DaimlerChrysler released information on the 2007 Chrysler Sebring today.? Here’s a run down on some of the surprising features.

• A 20 gigabyte hard disc drive that includes Music Juke Box for organizing music and pictures to the hard drive
• Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides both MP3 connectivity and downloading of WMA, MP3 and JPEG files onto the hard drive
• GraceNotes database installed on the hard disk drive, which provides song identification, including title, composer, artist and title
• Playlist creation capability to provide easy access to files
• Voice memo recording, which allows a message up to three-minutes long to be recorded using the microphone integrated into the rearview mirror
• Radio screen, which can display movies when Sebring is stopped
• Heated/cooled front cupholder for keeping cool beverages cool and hot beverages hot. Cupholder can heat beverage to 140 degrees F or cool to nearly freezing at 35 degrees F
• MP3 play capability
• Available fold-flat front passenger seat
• Cabin air-filtration system

So it has a nicer television, a bigger hard drive, and better stereo system than my in home equals.? It also has what amounts to a hotplate and a fridge as well as a flat folding front seat which can serve as a table.

With gas prices what they are, I thinking of getting one so the car itself can be the destination.

Mythical Lady Friend: So where are we going tonight? (as I open the back seat door for her.)

Me: I thought we’d have some dinner and catch a movie.

MLF: Sounds great.? What movie? (As I shut the rear passenger side door and climb into the front seat to grab a few DVDs from the convient center storage bin and hand them to her.)
Me:? (I pour her a bottle of wine from the icy cool cup holder before I start heating some water to cook up some raman noodles for dinner and climb into the back.) So what’d you decide on?? We need to start watching the movie soon, I’ve only got about two hours of battery life left.
