Default Chrysler 300/ Dodge Magnum info

Also in the March 22 Automotive News is info on the new Chrysler 300/Dodge Magnum cars.Interesting bits include:

- 'The 300 and Magnum share a 120 wheelbase, the longest of any Chrysler or Dodge since the late 1930s.'
-The HEMI versions of the car will get better Mileage than our PTs thanks to Cylinder Deactivation.'At constant speed, such as freeway driving, the system switches from 8 cylinders to 4 in 0.040 seconds.Coupled with the 5-speed automatic, the HEMI's fuel economy is rated at 25 HWY/ 17 CITY.'
-Only the 300 will offer HID headlamps.
- Load leveling shock absorbers offered only on the Magnum as some buyers are expected to use it to tow.
- About 20% of the platform's (LX) components come from the Mercedes Benz parts bin.
