Default News 0n the 2009's


Found this update at allpar:

UPDATES: We were just informed that the interior for 2009 will be black only; the seats in the R/T and the base model are the same, both offered in both cloth and leather (and they look similar). The design is a ribbing in the seat area with bolsters similar to the R/T package on the Charger. The cluster trim panels and center stack trim have been updated for the 2009 model year, and R/T models have Hemi badging on the side of the hood (in the same style as the SRT’s 6.1L HEMI writing). A few R/Ts have regular round exhaust pipes; others are squarish. Meanwhile, the manual shifter has a pistol-grip design as in the concept, with teh boot taking up the same space as the automatic; Reverse is all the way to the right, above sixth, with a gate from sixth gear so you go into sixth and then up to get to Reverse (it uses a modified Viper-style Tremec manual transmission). The first 2009s will apparently be built on April 14.
Seems like some kind of odd things in there... what's everyone make of it?? April 14th production??? Before the 2008's??? [sm=dontgetit.gif]

Maybe that means the '08 production is going to start a LOT earlier?

April 14th is about when the 2008 SRT8's were supposed to begin being built.
I think they got their date wrong.

All 08's are still in C status, hopefully that will change soon, but I believe like the others that production date id more than likely for the 08's.

Absolutely not! Have you seen that commercial that ran a year or two ago were there is one guy in an office full of chimpanzees, they keep turning the graphs around and screwing everything up? That is Dodge's marketing and executive department!

We'll see what happens, don't bet the farm yet, I just read that they are forcasting $1.50 per litre for fuel in Canada, thats $5.70 per US gallon. If gas prices do clims as forcasted I personally don't think the V-8 muscle cars will see a long production history. Just my 2 cents, look on the bright side you might be able to pick up some of the first issue Challengers
cheap this summer, lol.
