Chrysler came up with a solution. They are killing the Sebring name. The car will not go out of production just to be clear but the Sebring will under go a major makeover to revive its appeal until a new member of the range arrive by 2013.

The refreshed Chrysler Sebring is expected to roll out on the 4th quarter of 2010. Experts expect that it will also be rebadged to don the 200 name. The car will also be restyled following the design lines of the 200C Concept EV during the 2009 Detroit Auto Show. The interior will also get a good upgrade.

It will be a totally different vehicle as it tears apart the old Sebring and releases a new animal. The official name of the new Chrysler vehicle is yet to be announced.

Buyers will have an option to add a dual clutch system or choose from a range of multiair engines that are fuel efficient.

The Dodge Avenge is also expected to get some update.

Chrysler has recently survived bankruptcy and is now under Fiat’s control. The viability plan also divulged insider information about future Fiat models to be produced once the Chrysler-Fiat alliance has been formalized. Therefore, it follows that Chrysler models will be undergoing major changes in the years to come.

For instance, the upcoming Alfa Romeo models are to be called the Milano, the 147 hatch replacement, and the Giulia, 159 successor. The 2010 Milano model is set for Europe this year, while the Giulia will enter the market in 2011.

According to Automotive News, Chrysler is deciding whether to come up with a brand new RWD sedan as a replacement for the Sebring and Dodge Avenger models that aren’t raking in enough sales. The candidates for the new model include a revamped Fiat D-Evo that is in the existing Alfa Romeo 159 model.

But according to reliable sources, the carmaker will probably use the LX RWD platform from the 200C electric car concept that was revealed at the Detroit Auto Show last January. They also added that borrowing several components can hasten the car’s production.

We still don’t know if the new RWD sedan will get the green light. However, Chrysler is really in need of a new midsize sedan model. On the other hand, the Sebring and Dodge Avenger models, both of which are being manufactured at the Sterling Heights plant, will cease production sometime at the end of 2010.
