Garbage finds garbage. Current day Nissan + Current day Chrysler = Match made in heaven.

Chrysler Versa comes to South America.

Oh come on now... that's nothing more than a pot-shot at Chrysler. Who cares what they take and sell in South America?

There was an interesting suggestion I saw on Autoblog however... they should somehow work it out to bring the Renault Clio over here to the American market, especially the souped up version. Guess it could happen, Nissan and Renault are still in cahoots aren't they?

Chrysler and Nissan suck big time these days. Anything decent left in their lineup is from the recent past.

While I won't argue about Nissan simply because I don't care for them at all, not all of Chrysler's new models "suck." The new Sebring convertible is decent.. as is the new, all Jeep Liberty.

Regardless, they just got out from under the all-encompassing incompetence that is Diamler... it takes some time to turn such a big ship - just look at the General. At least they're making an honest go at it... whic his more than we can say about some other carmakers.

If not for the PT convertible, the Sebring 'vert' would be the most hideous new car without a top available in the US. The 1996 model was SO pretty.

Agreed. Every Sebring I see is disgusting. And the drivetrain is underwhelming, to say the least.

I like the look of the new Liberty but that's about it. The truckization of the entire Chrysler line because their trucks sell well is horrible. There is not a single new design since the 300 that I find appealing. Only gussied up SRT-8 Chargers are good looking. Every other product looks horrible.

Chrysler's new target market....

I recently looked at a Sebring to replace my Camry, and they aren't half bad looking vehicles. But I read sales are piss poor and Chrysler is going to re-phase most of their models within the next 2 years. It's unfortunate, because I like the Sebring along with with the Chrysler 300. Plus, the new Challenger looks sexy.

I'd rather have a Tata Nano Deluxe.

You must think the Big Mac is the world's greatest greatest burger.

"Hey! What kind of car is that??"
"Oh, it's my Tata Nano."

"Whut??"

LMFAO!! Sorry, but that's tragic.

The Chrysler Sebring. The vending machine version of White Castle burgers...

Actually, the Big Mac isn't half bad. Camry is best midsize sedan in the segment, at least I think. I love my Camry.

**Jesda** · #14 (**permalink**) 01-13-08, 11:28 AM

The 2007+ Camry suffers from body and interior inconsistencies. Not unusual to see uneven trunks or center consoles improperly installed. Then add to that the poor handling and funeral home interior. Camry SE is the exception. Older Camrys weren't fun, but were much better built.

As for Big Macs, I had one a couple nights ago. It suffices.

Agreed, I was very disappointed with the quality of the '07 Camry when I test drove one. A huge step down compared to my 2000 LE, but I do like the body. It makes an attempt to stand out on the road, ugly or not. I guess its the Toyota thing that attracts me so much; why, I have no idea. Mine just kinda blends into the road, which can be good since I speed a lot. If I was to buy an midsize bread and butter sedan, i would look hard at the Hyundai Sonata. Low price, lots of features, big warranty, and it is a very good driving car. But, I would rather drive a used Seville than any 'ol boring midsize car.

As for Big Mac, the last one I had sucked. It all depends on who's cooking it.
