What is wrong with this picture?

If you have been here long enough you know how much I like the LeBaron Turbo GTCs. While on the fair island of Maui is saw three of these. I know they aren't badged because they are rental cars. Take a look at the picture below and see if you can tell what I am talking about:



If you can't tell what is wrong then I will tell you. This car is a Sebring convertible. This is the car that in 1996 replaced the LeBaron series. Now it has stolen the namesake of GTC. Why would Chrysler do this? If they were going to do this at least make the car live of to that reputation and give the car some balls, better handling and some better looks, and for hells sake give it a five speed manual!

I felt better since I did see some good cars while I was out there like a nice WRX STi, my guess is that is was a rental car as well. I saw a nice hopped up RX7 which I have pics of if you want to see them. There was also plenty of rice, I couldn’t even escape that on my vacation.

I recognize the car a Sebring (We rented on - diffrent color - when we were on Maui a few years ago). I don't get the badging though. Almost as sad as the Duster remake Plymoth did in the 90s that was a sad comparison to the original.

Doesn't mean it has to be slow up to 35.

The road up to Haleakala on Maui is amazing. Even my mom of all people got crazy on the way down in our rental malibu, it was sweet!

The road to Haleakala is amazing, also the road to Hana is about as twistie, more narrow, and even more spectacular.

Anyhow; here is the 7.



You can see some other pics of my trip to Maui in OT. I am off to make a thread there. They'll be up in about 30 min.
