Citing abysmal take rates of less than 1.5%, Chrysler is discontinuing the all-wheel-drive versions of the Dodge Avenger , Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Caliber beginning in 2009. Chrysler mentions lack of consumer interest and reduced fuel economy as prime reasons for dropping the option; Borg Warner, the AWD supplier, thinks Chrysler is jumping the gun, claiming that AWD penetration on small cars is...

In the course of a normal day we receive dozens of emails from readers who have questions about what we've written, praise for our prose or a desire to see us murdered in various ways for daring to impugn the good name of the Chrysler Sebring. It is therefore a special moment when an email actually catches us off guard. Today we received such an email from an individual whose family invested $1 million...

Hardly anyone who bought a Chrysler Sebring actually sprung for the all-wheel-drive option. Only .7% of Sebring buyers opted for AWD, likely because it jacks up the sticker price and decreases fuel economy. This has led Chrysler to announce that...

Filed under: Safety , Chrysler, LLC. , Dodge If you didn't know all-wheel drive was an available option for the Dodge Avenger, Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Caliber, you're not alone. Only 1.5% of Avenger buyers checked the AWD option box, and the Sebring take rate was an abysmal .7%. The Caliber fared only slightly better at 4.4% for the 2008 model, but that's not nearly enough to keep Chrysler from...

Back when we shared the tale of the Perodua Kelisa-driving holdup men , some commenters took issue with the claim that the cheap Malaysian subcompact was #1 on Jeremy Clarkson's Most Hated Cars list. Fair enough- Clarkson hates a lot of cars… but his loathing for the Chrysler Sebring convertible plumbs new depths of bile.
