ASTON MARTIN DB9



A stunning exterior and beautiful coachwork mark the 2009 Aston Martin DB9 Volante. The standard 700-watt stereo system is good, and an available 1,000-watt Bang & Olufsen system is even better. A hard-drive-based navigation system works quickly, and the Bluetooth system shows cell phone contact lists.

The 2009 Chrysler 300 features a comfort-tuned suspension for the 300 Limited and 300C while the 300C Heritage offers the same performance steering, suspension and shocks as the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T for drivers look for a more sport-tuned suspension.

The 300C Heritage features a chromed grille and 20-inch chromed wheels, while the 300 LX receives standard 17-inch machined aluminum wheels.
