The next Dodge Avenger & Chrysler Sebring
Monday, July 20, 2009 12:03 PM



Chrysler is pondering a shakeup for its midsize-sedan lineup. The Dodge Avenger replacement would shift to rear-wheel drive, and the next Chrysler Sebring would be based on a Fiat platform in an effort to differentiate two cars that currently share the same underpinnings.
The Avenger replacement could be based on a modified Challenger platform, which itself is a modified version of the Charger and Chrysler 300 platform. The engine in the Avenger would be mounted longitudinally. The future Sebring would remain front-wheel drive, using a modified Fiat platform that will arrive in Europe on the Alfa Romeo Milano. Chrysler will decide on the strategy in August.
A dramatic shift for the Avenger and the Sebring could help spur sales, as the two sedans have been also-rans in the ultracompetitive segment compared with the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord and the Ford Fusion. I'll keep you all posted.

Aside from the hideous exterior of the current Sebring, the real major issue I found with those is lack of interior space for the size of the vehicle. The first time I got into one I was surprized at the aparent lack of room in it compared with what I expected based on the exterior size of the vehicle.

This change will sure as hell make Chrysler one of the top automakers.

Can't wait to see the new Sebring outsell the Accord or Camry!

I'm all excited about Chrysler now.

Just kidding.

LOL @ the above comments! Z24ownsmynissan especially.

The road apple doesn't fall far from the horses ass.

They gotta kick that Dodge styling if they want to have a chance. Goddamn.

The new Sebring looks somewhat respectable though.

They really need to step up their Quality. Seen a brand new Avenger the other day and the front bumper was all wavy below the headlights. I could understand if this was 1989 but a 2009 car should not have a bumper that fits that @!#$ty straight from the factory.

THey are both huge flaming piles of @!#$ right now. JUST more proof why not to buy domestic. The Fusion and Malibu walk @!#$ circles around these things. Then interior alone on the Avenger is a massive hideous cheap joke.
