damn good pricing on the Sebring… I think it will sell extremely well, especially with all the options for the price.

Agreed. With those kind of prices, the Sebring will fit in nicely right below the 300. Hope it does good in the market.

What kind of power and transmission do the upper level Sebrings have?

3.5L V6 and a 6 speed auto, right?

3.5l V6 and 6 speed auto…
the 3.5 is rated around 240hp IIRC

Aspen “Crossover”? Wow, are Hummers now crossovers too?

Haudi… I missed that one. considering the aspen is BOF and SRA I think that crossover is far from the correct term.

Whatever the ugly Sebring costs its too much. I don’t think it will sell as people won’t want to be seen in it. 30k for a base Aspen? All I can say is good luck Chrysler, you got your wishful thinking hat on again I see.

jellyhead… your an idiot, to be simply put that is. 30k for a base aspen is cheaper than any other suv in it’s segment, and as for the sebring, read all the comments above. go buy GM products, your perhaps their last hope for existance…

Jellyhead stick to your crappy GM cars. Good deal for a good car i guess.

C’mon Chrysler! Go baby go, time to kick some GM tail out of the top spot once and for all!

GM cars? where’d you get that stupid idea from? The Aspen may be the cheapest in its segment but who would want one? Sebring looks like a dogs breakfast and if I want to keep my hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold I’ll buy a thermos

Like I said in a previous post, I wish the Aspen would get the 3.0 L V-6 Diesel that’ll also be available in the 2007 Grand Cherokee. I really love the design of the Aspen, it’s smooth and well-proportioned.

you obviously are not a designer if you think the Aspen is well proportioned

AND WHO ARE YOU A DESIGNER FOR?

Sebring concept was wonderful – what happened?

Aspen – hopefully this pig is a holdover until the real one turns up. I’m OK with badge engineering, but a duplicate of the homely Durango with an ugly uninspired grill? No thanks.

Chrysler’s streak has taken a (hopefully) brief hiatus.

I design buildings for rich people in Los Angeles.

a guess a guy named jellyhead would be real concerned over a car’s appearance

And your buildings relate to the aspen how?

If you said Honda, Renault, Ford, or any other AUTO manufacturer on the planet you might hold some weight. As is, I think building a lobby and a cubicle is a little different than building a car.

You know nothing of my background

I read somewhere that Chrysler wanted to break off a slice of the Escalade’s pie……that’s why they took the Durango design and tarted it up to Yukon Denali/Escalade levels…..

As for the Sebring, at least it doesn’t look like every other lemon shaped bar of soap on the road……..

I think I’ll get a Saturn Aura XR instead

why do people think the aspen is a full size? its a mid size, right? it cant be a full size. cuz the durango competes with the trail blazer and the explorer (which are mid sizes) not the tahoes and expiditions (which are full sizes. why dosnt dodge or chrysler have a full size SUV to compete with the tahoes and expiditions?

wow, you would get a saturn over a chrysler? retard

Sebring- I dont know what you’re all thinking, but its hideous, look at it, its a MESS of different design elements, Crossfire influence is ill proportionedand hideous in the front, the rear is just awkward, overall a truly ugly car. It will NOT sell compared to the simply great cars in the midsize sedan segement: the accord, camry, legacy, altima, mazda 6 , and the passat. this car will be forgotten.

Aspen- what was chrysler thinking? clone the durango, add some chrome and a gross front fascia, dabble the interior with fake wood and make it a mini bargain escalade? HAH. sorry, but this gas guzzling garbage heap should be thrown out with the sebring, the last thing we need is another big truck based suv on the market.

I may be a retard but at least I won’t be laughed at in this mess

Patrick is right on – end of discussion.

oh yea and toyota expects to sell 200,000 07 tundras in its frist year because it had a 5.7 v8 in the ugly fatass pos!

^^ Some anger there…

o quick, think of a good comeback. geez, you people make me sick.

Actually if it was a Toyota it wouldn’t look like a pile of **** on four wheels with lines carved all over it.

“deep down, you all prolly like this car”

lol keep telling yourself that.

Where are they naysayers of badge engineering that consistently criticize Ford on this board? The Aspen is, as mentioned above, a tarted up Durango which has odd proportions from the get go. This is not a competition to the Escalade/Yukon from a size perspective, cachet perspective, and brand value perspective. I see this simply as the Chrysler dealers clamoring for some type of non-car to sell that doesn’t have the “trail rated” manliness of their Jeep line (which is growing increasingly ugly, see Commander/Liberty/Compass).

A $30k price point would be good competition to the GM big SUV’s and that’s what Ford is trying with their Expedition, but I just don’t see the Aspen doing well in the marketplace.

On the other side, the Sebring looks like a rebadged Saturn ION and I can only hope for DCX’s sake that the two door convertible comes out well b/c that was it’s value from their old body style, a non-sporty good price point cabriolet… without that, this quickly goes into the “i drive a dodge stratus” category.

Schwanz: I’m sorry you feel that way. No, I’m not a designer, however, *I* like the SUV, and I don’t give a **** what some loser “building designer” tells me looks alright or not.

Well I’m not going to give you the name and address of my successful architect’s practice am I 1c3d0g? When you have spent 5 years in University studying to be an architect I will respect what you have to say about design. I said “building designer” instead of architect because I didn’t want to seem arrogant. I was at Art Center Pasadena with all the famous car designers, yes I still keep in touch with some of them. Yes! I feel qualified to comment on the design of products rather than just have an opinion about whether I like them or not.

And Chrysler has the worst looking designs on the market at the moment.

Well, then we’ll agree to disagree. B.t.w., what do *you* see as a good design, the Toy Ota Yaris?

You might has well have called yourself an architect Schwanz because every comment you have made on this board made you seem pretty darn arrogant to me. Especially the last comment “and Chrysler has the worst looking designs on the market at the moment” Compared to what? Would you care to elaborate on that comment? I’m just curious to know more about what you think since you are obviously more qualified to comment on the design of products than the rest of us here.

well, the sebring and the aspen turned out (so far) like every other DC product, love it or hate it. so, gentleman, lets just leave it at that. nobody needs to fight about anything. arguing on the internet is like running the special olympics, win or lose, your still retarded, so just give it a rest. please.
