IMHO, don't let the spectre of 1st year glitches prevent you from buying the 08 Challenger.

Personally, I've had great success with first year production vehicles. My 84 Pontiac STE (2nd yr prod.) was a fabuously reliable machine. My 93 Eagle Vision Tsi (1st yr prod.) was also very reliable with problems coming after 5 years of ownership. My 96 Dodge Caravan Sport (1st yr prod.) was the best minivan and we still love it after 11 years. Finally, my 04 Grand Prix GTP (1st yr prod.) has been troublefree for 177,000 km (110,000 miles) and I'm enjoying every minute.

In conclusion, I would NOT hesitate to purchase the 2008 Challenger (1st yr production). Secondly, I believe DCX will fix any problems that may crop up promptly. Thirdly, I want to enjoy it ASAP. Finally, there will be a certain cachet about owning the first year Challenger. I believe the Dodge fans will love to scoop up my 1st year Challenger when and IF I sell it.
