OK, if he is a real employee of Chryser Corp and can't answer because of some secrecy clause he signed . But I wonder if thses prices are close because I just can't imagine that MOTOR TREND MAG would risk their reputation and they do have the longest and best reputations arond in the Automoblie business.

Now I'm wondering if your friend from the Dodge Dealership has no prices yet from Dodge Div of Chrysler Corp then how does he know or so sure that those prices are not from Chrysler Corp? Me thinks the Motor Trend Magazine people have some contact with Chrysler, after all they will road test this car and write a lot about it as more is known. I have 2 very close friends also in a Chrysler and Dodge dealership and they have told me they have seen nor heard any info as to the Challenger other than its debuting on Febuary 8th, 2008 and it should be in dealerships within 2 weeks of that. We shall all see then I guess and know the real prices too, ahaaaaaaaa LOL......but its fun to talk about it and kills some of the agonizing waiting time till CHALLENGER DAY .....YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Based on the MT article, my guess for the 2008 RT launch...

$30K: 5.7L base manual
$32K: 5.7L base auto

$37K: 6.1L base manual
$39K: 6.1L base auto

The 6.1 is a little steep for my blood.

 

Motor Trend is not always accurate like everytype of media outlet. I don't think anyone knows for sure at this point, just be patient.

 

I know, I'm trying to be patient, but...

I can only hope (can only HOPE...) that Dodge dealers don't do what the Pontiac dealers did when the GTO came out in 04 - they had all sorts of dealer markups, plus they had Fort Knox-style security around them, and forget about test driving one unless you were willing to put a several thousand dollar deposit on it (and they WONDERED why the cars weren't selling...). Finally later on in the year I was able to get one for several thousand off sticker (go figure, eh?).

That's why I'm not even gonna think about a first year 08 model. Late 09 at the earliest, I'll go for a late 09 or an early 010.

 

Oh I'll go for a first year, but if they try to rape me then forget it. I have yet to see a "retro" car come out where they didn't do that. I'm thinking if I can be patient though and just sit back and relax then I can get one with the Chrysler discount through my job here, no I don't work for Chrysler, but we do have a program. All cars eventually end up on there. The Mustang, was a year after, not sure about the GTO, and the Charger is on there. They were "reluctant" to give me the Mustang at the discount, but I'm sure the way Ford is hurting in sales and how the Mustang suddenly dumped off of massive sales, they had no problem doing that. I have my sports car fix, even if it's not the one that I really want at this time, so I think I can afford to be patient if need be.

 

now are the challengers only going to be issued with 8cyl. motors or will there be on option for the 6cyl.?

 

Keep dreamin guys, like I said before and I'll say it again, I highly doublt that you will get a Hemi Challenger for under 45k US, esspecially when it will be built in Canada where they are forcating that the Canuck buck will be on par with the US greenback by the new year and before the first production release of the car. It will cost more money to build that Challenger the higher our dollar climbs witch is unfortunate for all of us, and believe me they're not going to loose any money on this venture, that 's something Motor Trend didn't take in to consideration. If there's something I've learned over time is that "If It's To Good To Be True, It's usually Not". We'll just have to wait untill release time, I guarantee you not even the dealers will know the price untill then either.

 

Do you really think that the exchange rate will mean another 15,000 dollars ? I don't think so . Anyway I'm still saving untill they sjhow up on the dealers lot and will have close to $30,000 saved so I think I just might be able to finance the rest ....AHAAAAAaaaaaaa as I cross my fingers ......Good luck to all of us that are waiting anxiously till FEBUARY 8Th at 10AM CMT.
