The CAMARO is coming in 09, and it's BUTT UGLY!

 

I want one, bad. But I won't be gouged.

 

You people out there that think you will get a top model of the Challenger or Camaro for under 50k are California dreamin. With the way the Canadian dollar is gaining strength fast, you'll just end up paying more for one since it's going to cost Cerberus more to produce them in Canada now. I think you might get a basic model for about 45k[sm=signs003.gif] It's costing us in Ontario Canada 50k just for the SRT8 Charger, with the 2 dollars becoming close to being on par with each other, well you figure it out.

 

I think it is a bit premature to make any predictions. Pricing will depend heavily on production numbers and model options. If we get a couple V8 options along with a V6 in decent numbers I tend to believe prices will not get inflated too badly.

Even without that remember that this forum primarily consists of die-hards and does not represent the muscle/performance car buying public. There are options to the Challenger for those that remain open to them. If dealers get too nutty many will simply go buy a Mustang or something comparable. Others will wait a year to look at a Camaro.

I myself will not consider paying over MSRP and will wait if I cannot get one for that. We'll see...

 

Car and Driver, in its July 2007 issue, stated that the Challenger prices will range from $25-$35,000, depending on options. This makes sense. It roughly follows the pricing scale of the Charger.

The article also said that a V-6, a 6.1, and a 6.4 will be produced. If this is correct, the car will be very affordable to all and will be major competition to the Mustang and the Camaro.

 

As bad as i really want one i think i would have to end up waiting til 2009 for the prices to go down. 30-35k is pushin it for me and i am lookin to get the r/t version. this way i could also have time to see what everyone else is buying. if i start seeing nothing but black or orange ones driving around then i will be sure to go with a different color. plus the 2nd year of production will probably have more options.
