A friend of mine saw the newly issued 2009 Challenger brochure.

It has the following 8 colors offered:

Hemi Orange...R/T Only

TorRed

Inferno Red Crystal Pearl

Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl

Bright Silver Metallic

Deep Water Blue

Stone White

Dark Titanium Metalic

B5 Blue (later in the year)

 

What... no Statutory Grape? (a.k.a. Plum Crazy) [:'(]

I think they should offer a green color, preferably dark green... but I guess we should be thankful that they're offering what they're offering, especially given Chrysler's stinginess of any sort of real color selection, especially on the SRTs.

 

I have one and the count is 9 colors.

 

Im a guy that thinks every car looks better in black, but lately i've seen some 350z and a lexus in the burgandy(dark red) and they look really sharp. In short TorRed (right?) is sticking on me. It's going to be a tuff choice I think. Probably will be black in the end.

 

The following black cars I've owned during the years...

1979 Z28
1985 Monte Carlo SS
1991 GMC Syclone
1992 Lumina Z34
1999 Z28
2004 GTO

I'll agree that when a black car is all waxed and shined up, there's no sharper color. HOWEVER... they rarely stay that way for long, and since they're such a pain to keep clean, I'll never have another one. Plus they're way too hot in the summer time... to each his own, but I've definitely "been there done that" when it comes to the color black.

 

Agreed. I've got a black car right now. The black challenger looks amazing but after only about 3 days the dust, water and fingerprints are everywhere. With other colors if it gets a little dirty you can usually just rinse it off real quick and you're good as new. With black you've gotta lather rinse and repeat a couple times to get anywhere.

 

Had a black '87 Trans-Am GTA, the was the first & LAST black car for me - and I wash & wax religiously!

 

I know what you mean about the been there done that with the color black but i've got one and it almost seems like you can't go wrong. I've had one for the last 5 years and it what you fellas are saying is totally true, but I guess it just doesn't bother me as much.

 

Ive had several black cars and IM tired of all the work to keep them clean . Im hopeing the hemi orange isnt to bad when I had my hemi challenger it was that color and it seemed to always look nice .

 

Have several black cars as well but boy, that Chally looks SWEEET in black. I wish they would extend some of the color lineup to the SRTs.
