6.4 coming in 2011
There is a Chrysler employee who is a member of a few other Mopar forums. His info is ALWAYS right, and he knows it long before anyone else on the forums. He knew the colors of the special edition Chargers, and the changes for the '08 and '09 model year Chargers, months before they were announced to the public. Anytime someone else on a forum argues with him and says they have different information, in the end they are wrong and he is right. So chances are the following information is correct:
Notes:
* This post will be continuously updated and/or corrected between now and until the 2010 models are released in the fall of 2009
