Default Re: Measuring Up to the Competition

You'd have something I wouldn't buy. Never liked Chrysler products and don't today. I bought the AMG engine plain and simple. I like the outdated suspension just fine. It works for me. The rest I like, is the design of the body. This was outside of most of Chrysler thinking for the time, and they soon lost that designer who moved on. That is why I dislike the Sebring grille so much. It reminds me of a Chrysler. The car was designed body wise by a contracted design team, whom I am sure are all long gone, and built by contract at the Karmann plant. Some parts were provided by the old suspension of MB but not all, and certainly the engines. I'm not sure what both sides were thinking when they built this car, but I wouldn't want it any other way. It is what it is and won't be changed or built ever again by long gone owners... Karmann is done, and Chrysler has new owners, and MB laughed all the way to the bank with the profits.
