Default new sebring

Does anyone out there think the new sebring looks like a 4 door crossfire. Same hood and rims? Are they using up leftover parts?

The Crossfire hood strakes and additional styling cues are carried over to many new Chrysler's ( Sebring, Pacifica & Aspen). Wait until you see the new Sebring convertible.

That definitely looks better then the coupe - I'd consider checking it out at the dealer. Would not buy one after my experience with the Sebring LTD I owned...

But thankfully, the resemblance to our cars seems to be so nominal that we remain a unique looking car. *phew* Personally, I say let DC carry on the hood design to their other models - we started the trend. And well, we get the last laugh, right?

I just think it stinks even copying the wheels. I'm on vacation in Florida and you have to do a double take when you see one. I believe it cheapens our rides. Only my opinion.

to me the only part that looks like a crossfire is the hood.

Actually, I'd bet money that the overall chassis and body shape is carried over from a Mercedes-Benz. Look closely at the profile and compare it to say a 2004 Sebring. The hood is WAY shorter and the tail is longer from the rear edge of the door. Stance is different too.

Just saw a new sebring commercial on TV. looks like they spent some money on it.
Great, now the public will know what the new sebring is and think our crossfires are the cheaper copies...lol.

Honestly, I just don't see that happening.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm betting it's still got some Illinois Mitsu' platform in it.

If you think that the Crossfire resembles the new Sebring... You need to stop smokin that stuff!

That's like saying the Camaro does look like the Corvette...

The underpinnings are supposed to be that of the current Outlander and upcoming EVO X, at least I read that somewhere.

Personally I like the Sebring and yes, the hood and grill are absolutely CROSSFIRE, no doubt about it! Even the headlights to a point and actually the pointy part would look great on our cars if it were possible.

Thanks Mike. My wife has been bugging me for a shot of the new Sebring Convertible since the new Chrysler Ion...oops...I mean Sebring Coupe was released. We have 2 Sebring convertibles in the household, and I can't even mention trading in my wife's for anything else. It's not a bad looking car, but I'll have to see more before deciding if she'll go for it. She fell in love with the Sebring Convertible the way I did with the Crossfire Roadster.

But, it gives you the back seat you so much desire.
