Are you gaining money?
I think that is foolish to let people know you are a jerk in 4 posts.

If making the Challenger in SE and RT trims keeps Dodge afloat, Im all for it. The last thing the economy needs is a major source of jobs like Chrysler to go out of buisness because a few people want the Challenger to be exclusive. If you want to have an exclusive car, go buy a Ferrari or Rolls Royce. The whole point of an American Muscle car is that average joe can buy one. If a few decades down the line, the car becomes a collectors item, fine, if not, so be it. Im not in it for the investment. Im in it for the Car!

Edit: Sorry, have to watch my language. Also removed some stray appostrophes.

SKIDs I agree 100% with you here. I am buying this car for ME, not for investment. If I wanted an investment car I would go to Barrett Jackson and buy one, put it in a closet and only look at it for the rest of my life. This Challenger will get driven (abeit not daily), thrashed at the drop of a hat and just plain have fun with.

The business case for the Challenger could never have been made. At one time the thought was R/T and SRT only at best but an SRT exclusively Challenger would have never been given the green light.

Lexus and Mercedes depreciate like any other car. People in that price point have no problem coughing up the extra to get a new one, so you have to discount it pretty good to get any attention.
Second point is that Challengers would be a lot more expensive if the cheaper cars didn't help amortize costs over more units.
