no cost AWD on the 300 and charger.......maybe chrysler is starting to 'get it'......

[Robert Hall]

Interesting..so the Ram brand is officially a separate brand from Dodge for MY '10? I know it had been discussed in the 5 yr plan, but this makes it sound 'official'..

[A Horse With No Name]

Still a pretty dismal month for Chryco.
