All great points. You cannot expect to see Challenger gain instant market traction when compared to a car that remained in production for decades and, despite a couple recent design flops, now produces a pretty good looking Pony. The flip side of this which I think hurts the Mustang is overproduction and an overabundance of models. Long term they hold no special value because you will see too many on the road. If Challenger holds a 30-50k unit production level over the next few years we should get enough to keep the car affordable and few enough to retain its long term appeal.

While I love the car I am dubious of 100k units any time soon as someone mentioned in an earlier post.
