Look familiar?



Stumbled upon this pic and brief description...

This isn't the first time I've seen an old or discontinued model "recycled" at other factories. It's one way for the original manufacturer to make a few more bucks -- by selling all their old tooling & other model-specific equipment.

I'm pretty sure an old version of the Chrysler Sebring met the same fate - tooling & equipment sold to a Russian company.

Yup, known as the "Volga Siber": http://www.thecarconnection.com/news...rysler-sebring
