Chrysler is releasing a new version of their Sebring sedan pretty soon.

I mention it only becase of the cupholders. They can heat a drink to 140 degress or cool a drink to 35 degrees. Progress rolls onward.
It also has a hard drive and USB connection, it's like a big iPod with cupholders and a motor.
We're psyched about the Sebring's cupholders, however, which can cool drinks to 35 degrees F or heat them up to 140 degrees F. No more warm, flat Pepsi on road trips for us. Heated seats are also available as on option, but no cooling function for the posteriors.
I think it's funny they don't have the cooling function for the rear seats. Arguably, it's not a family car, but...
It's a mid-size sedan, very much family oriented. The kids just don't get cooled juice boxes, it's not fair.
I read it wrong. On reread, the bit I quoted seems to be talking about the seats themselves, which is still sort of weird that they'd bother to heat them, but not cool them. I did think it was talking about the drinks holders when I posted it, and couldn't figure out when kids would ever need drinks heated. Most kids I know even like their hot drinks luke warm.
I just read a Rock Star Spoiler for tonight's show:
One of the "bottom three" sings
Planet Earth
for their song.
Hee.
Whoot! My brother, who's been kind of struggling to find his next direction recently, just got accepted to do an MBA here: [link]
F2F in Paris!
brenda, that is awesome. Congrats to your brother. HEC is one of the best schools in France, and one of the top business schools in Europe.

Cooled seats sounds hard to do, to me.
I wonder how much the magic cupholders add to the MPG.
Yeah, imagine if a coolant line burst from plopping down too enthusiastically (ok I kept typoing that enthusiasstically. Snort. ) Very messy.
I'm getting on a plane in little over 48 hours. Stuff still left to do and I'm starting the pre-travel-calm-the-fuck-down battle.

Last week Nora 'updated my file' to allow it, so I will note that Saab has offered cooled seats for several years. I don't imagine that they are a very popular option in Sweden.
