Chrysler Sebring
It's not quite a scaled-down 300C, but Chrysler's Sebring shares many of the same design elements and much of that larger car's character. On sale in the first half of next year in Europe - including the UK - the Sebring will come with 2.0 and 2.4-litre petrol engines or a 2.0-litre diesel, as in its upcoming Dodge Avenger sister model (see separate story) and the smaller Dodge Caliber, with which it shares much of its underpinnings. A 2.7-litre V6 petrol engine will follow later.
With the Avenger taking on a muscle car hot-rod image, the Sebring is the more limo-like option. It'll come with "a cutting-edge information, entertainment and communication navigation audio system", heated/cooled cup holders and safety equipment including side curtain airbags and ESP. Two spec levels will be offered, Touring and Limited.
