Default RE: Edmunds Report on 2008 Challenger Sales

Excellent reply. Thank you!
ORIGINAL: ResumeSpeed

In an earlier post I listed an exact pre-order number of 8,851 units as of December 20th. The following week orders surpassed the 9,000 barrier. The 10k barrier will be crossed soon. Some of the 2008 pre-orders, a number that is still to be determined, will be shifted over to 2009 models. I would count on ~7,500-10,000 2008 models being built for North America. Dealers will learn of their 2009 allocations and will start taking orders for them early this year. The 2009 production start is currently set for July 28th.
Since you show a 2009 production start date of July 28th, any idea what date the order banks open for those 2009 models?
Also, any idea of when the specs/trim levels and options for those 2009 models will be made available as well?
I'd really like to consider all of the options well before I go to the dealership with money in hand.

One last request - what can you share about the next generation 5.7L HEMI with VVT?
Thanks again.
