Actually they did what they could. new front fascia, new fenders, revised rear, more would have been senseless since it is to be replaced in the next couple years. Anyways, you missing the true point, it's not about looks but quality of the vehicle and the drive. Along with those exterior changes, you get the 283 HP V6 with a 6 speed auto and 29 MPG highway (all considerably above the Malibu), a totally revised suspension where like 9X percent of the bushings have been replace along with different springs and shocks and a lower ride height. The interior is totally redone with soft much materials and a very upscale looks and feel. I have seen a few pictures of different Sebrings from the LA autoshow and the Chrysler pictures origionally released do NOT do this car justice! Besides you are basically concentrating on one model. Hell, they are even updating the compass so it looks good. The only real one of their refreshed 11s out right now are the Wrangler (MAJOR interior improvements but wait for th 12 model when it gets the Pentastar) and the Patriot, which is heads and tails above earlier models in build quality (and apparently it works because the local dealer sells everyone they are getting in very short order, some as soon as they get them in). Trust me, these refreshed and redesigned cars are going to be up there with GM at least, though I believe the Avnger/200 will have to wait until a complete redesign to be truly competitive with the Fusion.
Doesn't look too bad to me
