The Sebring is already the number one selling convertible in North America for many of the reasons that I have already mentioned, but if Chrysler could create a full-out sport version with 40-50 more horses, 17"-18" wheels and a little more aggressive styling, they could certainly cause many a BMW, Saab and Mercedes buyer to second-guess why they should spend close to double the money for a European ragtop.

All in all I really enjoyed my week behind the wheel of this car. Before spending more on an equivalently equipped but normally much smaller competitor, you should definitely consider driving the Sebring convertible.
