RE: Future Challenger..Chrystal Ball Time
My guess is each model year will have a retro color like B5 coming this spring... Maybe the Yellow, lime Green and Plum Crazy 2010, 2011, 2012. The new Phoenix 6 cyl is coming for 2010 and maybe a manual tranny for it. I would hope a light freshening of the interior and a better steering wheel too. They have already said a convertible is not going to happen.
I doubt this car will live past 2012 unfortunately as sales will probably go down since all of the pent up demand will be gone and gasoline prices will probably go back up to the $3.50 plus range. Also, throw in the the GM buyout idea. If GM buys Chrysler once the Challenger starts not making a profit it will most likely get put out to pasture as to not compete with the Camaro.

MoparOhio ,
I gotta agree with you on the gas ... the only reason it went back down is because stocks are down the shitter. Most people don't know that it shot up $2 a barrel yesterday .. and it's going to keep doing that once the market gets back steady which WILL eventually happen...
And there is no way GM would sell a Camaro and a Challenger. No way , won't happen ....

I think you will see a limited edition Challamaro with an LS3, 6 speed and a great big gold Bow Tie emblem on front of it.

I'm sure we will see some different colors/graphics options
I suspect we will see a Daytona with bigger spoiler, and mabye a shaker hood or something
I suspect we will see an SRT with functional hood and ram air, a go wing spoiler, and a touch more oomph squeezed out of the 6.1.
when the run comes to a close, I would like to see them go out with a bang and offer a v10 or 6.4 hemi SRT.
