[smoove7410]

2010 redesign news sir?

[Frank Palmer]

Does anyone have any insight into any color changes for the 2009's yet? What stays or new colors? Thanks...

That's easy...

Stone white will continue to be dealer only
99% of V6s sold through dealers will be clear vanilla with chrome pillar mods
There will be a grey-ish silver color
Last year's heritage edition red is available for $225 on a base V6

I just saw a few 2008 models at the dealer with a Sirius antenna on the front of the roof above the front windshield. This makes it look like an afterthought!

Actually, the Sirius radio and AM/FM radio antennas are all included in the rear antenna. The AM/FM antenna is the fishing pole and the Sirius antenna is the base. The front antenna above the windshield is for Sirius Backseat TV.

Resume speed I need to tap your intell.
First just to confirm the new 5.7 with 370hp and 395 tq launches on the 09
The new push button start launches on the 09
The new internet in car starts in 09
The new complete interior starts in 09
And 09 is the last year of the current body style or with subtle changes.
Is all the above correct or what wrong or whats right.

Secondly,
Chrysler has stated that they are coming up with changes quicker when do you think we will see the new body since chrysler kinda needs a spark immediatly and from my intel they have the new body style already approved. So why not release it extra early. or at least let us see the complete new model at the 2009 det auto show.
