2008 Chrysler 300C rolled out quietly {Autoblog}

Sep 19th 2007 3:37PM basically, The "regular" 300s now looks more like the HEMI powered 300C (300C headlamps, 300C tailights, etc).
Indeed a very minor MCE.
Perhaps that's why the next generation was moved up a year to 2010.

GM bringing new six-speed tranny to market in 2010 {Autoblog}

May 22nd 2007 10:08AM Too much emphasis these days are placed on the number of gears. You could always just get a CVT and have an INFINITE amount of gears. More gears means more parts and more POTENTIAL problems. For the average driver, the additional efficiencey that MIGHT be gained by going to 7 or 8 gears or more is so small that it's not worth the development and production costs. Give me a bulletproof 5 or 6 speed and lets all be on our way, anything more is mostly for marketing hype than anything.
