Give it some softer springs and a Chevy nose and it'll rack up tenfold what it did as a Pontiac.

Ouch, I take that as an insult against my country's carmakers who at least try to make good looking cars.
Edit: Well, make or copy, but at least we base them on attractive-ish cars.

Sebring can actually look good dressed up:

Although, that said, a 100-year-old Sebring can also be of value.
As a warning from history.

As for the Sebring, I learned this last night. And, even scarier, this!

I'm actually surprised Mitsubishi still has a small pickup. I've not seen one, and even in TX, you'd likely have seen one...in a year's time.

I saw a Maybach the other day, parked next to me at the grocery store, and the three thoughts I had, in order of synaptic appearance, were:
1.) Don't they have "people" to do these sort of things for them?
2.) Oh, this one has the curtains in the back (I've only seen one other - it was not curtain-equipped).
3.) Meh.

We need a big convertible. Can I at least file for a last minute stay of execution?

Thought.
My mom had 2, loved 'em. I thought the ergonomics and visibility were shit, the engine made a lot of noise while achieving so little, and the handling would be moderately competent until it suddenly turned woefully inadequate.
I agree, though, that someone does need to offer a big drop-top. And I will point out that the Sebring did rear seat room very well for a convertible.

I do think the Galant needs to be put out of its misery. However, so do a few of those Chryslers!
Chrysler: Now more cars on Jalopnik's "Needs To Die" list than any other manufacturer*.
*If you include the Mitsubishi Raider.

When sorority girls are smart enough to avoid something, watch out.

Visibility be damned.
I've kept a 4g64 spyder in the garage for two years now, every time I take it out someone hits it (even though it's not moving) and then there's the deranged lunatics trying to steal it (the roof material is apparently slash proof) which leads to very expensive damage (because nobody is making parts anymore) add the incompetent repair personnel and facilities provided by the idiot sons of the the ONLY two Mitsubishi dealerships in town (same idiots own both locations, both trying to set the bar lower than the other), I don't think I will take it out this year either.
Damn it!

However, I'm going to come out and say it - though I will probably be banned from jalopnik for doing so - here it is: In base trim, the sebring is hardly any worse than the other domestics in the class. The interior materials in the chrysler are practically the same as those in the malibu (silver plastic, plasti-chrome, and that awful dashboard foam shit). Exterior styling comes down to personal preference, and I personally think the sebring was better looking than the previous-gen fusion. The platform it rides on is shared among many different vehicle brands (including mitsubishi, and hyundai), and in reality is not *that* bad - pretty comparable to many other cars in the segment - I prefer the ride quality over that of a new camry.
Now, I would never own one unless I practically got it for free, but it is ridiculous how it seems to be the butt of every car joke. I've been in many cars that not only did I think they were worse, but also more expensive. If you want to pick on the sebring, why don't you make fun of it's fat, ugly, partially-retarded brother instead; the Avenger.

"Why not a Lancer-based El Camino sport truck?"
Photoshopping this was better than directing a porno.
