Default RE: Redesign of the Challenger?


ORIGINAL: RoswellGrey

Unfortunately, all this speculation about the 2010 Challenger likely is moot if the report is true that a V-6 option isn't going to be offered.

Wow. That's the first time I've heard the "no V6" rumor. With all due respect, RoswellGrey, I don't buy it.

I did see this quote at autoblog:

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.

... But I take that to mean "unlikely to appear at the NY Auto Show."

I agree with you that, while WE may not want to purchase a V6, the Challenger needs that option to generate enough sales to guarantee longevity.

ResumeSpeed will be here soon to straighten us out!
