Default More Production Rumors

Speaking of rumors, it's now been stated in several places- and I'm not sure where it originated, but I've heard it from multiple sources- that the Challenger is now supposedly NOT going to be available with a manual tranny? Anybody else heard this one? It's in direct contradiction to the initial production announcement, but I've heard it enough to make me worried.

I think that rumor is highly unlikely. Not when the concept is touted so highly as being a manual transmission muscle car. We'll have our choice of trannies I believe.

That is why I didn't even bother seeing what kind of deal I could get with the Charger R/T.

Relax all and let this thing run the process. I think we will most if not all be pleased at what comes off the line.

I truly hope that the rumors of the Challenger NOT having a 6 speed manual is WRONG...

However, IF it is true that DODGE looses there common sence and does not put a manual tranny in the Challenger, I DO hope that they will at a minimum, at LEAST put the AUTOSTICK tranny in it cause at least that would be better than no manual at all...

I thought that the 6-speed was supposed to be confirmed as well as a 6.1L HEMI.

That was what the original announcement stated..... but I've heard this, as an albeit unsubstantiated rumor so far, on several other sites.... so I just wanted to pass that along, and see what anyone else had heard.

Well I would tend to believe that the original announcement would be more reliable than what a few sites say. For example, when the Charger was supposed to come out, Edmunds claimed it would have a manual option. I believe it was either Motor Trend or Car and Driver who claim an SRT-8 model would NOT be made available on the Charger, and they were obviously wrong. Don't worry about it, it is probably just a rumor, in other words, a lie made up by someone who wanted some attention.

I would say let's just ride it out like Paladin06 suggested unless we hear something solid.
