Sebring gets a new name

After three years of being the poster child for everything wrong at Chrysler, the Sebring is officially dead.

Despite your urge to rejoice, calm yourself, the 2011 Chrysler 200 is just a facelifted Sebring with a new name. While this doesn't sound good, the updated model features styling inspired by the 200C EV concept. Besides the improved aesthetics, the 200 has stiffened body mounts, a retuned suspension, and acoustic laminated glass for a quieter cabin.

The standard engine is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, but a 283 hp (211 kW / 287 PS) 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is available. The latter is connected exclusively to a six-speed automatic, where the four-cylinder comes with a four-speed unit (the six-speed auto is optional).

Scheduled to go on sale later this year, expect more information to be released shortly.

One can easily tell from the back end picture that there is nothing new about this "updated Sebring" but the ownership of such and ugly brand of cars. Chryslers needs concepts and then they need to follow those concepts because any model with a hue or hint of the Chrysler of yester-year will not be acceptable in 2011, the year in which the market will be fierce!

with the products they have, where every model is bad'n'ugly, it's amaizing they still produce and sell cars. The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee looks like only hope for the brighter future of the Chrysler Group

Had high hopes for the new GC but after sitting in one at the dealership decided I'd pass..until the SRT-8 comes out. Hopefully the raw performance should overshadow the overwhelmingly cheap interior.

How do they expect that changing the lights resolve any of the fundamental problems with this car. IMO they'd be better off starting from scratch.
