2008 Chrysler Sebring Review
The 2008 Chrysler Sebring lineup gains an all-wheel-drive sedan and a 2-door convertible. The new Sebring convertible comes with a power soft top and heated glass rear window and offers an optional power-retracting hard top.

Both body styles are available in LX, Touring, and Limited trims. All sedans and the LX convertible come with a 172-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine except for the new AWD Limited sedan, which has a 235-hp 3.5-liter V6. That engine is also standard on Limited convertibles and optional on front-drive Limited sedans. A 190-hp 2.7-liter V6 is standard on Touring convertibles, optional for Touring sedans. The 2.4 and 2.7 use a 4-speed automatic transmission, the 3.5 a 6-speed automatic. Available safety equipment includes ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags (on sedans), and front side airbags. Optional is a navigation system with digital-audio connectivity and a wireless cell phone link. It also includes Chrysler's MyGIG Multimedia, which has a 20-gigabyte hard drive that can hold music or picture files. Other options include a heated and cooled cupholder, remote engine start, and heated leather or cloth seats. Sedans are available with DVD entertainment.
Competition
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Midsize Cars represent the heart of the U.S. car market. Most are price-sensitive, conservatively designed, family oriented sedans and wagons.

Our Best Buys include Honda Accord and Kia Rondo. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Mazda 5, Mercury Milan, Nissan Altima, Saturn Aura, and Toyota Camry.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Chevrolet Malibu, Dodge Avenger, Honda Accord, and Mazda 5.

News
Look for redesigned 2008 Sebring convertibles in the first half of calendar '07. They'll share running gear with the new JS-platform '07 sedans, but will have lower, sleeker styling in the mold of Volvo's C70. Interestingly, Chrysler will offer both cloth-top and hideaway-hardtop models, with the former priced and equipped for budget-conscious buyers. We should have more details soon, so keep checking back with us.
