RE: Brampton Challengers
This is a funny statement by this factory worker on allpar. He should have posted "We are going to build car's when we get back from shutdown" or something like that. YES they are going to build 3.5 Challengers and RT Challengers and SRT Challengers and all of the Challengers that are listed on the web site. Not just 3.5 Challengers. They can build all of the models mixed up any way any color, trans, powerplant, they want to all in the same day. And guess what? They will toss Chargers and 300's in the mix also.

A factory worker has posted on allpar that they were told this week that when they return, after the July shutdown, they will be building 3.5L Challengers.
I thought the original plan was to build the 2009 R/Ts first and then the SRTs in September. [sm=smiley25.gif]
This change is probably in response to the current gas crisis.

I'm also sure they'll step up Challenger production because, realistically, they're probably not going to be selling that many Chargers/Chrysler 300s with gas prices shooting up. Although the V-6 versions' mileage on those cars isn't that bad, they both are viewed as "big cars" (read: "fuel hogs"). The V-6 Challenger, though, at a size much closer to that of the Mustang, likely will be regarded as a large small car or small medium-size car and therefore more "fuel efficient."

There are no buyers waiting and salivating for a new Charger/300. If they wanted one that badly they'd have bought it already. There will surely be a slow and steady drop in demand for those cars, and all big, V8 cars due to gas prices. But before those declines show up on the Challenger, you can bet there will be a sharp spike for the first three to six months as people like us who have been waiting for them run out to get them when they hit the lots. After that initial spike, then the "big car", "small car", etc. thing will probably kick in like you say.
