An 09 Ram? What exactly would the difference be unless a lot of these are already built. The will still need parts form this company so they may be in short supply. At least there isn't much risk of people going to Ford or GM since they are in the same situation, just the foreign companies. Oh that's a nice thought. I have my favorite among the big three, but to be honest, I don't want to see the big three go down only because they are American. We've already lost companies that the big three run, or ran, like Plymouth and Aston Martin, it would be a shame to see more being lost to foreign companies or eliminated alltogether.
The 2009 Ram is the new model. Look towards the bottom of this article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram
I'll post the pictures I took at the St. Louis Autoshow when I get a decent internet connection.

Also read this on Autoblog.com. Looks like everything is all better for now at least. So, maybe no delay to Challenger production.

If there would be a delay, I would expect it to be short. Just a few days, maybe a week at most. I doubt it would be anything along the lines of years or anything like that.

My Dodge Dealer guy said a few weeks back that they won't even start production till April.
He probably meant for the R/T version tho

He is referring to the 2009 models.

I was told production wouldn't start until april, expect first deliveries arriving at dealers late May or June. Even if cerbrus didn't help plastictech there wouldn't be much of a delay. Cerbrus owns the tools and they would find another plastic manufacturer to work with. I'm just hoping chrysler will give a more definitive time table tomorrow.
