Looks like a decent adaptation of a classic. But it's a Dimestore-Chrysler vehicle. So no, I won't be buying one. Besides, I have my GTO and it's plenty fun.

I guess Im a sucker.. I have seriously looked at the "New Charger" and the Magnum and this spanky little challenger would be a lot of fun.. (I guess it's the old..Well I could buy a "real Hemi challenger" for 150 grand or this one for 30..

If it was available with a manual transmission, I'd sure consider it.

The next generation Camaro and GTO (same chassis coming out in '08 model year) should have a manual transmission. And they're sure to be much better than the previous generation all around.

the talk around the dealership is if this thing actually makes it into production ( if it does it's going to be a 2009 model year) that the price is going to be around $50-$60k :-|

well yea, but at the exponential rate the cost of new cars is rising 50 to 60 grand will be average..in 2009. I think it's a conspiracy.. New cars are almost too expensive to buy and gas for them is at a level that you either make the car payment or fill the tank.. (I think yugo is behind it. it may be the only way to sell those doorstops)

Mass production was SUPPOSED to result in ever-lower prices. The manufacturers have somehow turned the tables & twisted Henry Ford's original idea into a sucker's game. I think the major players have changed their industry into more like individual countries with themselves as dictators, reaping huge salaries & bonuses to cook the books (& force limits on wages & benefits due to the "meager" profits), & leave the stockholders with whatever is left. Take a look at the PC market, mass production success!!! I would rather keep my AMXs than buy a mass-produced, cookie cutter, whoopie-doo hemi pooch, anyway.

There's nothing "limited" about auto worker wages and benefits these days...

Goose

yea I would'nt call those wages and bennies Limited..

Maybe the lawsuit craze destroyed the mass production benefits, I don't know. It sure does work for the PC & chip industries!!!

If it came with a manual trans I would cash in my retirement! I had a chance to buy a 72 cuda 15 years ago in mint condition for 3 grand! boy I'm kicking myself now!
