RE: Who has a 2008 Challenger on order?
I'm not blaming Chrysler for delaying things. They obviously want to make sure the car comes off the line in flawless condition. A mistake on a car that's been hyped up like this one could spell real bad news for Chrysler.
However, I also agree that due to the severe delay the '08 is probably becoming less appealing to buyers day-by-day. One of the main pulls about the '08 was getting it so much earlier than everyone else. That benefit is fading fast.
With the confirmation of Hemi Orange for the '09 SRT8 they're already lost several '08 buyers to '09s for price-reasons and for the 6-speed (myself included -- I pulled my deposit on an '08 for an '09)
I don't want Chrysler to rush the car out the door, but at the same time I'm seeing more and more people pulling their '08 deposts and going for an '09 instead.
