[edit] Avenger
I was wondering. Since a new Dodge Avenger is coming out soon, should the Dodge Avenger have a seperate page? I think it should because not only the fact of its future production, but also the fact that a concept car was produced as well, and the concept car is totally different than the Sebring. --The Helper S
[edit] Housekeeping
Just passing through to do some minor housekeeping tasks, and noticed a couple of things. First, I tidie the images that were left-justified, as the text was getting squeezed into a fairly small space between the photos and infoboxes.
Also, isn't this the best-selling convertible in the world? I'm sure I read that somewhere... or at least, it has been in the past. I'd have thought that this was of sufficient note to gain a mention. Here's a source to cite if you need it: "'The old Sebring convertible was the world's best-selling open car' says Chrysler sales and marketing VP Joe Eberhardt, 2006 London Motor Show. --DeLarge 20:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Split off sedan
the sedan should be split off into Chrysler Sebring (sedan) to match the couple and convertible. This page then should be an overview page.

[edit] Update
Time for an update! Article still displays the 2001-2006 Chrysler Sebring at the top of the page. Come on now, two model years have passed since the current generation (2007-Present) began! Move it along and keep up with the Dodge Avenger page. Crazykrazyqrazy (talk) 18:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
There is stated that the Sebring /Avenger coupes were based on the Mitsubishi Eclipse . That for a fact is untrue . The chassis / underpinnings and suspension setup is that of the Mitsubishi Galant, Not the Eclipse . The Eagle Talon and is sibling was already direct derivatives of the Eclipse. The Galant platform and chassis was used with front bay architecture of the Galant VR-4 . This was chosen for the main facts that Chrysler wanted a coupe that would not be comparible in length to the already Mitsubishi Eclipse based Eagle Talon .etc. So teh Galants frame/platform was used to make a longer swooping coupe that would be bigger than the Talon . One thing was that that Mitsubishi had initially planned to use the 6G73 coupled to Auto F4A33 transmission , but Chrysler did not and wanted to use a version of their transmission as used previouslly on their vehicles equiped with the 6G72 Mitsubishi 3 liter V6. So the engine bay layout to that of the Galant VR-4 was used to mount the 6G73 2.5 V6 and be capable of using the Chrysler made transmission. Thus the match up was not great as for the Sebring and Avenger V6 had a very high transmission failure rate . The interior cues were also taken from the Galant . The center to trim panel and gauges to a near to identical shifter console layout . The center vents and bolster woodgrain panels are the same part numbers as the Galant , same for the gauges as used in Limited 1994 Galant GS coupled with DOCH and 5 speed manual transmission. The later Sebring Coupe was indeed a derivetive of the Eclipse but not the first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kongkit (talk • contribs) 18:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC) ~~Kongkit~~
On later Sebring Coupes and other models that utilized the Mitsubishi platform , egronomics and engine layout opted to use Mitsubishi's F4A51 transmission coupled to the larger 24v 6G72 engine to avoid the fiasco of transmission problems that plauged previous models.
