	Chrysler Sebring Review - Edmunds.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The current Chrysler Sebring sedan was redesigned for the 2007 model year.
		The original Sebring was launched in 1995 as Chrysler's new midsize coupe.
		Available in LX or LXi trim, the Sebring coupe came with a 163-hp, 2.5-liter V6 and a standard four-speed automatic.

	Feature Article - Engineering The LX - 04/04
		The base engine for the LX is the 190 hp 2.7-liter V6 found in the mid-size Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus.
		It should be emphasized that the LX was designed, engineered, and developed in America, with minimal reliance on the Mercedes parts bin.
		It is not a cost-constrained E-Class Mercedes with Chrysler or Dodge bodywork.

	Chrysler 300 - Wikicars
		This page is about the modern Chrysler 300, not the Chrysler 300 letter series cars of the 1950s and 1960s.
		The new 300C, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum all share the Chrysler LX platform, which features components derived from the discontinued Mercedes-Benz E-Class of 1996 to 2002.

		Chrysler at one time said they cannot do anything because they have not seen the problem happen and claim they have no idea what is causing Jeeps to suddenly shift from park to reverse on their own.
		Chrysler knew that latches appeared to be popping open even in low speed crashes and knew people were being killed, but covered up the problem even when it had a legal duty to disclose it so the company could keep its profits as high as possible.
		Chrysler used political influences to avoid having to issue a recall, burned all videotapes and written reports of crash tests involving impacts like the one Sergio's family's minivan was involved in, purged all computer codes showing component failures in those tests and destroyed computer data.

		Chrysler and its subsidaries are now part of the German based DaimlerChrysler AG after being purchased by Daimler-Benz in 1998.
		In desperation, the Chrysler Corporation on September 7, 1979 petitioned the United States government for $1 billion in loan guarantees to avoid bankruptcy.
		A return to rear wheel drive was announced, and in 2004, a new Chrysler 300 and a new Hemi V8 appeared and gave early indications of being a solid hit.

	the Chrysler 300C and 300 cars
		Chrysler is not meant to be going into the luxury market, according to Steve Bartoli (head of marketing and car planning), where it would compete with Mercedes - even though the LX looks like it will be better than the E-class.
		Evolving the design seen on the current Chrysler 300M, a four-gauge instrument cluster with chrome rims and a precision appearance are used in the 300C.
		The spaciousness of the Chrysler 300C is enhanced by the more upright windshield pillars and overall profile of the new exterior design, resulting in a seating position that is two-and-a-half inches higher than the current 300M.

	2004 Chrysler Concorde Prices and Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		Chrysler's full-size sedan got an early redesignation as a 2004 model but was unchanged except for option-group tweaks.
		The LX has a 200-hp 2.7-liter V6, the LXi a 234-hp 3.5-liter V6, the Limited a 250-hp 3.5.
		Built on a new "LX" platform that trades front-wheel drive for rear drive, the 300 is slightly shorter with a longer wheelbase and more conventional looks than the "cab forward" Concorde.

		The LX platform, from which the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum are produced, posted a record sales month with 30,241 units sold in February 2006, an increase over last year's sales of 17,913 units.
		Sales of Chrysler brand vehicles increased 3 percent with the company's flagship product, the Chrysler 300, setting a new sales record of 13,685 units, eclipsing the previous record of 13,475 units set in March 2005 and continuing its position as the dominant leader in the Luxury Full-Size Car segment.

	2007 Chrysler Sebring
		Chrysler said that the joint-venture Neon replacement will be the basis of the next-after-this-next-generation Sebring, Stratus, and Galant, which would be "stretch" versions - much as the Spirit (and Daytona, and Caravan, and Limousine, and LeBaron, etc.) was based on the Reliant.
		The 2006 Chrysler Sebring will probably be based on the modified Galant platform, with Chrysler taking the engineering lead on a redesign of that platform and other components.
		We had expected it to move to a shortened LX platform but that doesn't seem to be in the cards.

		Chrysler Group president and CEO Dieter Zetsche is determined to continue this trend in all his Chrysler products, with the flagship Letter Series cars leading the way.
		Incidentally, the new LX platform that the 300C rides on accepts an all-wheel drive setup, but it isn't expected at least at first.
		The 300C is long, lean and menacing, bound to cause a stir among the domestics and worthy enough to pull import drivers away from their trusty, but often mundanely predictable mid and full-size rides.

	IGN: Chrysler Imperial Concept
		The Imperial is a design exercise, so Chrysler is really eager to tell all who will listen that this sedan is "the new definition in luxury" and that it boasts "a classic coach-build profile in the roofline and silhouette".
		For those of you not hip to Chrysler's platform codes, the LX platform forms the underpinnings of vehicles such as the Dodge Magnum, Charger and Chrysler 300C.
		Moving on to the interior of the Imperial, Chrysler claims that every surface inside this luxury liner is wrapped in the finest materials known to man. The seats are covered in "supple leather and rich suede", the dash/armrests are covered in California burl wood and "metallic-like" bronze accents abound.

	Chrysler Future Products Update - Automotive News

		Chrysler has high hopes for the redesigned 2007 Sebring, which is based on the automaker's new fwd JS platform.
		Because the JS platform is derived from the GS, and lots of parts are shared among vehicles on the two platforms, a high level of flexibility has been engineered into the assembly process.

		However, short wheelbase versions of the LX no longer appear to be in the works, at least in the near term, though a coupe may now be planned.
		The LX was reportedly in full development swing when Chrysler was bought by Daimler-Benz in exchange for...well, it was reportedly in full swing, but the process was stopped to reengineer the LX to make use of Mercedes components and technologies.
		Chrysler devoted one of its parts plants to making five-speed automatics based on a Mercedes design, and the electronics architecture was switched to take advantage of Mercedes' experienced with stability control.

	Chrysler Extinguishes Firepower
		Chrysler Group is letting the flame go out on its Firepower concept, the Hemi-powered “grand tourer” that stoked performance ambitions for the auto maker’s core brand.
		To generate sufficient earnings from the Firepower, Chrysler would have been forced to charge “Viper money,” she says, referring to the 500-hp Dodge Viper SRT10 supercar that starts at $82,745.
		The Imperial concept is based on Chrysler’s LX platform, which also supports the Chrysler 300 sedan.

		Chrysler considered this a special feature: "Hidden hatchback versatility." The relatively large storage capacity of these vehicles was one major selling point.The Shadow and Sundance offered a variety of four cylinder engines, all either of 2.2 or 2.5 L, some turbocharged.
		While based on a platform which was new in the late 1980s, their styling, utility, reliable powertrains, and trim levels made them popular until they were discontinued.
		The Cirrus name was replaced by the Chrysler Sebring sedan, which is entirely different from the Mitsubishi-derived Sebring coupe and convertible.The Breeze, being the lower-end model, came standard with a 2.0 L SOHC 4-cylinder engine, with the option of a 2.4 L DOHC 4-cylinder engine.

	Chrysler Imperial Gets Royal Flush From CAW Plant
		The Feb. 19 vote, decided by a margin of 1,464 to 1,157, leaves Chrysler’s proposal “dead in the water,” warns Jerry Dias, national CAW representative at the Brampton plant.
		However, Chrysler is mum about the prospect of reviving the proposal, and about plans for building the Imperial, which debuted last year as a concept car at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
		The 300 shares Chrysler’s LX platform with the Dodge Charger sedan and Dodge Magnum cross/utility vehicle — all of which are assembled at Brampton.

	COMMENTARY: Chrysler: More Than Ram Tough - ForbesAutos.com
		Chrysler has other vehicles in mind that it might add to the plant, such as the Chrysler Imperial, a big luxury sedan.
		Chrysler’s problem is that it is going to be tough to expand its traditional pickup, minivan and SUV business.
		Chrysler probably could do more to expand its PT Cruiser line, which currently consists of a little wagon and a convertible.

		Answering critics who felt that the 4-door Charger wasn't faithful to its forebear by having four doors, Dodge has gone the retro route of the Mustang with a shape that is clearly inspired by the 1970 Challenger but with modern surfacing and wheels pushed out to the corners.
		The concept is built on the LX platform used by the Dodge Charger and Magnum, though with a 4.0-in.-shorter wheelbase.
		Word is that Chrysler is looking for additional capacity at another facility to expand LX output and, if the plan is given a go, the Challenger will most certainly be part of the mix.

		It gives birth to Chrysler 300 (the sedan), Dodge Magnum (the wagon) and probably a new age Dodge Charger in the future.
		The LX cars employ various parts from Mercedes E-class, such as the 5-speed automatic gearbox, the rear differential, ESP system, the double-wishbones front and 5-link rear suspensions.

	Chrysler Imperial concept - Auto Shows - Car and Driver - April 2006
		The large and in charge Chrysler Imperial concept gives us a clue as to how far the automaker can stretch the LX platform (Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger).
		In this case the wheelbase is stretched three inches over the Chrysler 300's 120-inch wheelbase, but the overall length spans 17 more inches than the 300.
		Chrysler claims to have been inspired by Imperial sedans of the 1930s and 1950s, but one look at the suicide-style doors and it's clear that the Rolls-Royce Phantom is where most of the design influence comes from.

		The LX platform is also the basis of the Dodge Magnum, the aggressive-looking station wagon Dodge showed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January.
		Chrysler expects the 300C to compete with smaller, entry-luxury sedans like the Cadillac CTS, Lincoln LS and Acura TL, Ridenour said.

	ROADandTRACK.com -- Road Tests - 2005 Chrysler 300C (5/2004)
		It's the third car, after the Crossfire and Pacifica, to bear the fruits of the Mercedes-Benz/Chrysler merger, and it's radically different from the François Castaing-era LH cars it replaces — to scratch the surface, this new LX platform is rear drive, and let's just say the cab-forward look is squarely in the rearview mirror.
		In my humble opinion, it's a very successful look, alluding to Chrysler's famed Letter Cars of the 1950s and 1960s without crossing over and becoming a caricature of them.
		Tortoise-shell plastic, another kitschy yet classy nod to the past, comprises the upper third of the wheel's rim and also adorns the door pulls and shift knob.
