We have a 2004 Sebring Convertible which we enjoy a lot. Since I have 2 teenagers we needed a convertible with the biggest back seat and that was a Sebring. I've been to my local dealer and sat in the new Sebring Convertible and it is NICE. You sit low in the older models (not as low as a XF) but you sit much higher in the new ones. We will probably end up getting one of the new ones but I will wait until I can buy one that is a year old. I'll let someone else take the first year depreciation, find out if there are any serious issues with the new model, and get a MaxiCare warranty to cover any problems should they arise. I have also parked one right next to my XF and the front ends are so similar (hood, lights, grill, etc.) that it looks like they just cloned the XF onto the front end of the new Sebring.
