Guest Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Saw one of these today: A bit awkward looking, yours from just £18K. Check the bonnet out! Not a lot to say other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I saw what I think was one of these two weeks ago, 08-plate in blue with white Viper Stripes and then I saw the CHRYSLER AVENGER badges what a f*cking stupid idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Excellent! Hopefully they'll relaunch the 180 next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Probably up there with Proton for "shitiest current manufacturer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross_K Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Looks like one of those Chinese knock-off shitboxes...God help any pedestrian who ends up on that bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 The Avenger has fantasticly poor quality interior, but superbly over engineered boot hinges. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I saw what I think was one of these two weeks ago, 08-plate in blue with white Viper Stripes and then I saw the CHRYSLER AVENGER badges Wonder if they'll make a two-door, with a half-length WHITE vinyl roof....I used to love those....But then, I was only about six!

r.welfare Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I saw at least three of those Sebrings today, on the same stretch of the A303. Dealer demonstrators no doubt. They look a bit like a previous-generation C-Class from dead-frontal, at a distance.Bloody awful things though, right up there with the Saabillac BLS for "most foolish thing you can get with your company lease allowance". I'd rather have a Chevrolet Epica. People with half a brain could get a Hyundai Sonata (which I reckon is actually styled very nicely), FFS.

Milford Cubicle Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I rate the Sonata too, reckon it looks pretty handsome compared to its rivals which seem to be trying to outdo each others ugliness.Is the Epica the one you can get with a transverse straight-6? GR8 4 PRETENDIN U R IN A WOLSELEY 2200 etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Are Chrysler and Mercedes the same company nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.welfare Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 No, M-B sold Chrysler last year to venture capitalists. I think the Sebring is just an update of the old Stratus, which goes back to 1993 or so. GR8 4 ROCK-HARD PLASTIC INTERIOR TRIM, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Ah, so they've been the same company then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcqueenmachine Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Isn't it the old Merc E Class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtd2000 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The Avenger has fantasticly poor quality interior, but superbly over engineered boot hinges. Really.True, but in all fairness when they sell these things in the USA they cost about tuppence by comparison to the "shaft-you-up-the-arse" UK/EU prices.. They cost less than a shitey UK/EU spec Daewoo/Proton (insert shite marque of choice) at the end of the day no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR8 4 PRETENDIN U R IN A WOLSELEY 2200 etcI was running around in the US spec Sonata in 2006/07 with the 3.4L V6 engine - and boy did it move!They still have a way to go with interior quality to match the Japanese but they are getting there very quickly...literally and metaphorically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
