| does anyone know when orders stop for the Chrysler 300 2005 models and when 2006 production starts. I'm asking because it was just about a year ago that the 2005 went into production - so will 2006 start soon, or not until the traditional August time frame? Also, if anyone knows how the '06's will be structured content-wise; apparently i'ts a Detroit mode of operation to decontent cars as they age, model-wise. | |
The '05 orders have already stopped. You can now order the '06. Only minoe differences like they are finally offering the TPS.

That sort of info is typically available (free) here: http://www.us.leaseplan.com/fleet_resources/fr_pnews.htm - Ray Not leasing right now . . |

Jeep, the protection group, which includes run flat tires, includes TPS because, of course, if the tires are run flat, a sensor is needed to advise if air pressure is lost. Where can I find the standard/optional features for the 2006 models? |
|
| I'm 99.999% sure that the protection group has the Conti self sealing tires, NOT any sort of run flat tires. The '05 "C" has the protection group as an option, as on mine, and the tires are self sealing. Sort of. | |
Anybody with experience with a 300 RWD in snowy/icy conditions? Does the traction control help enough to consider it without AWD?

Don't know, but Car and Driver did an interesting comparison a number of years ago among FWD, RWD, and AWD cars in snow. What they learned is that while AWD works best, and FWD better than RWD, the GREATEST determinant of traction isn't drive configuration, but tires. Cars with AWD and summer tires usually go nowhere in really bad conditions. Conversely, RWD cars with good winter tires will outperform other drive configurations without. Conti is evidently now making a high quality winter tire in stock 225/60/18. They're pricey, but Tire Rack has them. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tire- Model=ContiWinterContact+TS790+V&vehicleSearch=true&partnum=26VR8- TS790XL&fromCompare1=yes |
