If ever there was a model in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chrysler/">Chrysler</a> line up that needs updating, it's the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/sebring">Sebring</a>. While the car was a perfectly capable competitor when it debuted way back in 1995, subsequent generations have left it as nothing more than rental-fleet fodder. But if a report from <em>Automotive News</em> is to be believed, that may change significantly when the next iteration of the sedan debuts in 2013. According to AN, Fiat has its eyes on producing a new mid-sized four-door in Turin, Italy just for the Chrysler brand, with the new sedan being sold exclusively in the U.S.<br />
<br />
While it may no longer carry the Sebring name once it hits our shores, the car will likely be a spiritual successor to the company's Camry-fighter. Beyond that, details are scarce as to what will be under the hood, what gearboxes will be offered or how much it will cost.<br />
<br />
Fiat also made mention of the fact that starting in 2012, the company will build a new small sedan here in the Land of the Free that will be sold under the Chrysler banner. That may mean the company is looking toward sending the near unlovable <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/avenger">Dodge Avenger</a> out to pasture or eying a replacement for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/caliber">Dodge Caliber</a>. Either way, Chrysler is getting a much needed infusion of new metal sooner rather than later.<br />
