Would you buy the V6?
 
I am so biased, I may be out of touch with reality. I see over and over that the Challenger should offer a V6 variant. Let's put this to rest. How many on this board would actually buy a V6? For the sake of argument, if the V6 were $6,000 dollars less than the V8, would that make you buy it? I say NO WAY am I buying the V6. But hey, you tell me.

I wouldn'tbuy one myself; however, I think it's a mistake for DCX not to offer one. They need a base model entry-level version to offer those who don't want a big V8 version; too many potential sales to be ignored there. Most of the Mustangs sold, for example, are V6's.

I AGREE 100%...;)

I personally will more than likely buy a base Challenger with the 5.7 Hemi V8 because I will not be able to afford the higher priced 6.1-Hemi with all its options... Some people will want a Challenger just for the way it looks and will not be as interested in a V8 like some of us "motor-heads" out here would be....
Me personally if I COULD afford the 6.1, I would buy it instead, BUT, since I can't afford the $35,000+ that Dodge will be asking for one, I will instead opt for the next best choice, a base Challenger with the 350HP 5.7-HEMI V8...;):)

Looks like we agree that there must be a V6 option. As I have said before I see loads of V6 Stangs everyday but very few V8's.

I'm a V8 or not at all kind of guy..

Wow!! I'm on the opposite of the sprectrum on that one... down here in the DFW area I see more V8's ruling the road.... along with a crap load of Toyota Camrys! What the heck is the appeal with a Camry!

Well the Camry has been the #1 selling car in America for about 12 years now. Why you ask:

1. Cost
2. Styling
3. Reliability
4. Gas Milage
5. The confidence that the buying public has in Toyota's products.
6. Safety test proven in the top 5.

That's a start on the facts.;)

V/8 for me but a V/6 must be offered to make this car more appealing to the masses cost wise.

I agree, they should produce a V6 for those who want the cars styling but not the price tag to go with it. As for me, there is no way I'd buy a V6. V8 all the way baby[sm=gears.gif]Even if I have to wait and save a little longer!

Here in the Northwest Florida panhandle area, you see about an equal number of V6 Mustangs & V8 Mustang-GTs with maybe just a slight edge to the V8s...

I don't know, but the fact that there is alot of military bases and alot of pilots do their training around here, I think maybe a slight influence on just how many V8 Mustang-GTs we see on the roads around here... ;):D
