RE: New Edmunds Study: Declining Consumer Interest in V8s
its all in the media spin on things...this time next year the follow statement will be true...
"Demand for the 6.1L hemi powered Dodge Challenger is falling off at a dramatic rate...The rate of orders for the 6.1L hemi has dropped from 100% in early 2008 to xx% today."
Please remember that these types of stories come from the same media that has told us all the things we have since learned to be untrue about the Challenger..I watched a guy from Motor Trend TV taping a segment immediately after the press intro in Chicago and he said there would be 9000 '08 models built! Where did that number come from???
To sum up my feelings, chicken little would have convinced a lot more people that the sky was falling if he had talked to a reporter first!!!!
