Default RE: Will they get it right? What do you think?


ORIGINAL: TeeWJay426

And I have a feeling you are certainly not alone. There's a lot of folks who would be sold on the style alone, that just don't want a high performance V8 or a 6-speed manual tranny. In fact, I'm sure that there are more people nowadays who would prefer the automatic, and will want the economy of an entry level engine, that would buy the car based on style alone. If DCX only makes it with a 6.4L 6-spped, they are ignoring too big a piece of the market.... a market that will otherwise be driving V6 powered Mustangs!!! Big mistake, IMHO.
He's not the only one, and you are right about the V6...
There, like wise, will be alot of people driving base model smaller V8 Mustangs too, meaning that there would be even more of the potiential buyers out there that Dodge will be loosing if they opt to make the Challenger a 6.1-Hemi V8, 6 speed mannual model only, and do not build a base 5.7-Hemi model, AND a V6 Challenger model....
