description
since the 1982 le baron convertible, chrysler has always included a convertible four-seater in its range / the tradition goes on with the sebring convertible, unveiled in november 2006 at the los angeles auto show, but it's also an innovation, as it's the brand's first production coupé/convertible / however, a soft-top version will be available too / chrysler is currently the only carmaker to offer such a choice, apart from mazda with its mx-5 / it will be interesting to see which version will become the most popular
with a length of 492 cm, the sebring convertible is the longest coupé/convertible available : thus it offers a roomy interior and a capacious trunk / the range includes three engines that are powerful enough to move this heavy vehicle, but astonishingly the base version sports only rear drum brakes / however, face to face with the competition, the biggest shortcoming of the sebring convertible is probably its uninspired stylingphotos
