible.

Actually, I recant my previous comment of it looking like a cross between a C class Mercedes and 5-series--that's too flattering.
Looks like a Chevy Malibu with some Dodge Caliper fenders forced on. Seeing more pictures, it looks even worse.

i can really see the Mercedes influence in the overall design. The interior is VERY Crossfire, but I agree with some of the comments here, it does need some contrast. I wonder what other colors the interior will feature? I'd also like to see a full-on rear shot.
It has positives and negatives, no surprise there, but you have to admit it is MUCH better than the original Sebring. I think DCX is really going to sweep the domestic market in the next few years (or at least GM).

call me crazy, but I see a little bit of Subaru Impreza in the front..interior looks great, frankly I'm disappointed...I thought this new Sebring would look much better on the outside...the lines just don't flow properly..it just SCREAMS cheap...too bad considering the rest of the Chrysler line looks much more upscale than they really are

Overdone, bizarre, ill-proportioned styling- at least the previous Sebring was smooth and inoffensive. This Sebring looks way too much like the Saturn Ion, especially from the side. The hood looks especially ridiculous, and the interior is unattractive and disjointed, and like many Chrysler and Dodge-branded products the interior materials will probably be cheap and flimsy. I'm uncertain about this one...

Another reason why Toyota's in the big 3. Maybe Toyota's designers let DCX rummage through the old Camry trash bin for compensation (tails). You get the point.
Side note: Material choice in the interior seems very poor from that pic. Nothing tops the Caliber's B-PLR 1-way applique tape though. DCX will probably take pointers from Hyundai soon enough. Sad.

The Saturn L100 has returned with a vengeance!

It just needs a few more horizontal lines down the sides and a few more verticle lines arount the C pillar, and a foot or two more front overhang. Then it will be almost as ugly as Jeep's Compass.
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with Chrysler's styling studios. This thing does not have one attractive angle.
Barf.

the exterior looks like one of those chinese knock-off's of a mercedes... but at least the interior looks half-decent, almost passat-like.

Here's an interior you guys would be raving about.

Umm it seems like they went the way and stole the book on the saturn aura

Just what would prompt me to want one of these? (AND make payments for 5 years?)

Looks like the Saturn L200 with a view more sheetmetal grooves.

With a faster windshield rake and a rwd stance (no overhangs), the overall shape would look seriously hot! Which is probably what the designers intended. That being said there is a neat Americana feel to it, maybe its the tall butt, or the varying radius of the roof arc... but I too cant put a finger on it.
One thing i do like is the sheetmetal indent flowing from the front wheel arch. It must've been a hard fight to keep that detail. The rub strip absolutely spoils it however. A defining feature like that needs more harmonious elements, notice how the tailight doesnt meet up with it? Plus the wheelarches themselves are what gives you a sense of cheap -- their forms are fairly generic, especially in the rear.
