Maybe that's just your perception from not actually looking at one. Here is the Sebring interior. Nothing is really "straight-edge"ed except for the center vents and radio.

I would have to argue: YES....somewhat. The workers at "transplant" plants get alot of the benefits of being union members, without paying any of the dues. The very existence of the UAW forces the "transplant" companies to pay their workers a comparable wage, with comparable benefits. A UAW presence in "transplant" plants is just one simple vote away. The execs at Toyota have already announced that they plan on scaling back US factories, because it's "getting hard make a profit there". Yeah, like for over 100 years??

From the same article:

Japan's economy is doing "crappy", because it has been doing artificially good for so long, due to currency manipulation. Japan's economy died when they couldn't devalue their currency enough against the extremely weak dollar. Plus, the Chinese don't like to buy Japanese goods like us Americans do. We buy and buy, and expect nothing in return.

I have never been impressed with any rental car I've ever driven. They are usually base models with cheap interiors....and people tend to beat the ever-loving crap out of them. I can see why the Big 3 wanted to cut back on their rental fleet sales.

So....now Motor Trend is saying that the Chrysler Sebring isn't as bad as all the press made it out to be? Full Article: http://blogs.motortrend.com/6595321/new-cars/chrysler-sebring-pleasant-surprise/index.html Who would have thought a member of the press would admit to getting caught up in the hype of trashing "the worst car ever made", and then admitting that he might have been wrong?

How many American cars are sold in Japan? How many American automakers have gotten subsidies and incentives from the Japanese government to build their plants in Japan, to sell cars to the Japanese? The answer to the first question is hardly any. The answer to the second question is exactly ZERO. No wonder why the world's population thinks Americans are stupid.

Subaru Legacy and Outback, Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring new IIHS Top Safety Picks by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Aug 27th 2009 at 6:29PM Four 2010 model year vehicles have just been awarded Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety: Subaru's Outback and Legacy, the Dodge Avenger and Chrysler's Sebring. Top Safety Picks are given to those vehicles that come equipped with electronic stability control and receive front, side, and rear crash test ratings of 'Good' in IIHS testing. The Legacy has boasted a 'Good' rating for a few years now, while the all-new Outback takes the cake on its first try. The Sebring and Avenger continue their runs of 'Good' form in their current generations. [source: IIHS] Source article: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/27/subaru-...ler-sebring-ne/

What about: ? Those douches could be driving something other than stupid Priuses, and having a bunch of other copycat douches buying them because Angelina Jolie and Miley Cyrus drive them. I thought actors were in a union? Why don't they support other union members and buy and American car?

I don't think dealerships will have them yet. This was a "manufacturer's plate" car, with all kinds of connections coming out from under the back and passenger side. I think they said they would be available by "late summer".

The grille looked appropriately sized in person. It didn't have the red GMC badge applied to break it up though too.

I just a white Terrain today in person, and thought it looked great. I actually hated it in every other color than black just seeing it in pictures, but it looked good in person....even in white :

I don't think were trying to sell their current vehicle lines and brands. Chrysler has, in the past, sold machinery and tooling for last gen vehicles. See the Russian GAZ Siber (aka old Sebring): They were probably trying to sell things like the PT Cruiser tooling, or the Viper brand....and maybe even Plymouth or Eagle. For an auto enthusiast site, you people seem really clueless about Chrysler's bankruptcy. http://www.chryslerllc.com/en/news/

That first pic is not of the '05 interior. It's the same interior as the '08 you posted. The one pic you posted after this post is the pre-MCE ('05-'07) interior.

Aren't alot of manufacturers doing this with silver plastic? It must be the new thing to do.....not just the Korean thing to do: Lincoln MKX
