fatcat, yessir understand it all. I have bought new cars every three years for the last 15 years or so. I have bought 4 from GM and one from Dodge, (well, counting this Challenger its two) and so far Dodge this time has been the sorriest excuse for a manufacturer that I have ever seen. I worked for Oldsmobile, Datsun, BMW and SAAB over the years and I have never ever ever seen such crap from any company such as this. My wife and I bought new cars (her Mustang GT and My Chev Avalanche) on the same day back in 05 (they were 06's) and we had a competition to see who would get their vehicle first. The two companies sent emails that seemed to be within a day or so of each other giving a full detail as to the process from order to arrival at the dealer ship. The funny thing was, we both got one starting at the order stage and we had full detail all the way. Not like Dodge and having to wait until D1 stage. But, wait we must if we want this sweetie! We can only complain as our previous brethern (08's) have done in their wait.
