:? I'm undecided. It looks like a mix between a Mercedes and Saturn.

Hmm...

That may or may not be true. Its might be called the Stratus or the Avenger. We'll have to wait and see. :)

Yeah, it lost 2.5 cu ft of trunk room to the old Sebring. Thats sad, all they had to do was make it a few inches longer. The trunk room is only .6 cu ft bigger than our Neons. :? The exterior dimentions are within an inch of the old one though. Though it is taller as are all DCX's new vehicles.

I really don't like what it looks like from the outside. the interior is really nice and I love all the options it has in that category. They are trying to get 35-55 year old people to buy that car it said in the article. I personally would never buy it, doesn't look like anything new. I thought Chrysler would do a better job... 2 thumbs down for ugliness and unoriginalness. :lol:

Can we stop letting Mercedes Design our American cars.. jeez. This isnt Germany, Give us a Sport Compact Coupe or 2 seater and leave the European Design in Europe.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the name Stratus. The Stratus/Sebring as we know it now stopped production last month. The tooling was sold to a Russian company and they plan to produce a car similar to it for thier market. Right now, they are re-tooling to make the S/S replacements. The Stratus name may be used for the replacement, but we won't see that for 3 to 6 month. So, yes, the current Stratus car has been discontinued.

Id buy used though. I want a Chrysler 300C one day, and another neon. Just today I found a 01 steel blue plymouth....I want it :(

The rear looks like a Corrolla.

No, you all got it wrong. Its a 300PacificaIon(quad coupoe)Neon(4x4) with a hint of a blind designer and no focus group.

Sigh.....I hate Chrysler.
