LOS ANGELES - November 29, 2006: Chrysler is raising the roof on the
convertible segment, introducing the all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring
Convertible. This completely redesigned Sebring Convertible is built on the
company’s new D-segment platform and offers what no other convertible
on the road can offer: Chrysler’s sleek and elegant design,
exhilarating performance with excellent fuel efficiency, a spacious
interior that comfortably sits four adults and enough room in the trunk to
hold two golf bags, even when the top is dropped.
The all-new 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible also offers what no other
convertible has offered before — three automatically latching
convertible top options: vinyl, cloth and a first for this new 2008 Sebring
Convertible, a body-color painted steel retractable hard top, all of which
can be retracted with a push of a button on the key fob. Top that with a
standard power hard tonneau cover on all models, and top up or down,
Sebring Convertible provides the benefits of coupe and the true open-air
freedom of a convertible, all at a surprisingly affordable price.
“America’s favorite convertible is now better than
ever,” said George Murphy, Senior Vice President – Global
Marketing, Chrysler Group. “The all-new Chrysler Sebring Convertible
offers the unprecedented combination of unmistakable road presence,
athletic handling, innovative technologies, as well as plenty of room for
people and gear. In fact, the all-new Sebring Convertible is the only
convertible in the segment that can pass the two-golf-bag test. The
sky’s the limit on what this vehicle can accomplish in the
marketplace.”
The Chrysler Sebring Convertible has long held the honor of America's
favorite convertible, solidly leading the segment for the past decade. In
fact, Sebring Convertible has earned the title of best-selling convertible
in the United States for seven of the past 11 years. The 2008 Chrysler
Sebring Convertible is poised to reign supreme when it becomes available in
U.S. dealerships in the second quarter of 2007 and in global volume markets
in the second half of 2007.
In markets outside North America, Sebring Convertible will be the first
D-segment cabriolet for the Chrysler Group to offer both a diesel engine
and right-hand-drive availability, thereby equipping the vehicle to become
a stronger competitor in the segment.
