C6W is an Italian 2-seat, 2-door sports coupé with a removable roof section. Inspiration for the car was taken from the 1976 Tyrrell P34, which had two pairs of smaller front wheels, a principle applied to the C6W. The project was started in 1974 but abandoned shortly after, and left dormant into the 1980s due to the lack of availability of low-profile tires at the time. In 2003 the project was revived and in 2004 the C6W was shown in prototype form. In 2005 a slightly revised version debuted at the Salon International de l’Auto, featuring new wheels, new roof structure and a refreshed interior, and went into limited production of 6-8 cars per year, as a result of a tie-up between PMI and Covini Engineering.

The Chrysler Sebring has long been an interesting choice for a midsize vehicle. Debuting more than a decade ago, the Sebring has been one of the few mainstream-brand vehicles available to be offered as a coupe, sedan and convertible. For the most part, our editors were impressed with early versions of the Sebring thanks to their style and value, but more recently the car has lost its edge to fresher competitors.
Chrysler recently performed a full redesign in hopes of making the Sebring more desirable and competitive. It’s now available as a sedan and a convertible (with either a soft- or hardtop), and overall it’s a higher-quality car that’s more interesting to behold and roomier than its predecessor. It also has several engine choices, an extensive equipment list and advanced technology going for it. However, mediocre performance and cut-rate interior materials drop the Chrysler Sebring back in the pack among midsize cars in this price range. It’s still worth considering, particularly if you’re looking for an affordable hardtop convertible, but consumers should be aware that it’s one of many viable choices. Click here to read more.. »
