Kicking Tires also reports that 2009 Challengers will be available with a 380-hp, 5.7L HEMI V8 sporting cylinder deactivation technology, which we may see at the New York Auto Show in late March. A base model with a V6, however, seems unlikely to appear from what we hear.
If the Challenger doesn't offer a V-6, you better get it in '09 because I doubt it will be around to see the 2010 model year. There are simply too many factors working against a car with only a V-8 for it to be a success. And I don't mean just with us -- with the general public.
