Chrysler Replaces Sebring with Nassau
With no relation to the Colosseum in Long Island (or is it Staten Island?) Chrysler-Fiat has announced they will drop the long running Sebring nameplate next year. Its replacement, Nassau. The Chrysler Nassau concept first appeared back at the 2007 NAIAS – aka the Detroit Auto Show.
Details are sketchy at best, but so far we know Chrysler’s Nassau will feature new exterior styling and an improved interior. The base 173 hp (129 kW / 175 PS) 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine will carry over, but the 235 hp (175 kW / 238 PS) 3.5-liter V6 will be replaced by the 280 hp (209 kW / 284 PS) 3.6-liter Pentastar V6.
The 2011 Nassau will be launched later this year, and is a welcomed upgrade to the Sebring platform. Once a popular 4-door sedan by the American auto maker, Sebring (and its twin Dodge Stratus) came under fire in their latest version – critics have bashed it for being poorly constructed and “ugly.” Poor Sebring, only trying to be a fine American automobile. Good night, sweet prince. We now welcome Nassau.
