D1 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, April 4, 2001 Chrysler expands popular Sebring lineup Now that the Cirrus nameplate has been retired, Chrysler has expanded the Sebring line to include a fourdoor sedan as well as a two-door coupe and convertible. The completely reconstituted Sebring comes with a design that is in close kinship with the bigger Chrysler Concorde, particularly when it comes to the open-mouth grille. In back, the rear deck not only steals a page, but more like a whole chapter from the Intrepid. The sedan is produced in Michigan, while the coupe is produced at the same Normal, 111. assembly plant that makes Mitsubishis. Each body style gets its own distinctive base and optional engines. The LX sedan starts with a 2.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder that delivers 150 horsepower, while a 200-horsepower 2.7-litre DOHC V6 is available as stan dard fare in the Sebring LXi. On the coupe side, the Sebring LX runs with your choice of two Mitsubishi-built engines: a 2.4-litre S O H C 14 worth 147 horsepower in the LX, while power for the more luxurious LXi originates from a 3.0-litre SOHC V6 that pumps out 200 ponies. A four-speed automatic is the only transmission avail able except in the V6 coupe where a five-speed manual can be specified. You can also order Chrysler's AutoStick shifter on the V6-equipped coupes and sedans. With the new Sebrings in dealer showrooms, the battle for mid-size car supremacy is now hotter than ever. 2001 C h rysler Sebring Saturn offers ding-proof wagon After the introduction o f the mid-sized L-Series sedans and wagons last year, the lineup marches into 2001 with very few revisions. The fuel tank on all models increases to 60 litres from 50, and you can now order front and rear head curtain airbags sim ilar to those available on the smaller S-Series. Sized about the same as a Toyota Camry, the Opel Vectrabased L Series sedans and LW wagons are constructed using polymer body panels that ward off light bumps and dings from shopping carts, bikes and clumsy or inconsiderate door flingers. Powering the base model is a 137-horsepower 2.2-litre SOHC four-cylinder engine. Optional is a 3.0-litre DOHC V6 powerplant that delivers a respectable 182 horsepower. A fivespeed manual comes standard on the sedan, but is not avail able in the wagon. A four-speed automatic is optional. 2001 Saturn LW "That s the kind of financing that gets me all tingly." ~ L y d ia D v o ra k , Accountant and Saturn Owner A C C O U N TA N TS ARE N O T su p p o se d to g e t ex cited b y m u ch .
