shouldn't the first page be updated to reflect this?

[ricardo]

Can they add Bluetooth A2DP profile to U-Connect / MyGig to stream audio from phones to car's audio system without any wires?

[ricardo]

One more nice feature, if it does nto exist in MyGig yet. Recording of radio as on CTS. Imagine answering incoming call while you are listening to talk radio or have to distract for something else. Then you do not miss anything.

Of course, bigger hard drive will be helpful as well.

Hi Guys!!

Chrysler won't wait to improve its vehicles.

For example... an new all-wheel-drive system will be introduced on the 2009 Chrysler 300 and 2009 Dodge Charger that will get the same MPG's as their two-wheel-drive versions.

Click on THIS to read the rest of the story.

It will be interesting to see what all of this means.

Craig!!

the spyshot that everyone thinks is a new 300 is not. nissan teamed up with chrysler to build some of their cars at chrysler plants. this is probabley why people have seen this car leaving chrysler plants. chrysler cant completely redesign their best selling car and change it into a mid-sized sedan. im pretty sure its a nissan.

All that the article tells you is that there will be "a new AWD system". What they didn't tell you in the article is WHAT the new AWD system is... (drumroll)... it will consist of an active transfer case with a front axle disconnect feature, hence the mileage improvement.
