Default Dodge should prep for manufacturer crossovers

I believe dodge should prep for muscle car customer crossovers from ford and especially gm. I was at a camaro forum and many posters talked about how they were not totally satisfied with the new concept design and how much of a discrase the GTO design was. I also read many posts about how good the Challenger looks and how DCX got it right. I believe the market for this car will expand to muscle car lovers who thought they loved gm or ford.

I am a prime example. I owned a TA, it was my first car. 86, T-top with a 350. I loved it and it broke down alot and didn't love me back. I had an alliance with gm because I drove one not because the car was reliable or for any other logical reason. Dodge has lured me in its corner with the Challenger and the Charger. I believe that they should be ready to deal with other "on the fence" muscle car lovers of all ages.

Like general motors, I hope DCX does not make the following mistakes

-Not listen to what the customers want
-Produce a small amount of Challengers
-Not include a v-6 (GTO)
-Have only one package options
-Set the msrp to high initially. Don't burn bridges with customers
-Let dealers price gouge
