Hybrid 300 Limited/Hemi , manual option, new interior for MY08?

The source does sound sketchy, but FWIW...

-300C Hemi Hybrid: 24-28 city and 33-36 Highway
-300 Limited Hybrid: 27 - 30 city and 37-40 hwy
-Refreshning in MY08 - better interior
-Manual option on non-hybrid 300s.
Allpar.com
300forums.com

I'm not sure about the manual unless they redo the floor pans. From people talking on allpar in the past, they said that a manual would not fit. Then again, this would show up about the same time as the Challenger is suppose to. I guess we will have to watch and wait.

Well, DCX has sourced a manual for the up and coming Challenger, so I could see why now that they have done all the work for a manual on the Challenger, why they would try to run one in the LX cars, since it is probably going to be a pretty similar setup.

And BMW and Mercedes lux cars also using the same system.

WOw I really don't see GM having any hybrid V8's in RWD cars by MY 2008. Very smart move by Chrysler.
