New Gen 300?

So I'm thinking about running up to my local Chrysler dealership and trading up my 05' 300 to an 08'. I really dig the 300 I am not interested in upgrading to a charger or challenger, although they are hot cars. With that said, is there a new design coming out that I don't know about? It looks to be that the 09's are the same style for the most part but is there going to be a drastic change coming soon? Maybe 2010 models? If so then I should probably just wait until it comes out.

I would wait until the early pics of the new style emerge. That way you can run out and get an '09 if the new one sucks.

I am scared that they are going to ruin it. It sounds like rear drive is safe... for now. I am sure that the windshield will have more rake and the nose will be a little more pointy for aerodynamics sake.

An interview with Gilles stated that the new design had a larger green house. Sad.

IMO, 2005-2008's are too similar. Since I own a 2005 I won't trade up until Chrysler makes a significant performance and/or interior change.

Thanks for the replies. I took the dive this weekend and traded in my 05' Touring for an 07' 'C'. It took me 7 hours to strip all my custom parts off!! I swap her in just a couple hours. Oh yeah I'm stoked right about now!!

Here's how it goes: Plymouth, then Dodge, and finally, Chrysler

What do you mean "upgrading" to a Charger or Challenger???? The 300C is top-of-the-line.

You bought used? How much did the swap cost?
