Geneva motor show - Chrysler

What's the star of the stand?
The freshest thing on the Chrysler stand is the Sebring Cabriolet that goes on sale towards the end of this year for about £25,000.

It's been on show before, but this is the first time that it's touched down in Europe.

While the outgoing version of the car is a five-seater convertible, the newcomer will, like every other convertible on the market, only offer seating for four.

Also, unlike the old car, the new drop-top also features a hard roof rather than a soft-top. It folds away into the boot in less than 30 seconds.

Power comes from either a 189bhp 2.7-litre V6 petrol engine or a 2.0-litre turbodiesel. The petrol comes with a six-speed automatic gearbox as standard, while the diesel has a six-speed manual transmission.

Chrysler hasn't releases prices for the drop-top, but expect them to start at around £25,000.

Is that a 'For Sale' sign?
Well, Dieter Zetsche, ex-Chrysler boss and now DaimlerChrysler overlord, has said the company is looking at what it can do with the Chrysler brand to stop it losing so much money.

Zetsche says every option is being investigated, so that could include a demerger of the two companies and the sale of Chrysler.

General Motors is said to be interested in snapping up its fellow American brand -it's probably the only way it can prevent Toyota from overtaking it as the world's biggest car manufacturer.

Anything else?
Well, Chrysler could have brought the new Voyager MPV that goes on sale in the UK early next year, but decided not to. It was unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show in January and goes on sale in the US soon.
