Intrepidation

I can't see any of the pics...I wanna see what the car looks like Edit: W00t! I found some pics...and I gotta say the car looks great, much better than the Sebring. Very nicely done, and sorta like a mix between the old Stratus and the Charger. I love it, I don't even need to warm up to it's styling like I did the Charger

At least Toyota (and Mazda, Nissan, and Honda) can integrate their radios unlike GM, Ford, and Chrysler (sadly).

There's no excuse for that, Toyota's quality has really been going to $h! lately. It also means there's no safe way to buy a Camry, either egine/autobox combo will get you a $h!ty tansmission, hah. That guy should consider trading it for an Aura or new Sebring.

I'd like to know that too, cuz if you could get that leather with the metal, it'd look almost identical to the concept.

If there is one thing I gotta hand to Toyota and Honda it's how nice their center stacks looks because all of their newer models feature fully integrated controls. Nissan is doing it too, it'll be so great once Ford, GM, and Chrysler start doing it.

I think that's a great idea. I also think the Caliber should be offered with an automatic option, inaddition to manual and CVT, like what Ford does with the 500

For gray, the interior doesn't look too bad, especially with the turquoise and metallic trim, but I reallly wanna see the black/tan version. I agree with you on ditching the C-pillar thing, if they got rid of it, it'd look a lot better.

To name a few

That was broken grammar and so a bit confusing, but if a Magnum with more power in infinitly better looks can get better milage than a RAV 4...well than that's just pathetic

Why does everyone want to associate Pontiac with BMW? It's not, and should not be thought of as the "poor-man's Bimmer" It should be a sporty American car brand. Pontiac should not have an SUV. The Aztek and the Torrent were stupid ideas that do nothing more than water down the brand.

A more Details look at the Sebring http://www.dodgeboy.net/news/2007sebring/index.htm The All-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring — Chrysler Builds on Winning Formula, Creating Inspiration for the Mid-size Sedan Segment * Strikingly beautiful design with world-class interior craftsmanship * Purposeful technology that makes life easier and safer * Class-leading safety features * Exhilarating performance with excellent fuel efficiency Chelsea, Mich., Jun 22, 2006 - Chrysler is creating inspiration in the common car, introducing the 2007 Chrysler Sebring. An all-new mid-size sedan, Chrysler Sebring builds on the winning formula begun with the award-winning Chrysler 300 in the large car segment, and more recently, the all-new 2007 Dodge Caliber in the compact car segment. This formula combines stunning design with interior craftsmanship, high-levels of safety and reliability, exhilarating performance and excellent fuel efficiency, all at a surprisingly affordable price. Sebring also features many class-leading technologies not available in the mid-size segment. “The all-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring sustains the momentum started by the blockbuster hit Chrysler 300 and continued with the Dodge Caliber,” said George Murphy, Senior Vice President – Global Marketing. “Just as the 300 redefined the large-car segment and signaled the return of the great American car, Chrysler Sebring combines the levels of reliability and durability that mid-size buyers demand with unexpected levels of style, craftsmanship, technology and affordable performance.” The 2007 Chrysler Sebring appeals to buyers who appreciate style, practicality, safety and value. Sebring’s elegant and sophisticated design, packaged with interior craftsmanship, exciting new technologies and class-leading safety features, meet the needs of their busy lives. The 2007 Chrysler Sebring will be available in U.S. dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2006 and in global volume markets in the first half of 2007. Strikingly Beautiful Design Inspired by the 2003 Chrysler Airflite concept vehicle that was revealed at the Geneva motor show, the all-new Chrysler Sebring’s elegant lines evoke the exterior styling features of the Chrysler vehicle, bringing the Chrysler brand’s expressive design attributes to the mid-size segment. “Sleek and sophisticated, the Chrysler Sebring’s overall surfacing and details reflect the Chrysler brand’s four attributes: expressive, refined, athletic and passionate,” said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Design. “Sebring’s elegant styling provides a clear alternative to European and Japanese competition.” From the front, the Chrysler Sebring sedan features the distinctive face of the Chrysler brand, with the Chrysler signature grille, a uniquely sculptured hood, large, distinctive quad headlamps and available fog lamps. A long hood profile, chrome beltline molding and long roofline emulate a five-door appearance. High-gloss blackouts on the B-pillars enhance the length of the Sebring’s greenhouse. Sculptured character lines running along the body accentuate Sebring’s athletic stance. The expressive character of the vehicle continues at the rear where Sebring’s wide tail-lamps are integrated into both the rear quarters and extend into the deck lid for visual impact. Rear fog lamps mounted in the backup lamps maintain a uniform appearance between domestic and export vehicles. Chrysler Sebring Limited models for the U.S. market add chrome-tipped dual exhaust outlets to hint at the performance capability of the optional 3.5-liter V6 engine. World-class Craftsmanship The elegance found in Sebring’s exterior styling also runs through the vehicle’s interior, which features a modern, clean appearance with intense focus on quality, detail and execution. “Chrysler Sebring’s interior takes a different direction from many of the current mid-size sedans on the road. Its form is inspired by the Chrysler uplifted winged badge motif and incorporates new and fresh decorative elements,” Creed added. Sebring’s finely crafted interior features soft surfaces, mechanical grains and selective gloss levels on the interior surfaces. From the driver’s seat, Sebring’s H-point is 2.54 inches (64.6 mm) higher than the vehicle it replaces, giving drivers a command-of-the-road seating position. Standard 60/40 fold-flat rear seats make room for more gear, and an available fold-flat passenger seat creates a table-like surface to enhance the versatility of Sebring’s interior. All Chrysler Sebring models feature a two-tone interior color theme of dark and lighter shades of Pastel Slate Gray or Pastel Pebble Beige, which provides a spacious and well-appointed look. The Chrysler Sebring Limited model also features an exclusive two-tone Cream and Pebble Beige interior with leather seats. The Chrysler Sebring Limited’s available upscale accent materials and finishes include Tortoise Shell, Satin Silver, Alloy Silver and Chrome. Purposeful Technology that Makes Life Easier and Safer In addition to Sebring’s upscale design and elegant use of materials, this all-new sedan brings new levels of function and technology to the U.S. mid-size car segment. “Chrysler Sebring features a slew of new technologies not typically found or expected in a mid-size car,” said David Rooney, Director – Chrysler Marketing and Global Communications. “These features make life easier and safer for the driver and passengers, while making the overall driving experience much more enjoyable for all.” The 2007 Chrysler Sebring features a cutting-edge Harmon/Kardon information, entertainment and safety navigation audio system that raises the bar on in-vehicle communications. This best-in-class next-generation navigation radio features a 6.5-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Display with a touch-screen panel that can support 65,000 colors, providing a three-dimensional appearance to graphics and animation, as well as multiple font sizes and styles. The system follows voice-activated commands and includes many new features for music, sound, movies and personalized picture displays, including: * A 20 gigabyte hard disc drive that includes Music Juke Box for organizing music and pictures to the hard drive * Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides both MP3 connectivity and downloading of WMA, MP3 and JPEG files onto the hard drive * GraceNotes database installed on the hard disk drive, which provides song identification, including title, composer, artist and title * Playlist creation capability to provide easy access to files * Voice memo recording, which allows a message up to three-minutes long to be recorded using the microphone integrated into the rearview mirror * Radio screen, which can display movies when Sebring is stopped * SIRIUS® Satellite Radio, which provides customers with 100 channels of the best music, entertainment and information coast-to-coast, commercial free, 24 hours a day * UConnect™ Hands-free Communication uses Bluetooth® technology to provide voice-activated wireless communication between the occupants’ compatible cell phone and the vehicle’s onboard receiver. The hands-free option promotes safety, freedom, value and flexibility In addition to this cutting-edge navigation radio, the 2007 Chrysler Sebring also offers a unique combination of features not available on other mid-size competitors, including: * YES Essentials® stain-resistant, odor resistant, anti-static seat fabric * Available DVD rear-seat entertainment system that includes AM/FM stereo radio with MP3 capable CD/DVD Player, six-disc CD/DVD Changer and SIRIUS Satellite Digital Audio Radio (late availability) * Heated/cooled front cupholder for keeping cool beverages cool and hot beverages hot.

If the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle-theft security alarm, the remote also arms and disarms that system Sentry Key® Engine Immobilizer utilizes an engine key that has an embedded transponder with a preprogrammed security key code to shut the engine off after a few seconds if the correct key is not inserted. UConnect Hands-free Communication System uses Bluetoothtechnology to provide voice-activated wireless communication between the occupants’ compatible cell phone and the vehicle’s onboard receiver. The hands-free option promotes safety, freedom, value and flexibility Exhilarating Performance with Excellent Fuel Efficiency Three engine options power the 2007 Chrysler Sebring sold in the United States: the new 2.4-liter four-cylinder World Engine, a 2.7-liter V-6 engine and an available 3.5-liter V-6 engine coupled with a new six-speed automatic transaxle with Auto Stick that provides 0-60 mph performance to rival the best in the mid-size-car class. Sebring’s standard 2.4-liter World Engine with dual variable valve timing (VVT) rivals all four-cylinder engines in the mid-size-car segment with its combination of fuel economy and solid performance. Mated to a four-speed automatic transaxle, this new engine provides a 13 percent increase in horsepower (172 horsepower vs. 150 horsepower) and 4 percent improvement in fuel economy compared with the 2.4-liter engine it replaces. An available, enhanced 2.7-liter V-6 engine provides value- and performance-conscious consumers the power of a V-6 engine with a price that compares with the competitions’ four-cylinder engines. Chrysler Sebring's available 2.7-liter V-6 engine produces 190 horsepower and 190 lb.-ft. of torque, providing more low-end torque (at an rpm 850 lower) compared with the 2.7-liter engine it replaces. Chrysler Sebring sedans sold in the United States are also available with 3.5-liter V-6 engines that produce 235 horsepower and 232 lb.-ft. of torque coupled with a new six-speed automatic transaxle that comes standard with Auto Stick. The combination of the upgraded 3.5L V6 engine and six-speed automatic transaxle delivers excellent performance and fuel efficiency, as well as quiet operation. The 2007 Chrysler Sebring is one of the first Chrysler Group vehicles to offer the new six-speed automatic transaxle, which provides quicker standing-start acceleration than a four- or five-speed transaxle because of its numerically higher first gear ratio. A more robust differential with increased torque capacity enhances launch performance by requiring less torque management, electronically limiting the torque that is available during the initial stages of standing-start acceleration. Smaller steps between ratios also make for a smoother, quieter ride, as the engine speed doesn’t change as often with each shift. In addition, more ratio choices, more appropriate ratios for quicker acceleration and a lower overall top gear ratio provide a quieter ride and improved fuel economy at highway speeds. “The all-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring's performance is extremely competitive with the best in its class,” said Larry Lyons, Vice President – Front-wheel-drive Product Team. “Based on 0-60 mph acceleration tests, the Sebring Limited's performance, with its new 3.5-liter V-6 engine and six-speed automatic transaxle, rivals the leaders in the mid-size class.” For the first time in the mid-size car segment, the Chrysler Group also will offer a state-of-the-art 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine on the Chrysler Sebring for key diesel markets outside North America. The diesel engine will deliver excellent performance and fuel economy, with an estimated 140 horsepower DIN (103 kW) and 236 lb.-ft. (320 N•m) of torque. Elevating Expectations In the United States, Chrysler Sebring is designed to appeal to 35-55 year-old buyers who are married and have a median income of approximately $65,000. Fifty-five percent are female, and 60 percent are college educated. Many have small families with one or two children. These mid-size car buyers are down-to-earth and conservative, yet open-minded, self-confident and have a passion for life. Middle and upper-middle class, their lives are active, and they have a true sense of style. Their self image is grounded in their accomplishments and future prospects. Chryslers Sebring’s elegant and sophisticated design, packaged with interior craftsmanship and essential levels of reliability, meets the needs of customers who want more than just practicality in this competitive segment. Chrysler Sebring Model Lineup The 2007 Chrysler Sebring is available in the United States in three models: Chrysler Sebring, Chrysler Sebring Touring and Chrysler Sebring Limited. 2007 Chrysler Sebring Production Production of the 2007 Chrysler Sebring begins in the third quarter of 2006 at the newly refurbished Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich. The new 2.4-liter four-cylinder World Engine for this vehicle is built in the state-of-the art Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) plant in Dundee, Mich. The 2.7-liter V-6 engine and the 3.5-liter V-6 engines are built at the Kenosha Engine Plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Chrysler Brand Driven by award-winning new models, the Chrysler brand has seen a dramatic increase in sales, market share and brand image, culminating in 2005 calendar year sales of 649,293 units – an all-time sales record. Since 1990, Chrysler brand sales have jumped 251 percent. No other American automotive brand has grown as much during the same time frame. “The Chrysler brand's succession of innovative product introductions continues to solidify the brand's standing as the leader in great design, purposeful technology and value,” said David Rooney, Director – Chrysler Marketing and Global Communications. “With the launch of the all-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring sedan and the 2007 Chrysler Aspen — the first-ever full-size SUV for the brand – the momentum is sure to continue,” he added. Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) The World Engine is a family of world-class four-cylinder engines produced by GEMA in Dundee, Mich., delivering an exceptional combination of quality, fuel efficiency, refinement and performance. GEMA is owned equally by DaimlerChrysler Corp., Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Hyundai Motor Company. By optimizing the three joint venture partners’ strengths, global economies of scale and the latest practices in flexible teams and machines, GEMA aims to set a new benchmark in engine plant productivity.

That makes a big difference

It kinda reminds me of a cross between a Civic and an Evo

The Stream looks nice, put that nose on the Civic and it mmight look pretty good.

I stopped using IE years ago, it's $h!, always crashes and is suseptible to viruses and trojans. I only use IE for the few sites that require it. Firefox is awesome, especially the window tabbing.

Trailblazer and it's clones > Durango? Yeah ok...on what planet. The with teh exception of maybe the 9x7, they have god aweful interiors, exteriors with odd proportions (especially as 7 seaters), sloppy handling and sloppy build quality. Not to mention it's a gear short. Anyway, defend to the death the GMT-900's are better, and I'll agree. But to say the Aspen is so much worse because of what it is, is just stupid. You also can't just say that it will have horrible build quality just because the pre 2007 Durangos do. If you've noticed on the Durango's refresh, it's build quality is much better than the older ones. For example the panel gaps between the bumpers are much smaller than they used to be. You can't base build quality on pictures, especially since in those pictures the build quality looks good. Materials are also something you can't make a complete judgement on by a picture. Go sit in one and poke around it, then if you say the materials and build quality is bad I'll be more inclined to believe you. The Aspen and Durango also get safety upgrades aswell as a hybrid (at least teh Durango) soon, so they'll be competetive. Aspen certainly won't set sales on fire, but it will attract it's own set of buyers. It doesnt have to be a runaway sales success and I doubt Chrysler expects it to be. But it gives people who are looking at a Durango another option. And one last thing. I'm defending this thing not because I'm a Chrysler fan, but because most of you guys are knocking this thing like it's some sort of horrible sin and that no other company has done something like this before. That's BS and you all know it. I think the GMT-900s are better, but I don't think the Aspen and Durango are the pieces of $h! you make them out to be either.

Man...if you could just order the Sebring without that fake window cutout it'd help the look a lot.

It's funny how much you guys knock this thing, but when you think about it...all the 2007 GMC Yukon is, is a Tahoe with a different nose and tail lights...and OMG guess what?! That sounds suspiciously like what the Aspen is...a Durango with different nose and Tail lights (and hood), although the Aspen went a step further and at least tried to upgrade/change the look of the interior, which happens to look pretty nice IMO. Build quality looks better than the old Durangos too. This thing exists so that people who may not want a Durango because of some styling cues may want this instead, which seems pretty reasonable to me. Don't forget that GM is the king of shoving a new grill on SUVs (and cars) and calling them a different car. Torrent, G5, anyone?

One other thing about the Aspen's "cheap interior".

Personally I prefer the Aspen's interior to the Durango's...they do have differences unless you are to blind or stupid to see them. The biggest improvement is the fact that the gauge cluster's dhas shade (i dunno the technical name for it) no longer goes halfway across the dash, I've hated that about Dodge interiors for some time. Also the fake wood (I doubt it's real) in teh Aspen looks better, and the brushed metal on the center stack in nice. -- As for teh Sebring, I've liked the interior since I first saw it. The exterior I've been unsure of, but the picture they took actually makes itlook pretty good.

Now I agreee with the Sebring but I think the Caliber looks great, way better than most small cars.

The differences are subtle but they make the car look better. I've always liked the new, though my girlfriend hates them.

Edit: Nevermind, you're right, it is just a mule.
