Default Redesign of the Challenger?

Do you think that they will do a minor re-design (refreshening) when they move to the new platform in 2010 or will the car be exactly the same?

Well considering it will only have been out for a year and a half by then(really only a model year + 6400) I seriously doubt it. I wouldn't expect more than a few little tweaks(probably more bug fixes than additions) and maybe a couple new colors.

Not to mention the addition of 40th Anniversary badging. (OK, Dodge, I want CREDIT for that idea! )

A free challenger for your trouble should be the least that they could do.

And if it's in their generosity, for a few of your friends!

I think there will be somewhat of a "Facelift" after a few years, Also it will be interesting how these cars and the competitions will be effecting motorsports, and if so I wonder if they will make a T/A version someday?

...what is the Phoenix engine? Sounds like something out of X-Men or Transformers.

It is a new line of V-6 engines that will feature cylinder deactivation (MDS), an aluminum die cast block, dual variable valve timing (VVT) and a two-stage oil pump, among other technologies. This is supposed to generate 6-8% in fuel savings and produce maximum power from the V-6.

As of July 2007, the engine was still reportedly in early-development.
