Remember the Chrysler Airflite concept car?

Crossfire styling details on a four door hardtop/hatchback family car. It worked surprisingly well. Chrysler has been very successful in the past translating concepts into production cars. Too bad their attempt at using Crossfire/Airflite styling details on the new Sebring is so awkward looking. I mean, what's up with all the panel seams and clunky door/window frames cluttering up the roof line? If they couldn't make a real hardtop like the show car couldn't they have used frameless door glass like Subaru or at least small "blacked out" window channels like VW and Mazda cars ?

These "mid-segment" sedans are really important to car makers. I have no need of such a vehicle but, as a Crossfire owner, it pains me to see styling details so obviously derived from my car applied in such an artless, clumsy fashion to a vehicle sold in such high volume. I know it sound snobbish but it reflects poorly on my beloved little Crossfire.
