2007 LX models: Features and Changes

[MrHappy]

Anywhere know when the actual builds of the 07's will begin? (Even ones without the new features, ie - 06's marked as 07's)

Thanks for the info......

However, I am still gathering information and it's possible one of more of these features would appear on the SRT8 versions. I would think the rear cam option for sure. I'll know a little more in the days and weeks ahead as I believe DCX is still finalizing some of the specs and options.

I am waiting for the 2007s to be available to order and then I am going to order one. I hope it will include the adaptive cruise control, the signal mirrors, surround sound, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, PADDLE SHIFTERS!! Let us know when you find out. Thanks in advance for the info.

Finalized order sheets will be released within a few weeks but unless they made some last-minutes changes only one of the features you mentioned will make it to the SRT8.

FWIW: I was checking carsdirect, and as of May 5, satellite radio, smoker's group, and adjustable pedals are all standard on the 300c. :\

Other than features, the looks of the car remain the same don't they?

Wow, if the above is true, wonder how much they are raising the price because that's about $400+ worth of options.
