You know, this thread needs to be retitled 2010 Challenger Speculation instead of 2010 Challenger Rumors. Unless we can START some rumors ... like how everyone who already owns an '08 or '09 gets a FREE 2010 Challenger!

not sure at least for me if that would be such a good deal,I'm pretty hard on my '08 and I paid A LOT of money for it.If they gave me one for free I'd prolly kill myself in it :-)

im surprised that we arent hearing more about engine improvements...because with the 5.7 jumping up in power, the SRT needs a bigger step unless they are hoping to pump out more RTs.

I'll keep my '08.
As for the SRT/RT.....they should sell more RTs in the long run, if for no other reason than the price difference. (The 6.1 has more than enough power for me, but it would be nice if they would upgrade to the 6.4 later...)

Here is what I would like to see in the next generation
1. True hardtop, or at least rear windows that go down.
2. Switch the turn signals and fog lights; get rid of the egg yoke look.
3. LCD taillights
4. Flat hood and shaker hood scoop option
5. More horsepower out of the V6.

I think sooner or later the V6 offering is going to lose the 42RLE, I just hope they replace it with a worthwhile transmission such as a rwd version of the 62TE and not the W5A580. I was expecting the Phoenix engine to replace it next year but I guess it isn't ready. I hope they DON'T get any crazy ideas and decide to add the underpowered, wannabe 4 banger, sludger (aka 2.7L V6). I hope that is the first V6 to die of the current offerings.
The only thing to remember is Chrysler might be suffering in the performance department since Big Brother Sam is in charge and ManBearPig doesn't like performance as it makes him a greater threat through the use of more fuel, and since we have to bow to figments of people's imagination AGAIN, this isn't going to help us in the performance department.
