Renamed Sebring, in an attempt to cast off the rental-car image that that model gained, and tying Chrysler’s mid-sizer to the successful 300. Hurriedly revised, but sold on the strength of an aspirational marketing campaign. Second-generation 200 more convincing and a far more thought-out rival to the Ford Fusion and the imports, but the market was against CD-segment sedans. Chrysler killed the 200 in favour of crossovers and Jeeps.
