The Sebring sells because it's like ten grand cheaper than any other convertible that's not a Miata.

A guy I know just bought a pile of poo poo Suzuki X-90 entirely based on it being a convertible.

I had a manager tell me that he was glad he didn't have kids so he could afford to have a sporty convertible. I asked, well, what kind of convertible is it? Sebring. Man I hope he didn't get the snip.

That thing really needs a radiator shield, one pebble or stick kicked up wrong and the owner is going to be watching a tow truck driver trying to decide what the gently caress he's supposed to do with this drat thing.

Fart Pipe posted:No doubt, there is a Murano convertible at one of the places I work at and I never thought I would see one in person. The Murano Crosscab is so close but still so far from being good. I'd love to see a convertible small SUV with actual offroad chops, like the Bronco or the Scout. (Yes, I love the Wrangler dearly, but I'd love to see some competition in that field.)

Aurune posted:PT Cruiser Convertible. Golf and Beetle convertibles have always sold well, and in someone's mind the PT Cruiser was the Chrysler equivalent of the Golf, therefore Also, as far as a convertible SUV with offroad, when you go off road in a convertible, you get dirt, leaves and crap all over your interior. The last thing you want is super-fancy insides that can't be hosed off.

It's a dedicated off-road/mud vehicle that is already very cheap, the cheapest on the market in fact. What kind of loving cashmere and velour interior were you expecting? If you're going to go buy a G-wagen because you don't like the interior well then Chrysler's probably OK with it. The secret to Chrysler/FIAT profitability is re-using the same touchscreen radio in every car.

I know the same stereo that's in my 2006 Saturn was used in drat near every 06-12 GM product that didn't have navigation but had a CD player - i.e. everything except work vehicles (the only difference is the Ion version got an orange display instead of cyan). Same stereo that was in my 01 Accord was used in every Accord/Civic/Prelude of the era. Ford does the same, AFAIK.

GM people were PISSED that Saab developed their own radios and nav systems, and still couldn't figure out why they kept losing money.

I had to create the training course to teach salesmen how to use those UConnects, so I'll always hate them for that reason. But, yeah, many car makers are sharing their dash/radio components across the board now.

Cheap to make them resist the rigors of trail riding doesn't make sense, my TJ's interior is dated now but never felt cheap the way the interior of every JK I've seen has. So much lovely molded plastic.

Also how do you gently caress your front plate up that bad and not have the plastic bumper just, you know, turn to loving dust? e: The more I look at this picture the more questions I have. It seriously looks like parts from 5 similar cars that were in the same wreck were swapped onto a perfectly good car and then covered in duct tape. Those wet spots on the pavement under all that 'handiwork' look fresh, too, but I don't think there are any fluid lines anywhere near the bumper on that Ac'.  double edit: Holy poo poo even the A-pillar is tweaked Jesus gently caress (and the mud spray on the side is a nice touch...)

I think it's all from the same car, just the fender got pushed back by the collision and then caved in when the door lip grabbed it the next time it was opened.

I just noticed the window is open. How bad was the smell? I've noticed hoarders' houses range from 'slightly skunky' to 'sticking a pound of ground beef under the sink in a small trashcan, adding a cup of water, leaving it covered for a month, then taking a huge sniff'.
