RE: Upcoming cars 2006-2009!
Here I did the hard work for you... Dodge and Jeep will be in Brand
Chrysler, Mercedes Future Vehicles
2006 Chrysler 300C SRT-8: Performance enthusiasts can look forward to this car’s arrival in spring 2005 boasting 85 more horses than the hot-selling, Hemi-powered 300C. The 425-horsepower, normally aspirated 6.1-liter Hemi is the highest specific-output engine ever offered by the Chrysler Group. Preliminary performance targets for the 300C SRT-8 are 0-60 mph in the low-5-second range and quarter-mile time in the high-13-second range. And bragging rights? Limitless. A complete package, the SRT-8 features dynamic and cosmetic enhancements, solidifying the return of the American muscle sedan.
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser: Facelift with a squarer front end.
2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser : New PT Cruiser look applied to the convertible.
2007 Chrysler Sebring : Midsize sedan and convertible developed on the Mitsubishi Lancer platform.
2007 Chrysler Town & Country : Redesign.
2008 Chrysler Pacifica : Redesign.
2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser : Redesign.
2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser: Redesigned on Mitsubishi Lancer platform.
2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class: Saying they will replace current E320 models in dealerships soon, Mercedes-Benz debuted a new 2006-model E350 sedan and wagon in Chicago. Powered by a new-generation 3.5-liter/268-horsepower V-6 engine that features four valves per cylinder and variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust valves, this also marks the first time Mercedes has used double overhead camshaft technology on its V-6 engines. The E350 sedan boasts a new seven-speed transmission which helps improve acceleration and also allows greater flexibility in adjusting shift points as needed for lower engine speeds (reducing fuel consumption and minimizing noise), skipping gears as required –- up to three gears at once when downshifting rapidly.
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class: Mercedes takes on the BMW M5 with the CLS55 AMG.
2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class: Mercedes removed the truck frame that underpinned the previous version and retuned the suspension for a more carlike ride with the all-new M-Class. While still recognizable as an M-Class, the longer, lower, wider 2006 model is clearly sleeker-looking and more in tune with the luxury and refinement buyers expect of a Mercedes passenger car. The five-seater will be available at its Spring 2005 launch with the company's new four-valve/cylinder DOHC 3.5-liter/268-horsepower V-6, as well as the carryover three-valve SOHC 5.0-liter/302-horse V-8. Safety improvements include active front head restraints, side curtain airbags, and the company's PreSafe system that cinches the belts down if it senses the onset of a collision. Off-roaders haven't been left out either with a two-speed four-wheel-drive transfer case being available, as well.

All new, more Benz-like
Mercedes-Benz's 1998 M-Class ended it all--the grouping of sport/utilities with pickup trucks for Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. In doing so, it helped launch our sport/ute category. The 1998-2005 M-Class is a body-on-frame SUV that competed with car-based Acura MDXs, BMW X5s, and Volvo XC90s. The all-new 2006 M-Class has plenty of the old model's design language, so you can instantly recognize what it is. But under the longer, lower, wider, and subtly modernized sheetmetal is an all-new unibody platform
2006 Mercedes-Benz R-Class: Filling the narrow gap between a wagon and the M-Class sport/ute is the Mercedes-Benz R-Class, a six-passenger crossover in the same spirit as the Chrysler Pacifica. The GST concept vehicle is rippling with Mercedes safety, performance, entertainment, and comfort technology, though we're most entranced with the 5.5-liter/360-horsepower AMG engine. On- and off-road adventures are aided by the electronically controlled 4-ETS four-wheel-drive system used in the M-Class and G-Class, Airmatic air suspension system, and high-pressure brake system.
2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class: Redesigned. Bigger than the current car, the new S will be available with all-wheel drive and a 6.3L V-8 with at least 500 hp. A twin-turbo 6.0L V-12 model will follow with full AMG treatment and 600+ horsepower.
2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK: Hot AMG model tops range with supercharged power reaching a reported 375 horses.
2007 Mercedes-Benz B-Class : Based on a stretched A-Class platform, the all-new B-Class will offered in U.S a year later than originally planned due to cost and currency issues. This five-door will supplant the C-Class coupe as the Mercedes entry point. With its unique space-saving layout that places the engine and transmission in front of and below the passenger cell, the compact 170.8-inches-long five-door has rear seat room that approaches that of the S-Class sedan. Four state-of-the-art four-cylinder gasoline engines will be offered worldwide in the B-Class with 95 to 193 horsepower on tap.
2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class : Redesign.
2007 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class : Redesign.
2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class : Freshening.
2007 Mercedes-Benz G-Class : Redesigned on platform shared with the all-new M-Class. Will go on sale in the spring.
2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class : Redesign.
2008 Mercedes-Benz MLK-Class : Mercedes-Benz is planning its response to the BMW X3. Running under the working title MLK-Class, the new smaller-than-ML-Class sport/utility will be built on the next-generation C-Class beginning in the 2007 calendar year.
