Sebring: Eos Inspired?

I sure think so.
As I’m flipping through a recent Motor Trend while awaiting a haircut (I was stoked they actually had a dude’s mag - I’m sick of People and Us) I encountered a write up on the 2007 Chrysler Sebring. Now, of course the Sebring has been around for a while as the brand’s sporty convertible and has enjoyed some decent success, and this was my first time laying eyes on the new model.
So imagine my surprise at some of the stylistic similarities that struck me immediately. First one, the Sebring sports a retractable roof just like the Eos. But what really got me was the headlights:
Notice some similarities? I sure did. Now, I heard about Chrysler and VW possibly working together on a minivan, but I’ve heard nothing about any collaboration on any other models. I’m not incredibly peeved about it, as car makers constantly rip each other off all the time. But it still sucks to see it happen. I attempted to find more angles in the 3 minutes I had to write this post, but Chrysler’s site is pretty lame. If you found any, please feel free to comment.

Wow. All this car is missing is the drop top. Something about the back windows also strikes me as being really similar, check it out on the chrysler site.
Meh - All I see are headlights and the shape of the grille are the only two things I can see that are same.
