Default RE: Dodge predicts brisk sales for Challenger


ORIGINAL: RLSH700

I still think they can sell more than that, I think they would be wise to aim higher than that.
Agreed. Their sales projections may be "refreshingly realistic" and their "hockey-stick" shaped sales graph may be right, but I think they'd be closer to reality to double those starting numbers. I don't think 20K to 30K units will be enough to satisfy demand in the first year. In year two and three, as the new wears off, it may be too late to capitalize on the initial frenzy. Then the "trend-driven market segment" will move on to newer things.

I think they can sell at least 20K R/Ts and SRTs in the first year, and I think they'll match that with SEs. Well, if they build that many. [&:]
