Default Who's waiting for the manual?

I don't want this car SO bad that I'm willing to take it with an automatic AND pay over MSPR!
I'm waiting Dodge out on this one... after you see it on the streets for a few months you'll grow a little tired of it anyway.
Show me the MANUAL!

I'm waiting a couple years before I get my own partly so then I can get a manual among other reasons.

2009 - 6 speed, at or under MSRP.
I think I'm leaning toward the SRT8 (425 HP) package....I WANT the PONIES in my PONYCAR!
I'm tired of busted knuckles and greasy fingernails.....if I wanted that, I'd restore an original, not "bolt on" to the 5.7L HEMI.
I want to turn the key, hear it roar, stomp the throttle and have my butt slide back in the seat from brutal acceleration.

Not waiting until 2010 - by then, who knows what external influences will effect production numbers and trim levels. I'm going for it while it's there - not hoping that or something better will be around at a later time.

I understand the want for the top engine. I prefer to keep my engines stock and not have to deal with the pains of having to repair it from the extra stress it caused the engine. Part of the reason why I'm waiting is for financial reasons. I want to wait until I'm 25 so then I have lower insurance premiums and I want to make sure I have a steady employment status as well.

I understand - and agree. That's the smart thing to do.

Had a ragtop before. They're cold in the winter (I live in the NorthEast), noisy (all the time), and easy to cut to break into the car (maybe I'm paranoid, but I saw it happen too many times), everything blows around when the top is down (had stuff sucked out of the car on the Interstates), the back window gets milky and discolored....... I'll stick with a metal roof.

Well just as long as you understand that a convertible hasn't necessarily been confirmed just as of yet. I hope it does, but no confirmation that one will come as of yet. If I was going to get a convertible, the only way I would go is a hard top convertible. My aunt had a SL500 ragtop and that thing was a pain in the neck. It would leak, it didn't maintain the car's temperature on the interior, it was noisy, and was only nice to have on those rare occasions when you could put the top down, and believe me, those were rare.
