Well, it looks like somebody is going to be buying the Chrysler Sebring. We just got a tip that GAZ has bought the rights to build a modified version of the last-gen car for sale in Europe. Along with manufacturing help from Magna Steyr and design and engineering work by UltraMotive, the new GAZ Siber will be a new-old Sebring for Siberia with a revised look and an upgraded suspension to better handle harsh winters. Additional info from our tipster tells us that the license and tooling for these cars were sold in April 2006 to Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska for about $151 million (€ 124 million). He’s the same guy who owns the GAZ company in Nizhny Novgorod, which builds the Volga automobile among other things. There’s a translated press release after the jump and here’s a link to the original Russian info for those who prefer it. Live shots in the gallery came from Auto.lenta.ru.
Thanks for the tip, Tverez!
