Default RE: just backed out of my 08 am I crazy

I'm with everyone here. I really don't see this as a limited edition model. I see it as setting people up for an inferior vehicle and calling it limited. There are always going to be upgrades to a car when it comes out later, but this one we know that it's going to be out right away. Chyrsler wanted to make money on this vehicle rather then sitting and waiting for the stuff that they knew they had coming out like the engine and possibly a better interior.

Chrysler has Ford which has a three year jump on them when it comes to this market. They have the Camaro that is coming out shortly after. If they delayed this vehicle any longer, then I'm sure that they would lose more aduience to the Camaro. They didn't want to take that risk so they figured in order to get the heavy hitters out there, the people with some money to put down, they would bring out a "limited" edition, when in all reality it's just a recycled parts car that is about to become obsolete. The transmission isn't ready, manual, the engine isn't ready, they needed more time so this was their answer to it. I don't see it as a bad thing since it's a business decision, but it's definitely not something I am falling for.

For the people that this car is right up their alley, I'm happy for them, but for me I can wait. Hard, but I can do it. The way I see it, the Mustang was out for a year and then I was able to turn around and use the discount program I have through my company, and Charger was out for a while and then they put it on the family/business program also so I know that I can wait for this car to go there also. It kind of makes me feel good to know that I'm driving around in a car that cost me 1% above, or below I forget, invoice while there are other people out there that couldn't wait and have paid $20,000+ above MSRP. No disrespect for anyone out there that has decided to do this.
