Last Thursday DaimlerChrysler's Sterling Heights Assembly Plant ended production of the Dodge Stratus and Chrysler Sebring sedan and convertible when an Inferno Red Dodge Stratus rolled off the line. Since 2,000 a total of 1,308,123 vehicles have been built, and the SHAP is currently being retooled to become a flexible manufacturing facility. The new operation will handle the production of the next Dodge Stratus and Chrysler Sebring, the development of which Allpar has been chronicling extensively, as well as handle "cross-load" models from other plants, including the Dodge Caliber if it takes off and more production capacity is required.

I'm surprised they are already shutting down and retooling, usualy at least a concept of the car has been shown to the public before that, so far still all i've seen is spy shots with the front and rear covered.

 

Arent they still keeping a mid size car though? Theplant is still operating.(its about 3 miles from my house)

 

the new sebring comes out in fall, they show it in June. if they want to have there stuff ready for fall then they have to do it now. and I'm not gonna miss the stratus the one we have blows.

 

I would have to say they probably arent "gone" Just making a new one.

Me neither. They are uncomfortable and the powertrains are very outdated. Last weekend I had to take a 8 hour trip in the back seat of one with 4 other people. Which trim level do you guys have?
