For me it's quite simple. I wouldn't even think about a 2008. Too much dealer markup and too many first year issues. I will wait til 2010 to see if they will build a convertible. I would love a Plum Crazy conv. with a white top,interior, and decals!!!! If not, I must have the 392 Hemi coupe. I am sure they will make one. They have to. And if there is a God, a 392 Hemi conv. But I doubt it.
