Sorry, to clarify, the dealer in Canada said August 2008. As far as whether the announcement/commitment as to whether a convertible is to be made or not and the dealer taking my deposit - I really don't care. If the car is not made, I get my deposit back. If the car is made and it is the SRT-8 model with a big fat 6.4 Hemi in it, and is limited somewhat in production, then I will be first in line, get mine and get it at MSRP. OK it costs me a couple of bucks in interest lost bewteen now and 2009 on the deposit - but who cares, I would have spent it on something else anyway - like a couch or something. Trust me driving a Challenger Convertible over a couch wins every time.

I actually talked to a few dealers locally and ALL of them were willing to take deposits on the convertible. Trust me it will be made, if nothing else to compete with the 2009 Camaro convertible and the GT500 convertible. I actually had a deposit on the GT500 and pulled it recently becuase of the upcoming Challenger. Just hoping for selfish reasons that the Hemi Challenger is limited in production like the GT500.
