The Chrysler Group has the whole RWD thing down to a tee, so the automotive community is very interested in
whether or not it can duplicate its success further up the frame. Enter these spy shots of a heavily camo’d 2007
Chrysler Sebring, which shows the new sedan wearing what looks like a Crossfire-esque front end complete with a ribbed
hood.
Inside Line is reporting
that the Sebring Coupe will be dropped when the new version begins production this fall. Hertz, Avis and Enterprise
will all be happy to know that the Sebring convertible is returning, though.
The new car will also be built
on a platform that shares parts with some Mitsubishi vehicles including the Lancer (yay!) and the Outlander (huh?). The
base engine will be the “World Engine” four-cylinder that’s also going in the Jeep Compass and Dodge
Caliber.
Will the new Sebring be the 300C of FWD sedans? Probably not, but it won’t have to try too
hard to eclipse the achievements of the outgoing model.
