Not sure where you get your info from, but a car ordered is a car sold as far as LLC is concerned. If it sits on the lot, its due to dealer greed, not the economy. Therein, 09 production begins in ten days and the numbers made will reflect the number of orders. As far as what gets built first, again, its dependent on whats ordered. Why would you NOT build one trim level over another? If the order is placed, the car is sold as far as LLC is concerned. The restructuring LLC has undergone allows dealers to order what they can sell and arent being forced to inventory slow movers. No more gee, if you want a Charger R/T on your floorplan, you,ll have to sell 5 Caravans to get that car. I dont know how many SRTs Dodge will cap production at, but it makes no sense to make fewer of the 09s than the limited edition 08s - especially because of GM not making a Z28 Camaro. Wouldnt that be potential for more sales of the Challenger SRT? Isnt Ford still making Shelbys? Will they cut back production because GM axed the Z28? Sorry but no Z28 means more market for the SRT Challenger.
