(autoinsidernews) - The Chrysler Group has unveiled its 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible ahead of the car's official debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible will be offered with different convertible tops: vinyl, cloth, or a body-color painted steel retractable hard top. All of the tops are hidden beneath a standard power hard tonneau cover and can be dropped with a push of a button on the key fob. The 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible is three inches longer than the sedan, and even with the hard top stowed, there's still enough room in the trunk to swallow two golf bags, reports Trend.
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 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible will be available with three different engine options: a standard 2.4L four-cylinder (173-hp) mated to a four-speed automatic, an available Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV) 2.7L V6 (189-hp and 191 lb.-ft. of torque) and an available 3.5L V6 engine (235-hp and 232 lb.-ft. of torque) mated to a new six-speed automatic with Auto Stick.
The 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible will be available in U.S. dealerships in the second quarter of 2007.
