i thought that GM specifically said that the "firebird" shown there was a photoshop, and they had no intention of bringing it back..?

davecpa

That blue Trans-Ams picture is has floating around for a couple of years.

Here's what I see, it all depends on what they do to determine sales and price. I have the experience in the Mustang department considering I owned both an 06 and 07. Ford saturated the market way to much and if Chrysler does the same thing, demand for the car is going to die really fast, at least for the first car brought out. People will wait until they can get this special one or that special one. Funny thing is, demand died faster then one would think. Rebates were already coming out for the 06 Mustang, 1 year later, and I was able to get my X-plan discount at the same time. They tried to feed me a line that they didn't know if they could give that to me or not, but in the end they ended up doing it.

For the first year we can expect to see gouging, but after that it's hard to say. The GT already start out at $25,840 and then you have rebates, who knows what they are going to do for the 08. It's going to be pretty stiff competition, but unless things change, Dodge has a tendency to be a little higher then the competition if you compare GT to R/T. Though it's more of a car, the R/T Charger starts at $31,315 with heavy discounts/rebates right now. More of a car, but is it really that much more? $6,000 more? If the Camaro and the Mustang are going to be around the same price and Dodge is going to keep their price that far off, I have a feeling that many people are going to be going to those two cars.

The main reason so much excitement has been created with the Mustang and Challenger is because they are RETRO, the Camaro does not fall into this catagory, it is rather UGLY at that! I would leave the Camaro out of the loop, it will not effect the Challenger price! As a matter of fact, the Mustang will be OLD NEWS and it too should not be much of a factor. I see the Challenger as standing alone!

This may be of only marginal significance when it comes to the price of the Challenger.

There's an ad in the paper here (in KC) from a dealership offering a new '07 Charger R/T for $23,995. They say MSRP is $32,055. Are the '08's out I take it?

wallstreetman

Once again, MSRP DOES NOT MATTER, THE DEALER CAN SELL A CAR FOR WHATEVER THEY WANT! Unless that Charger has 2 DOORS, it will not effect the Challenger, it's been out too long!

wallstreetman

Also, IMHO, a Viper will not effect the price of a Challenger, they will want the Challenger because it's retro. A few of you think that all people are looking at is performance, they want this car because you can look at it and say, NOW THATS A CHALLENGER! Still there are those who will want the most powerful Challenger made!

I haven't commented on this for some time now but to quote my Father God rest his soul " if you have to keep asking how much something cost, you most likely can not afford it".

Jeremiah 29:11

That is a classic saying Paladin06.

Thanks for reminding me about that saying and so true.

If there is not a V-6 on that car, I bet about a 3rd of the people on this forum will not be able to afford it.

But there is nothing wrong with dreaming. After all that is what we are currently doing.
