And the All-New 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid takes that a step further with its two-mode system that integrates a hybrid-electric drive system which reduces fuel consumption by almost 54%.

2009 Chrysler Sebring loses hood strakes - The Chrysler Sebring has been a major league disappointment since its introduction in 2007, but execs at Chrysler headquarters have promised that a new, better midsize sedan is on the way.
With more standard features than the 2008 models, the 2009 Chrysler Sebring continues to improve its reputation.

The 2009 Chrysler Sebring Coupe LX is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 142-horsepower engine. The LXi is equipped with a standard 3.0-liter, V6, 200-horsepower engine that achieves 20-mpg in the city and 29-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional.
