Anyway...my point is, from the front, the new Sebring and the C class are similar yet the Sebring's styling is judged far more harshly than the bland Mercedes. I think Chrysler-hating explains the bulk of the differing reactions to similar designs.

Don't be a Sebring hater; be a Sebring appreciater!
