if we do not get the challenger (due to high prices/low production thus extremely high markup) we will most likely get a 300C srt8, if it is still available.
should chrysler get sold to some crap company...i dont know what we will look into.id rather get a new car, so my used cobra idea isnt that appealing...i dont want a car that has been beaten on by someone else....at this point in our lives, the corvette would be a pain, since it only has 2 seats. i suppose that there werent mopars to pick from, perhaps the subaru STi or mitsubishi evo...
rlsh, with enough hunting around, you can get pretty good deals on 1st gen vipers.

RE: What is your second choice?
I would have to choose a magnum SRT or awd RT. I might go this route anyways, because it more practical for my needs. I really don't need two musclecars, and not have to use the new challenger as a daily driver, but it would be nice.

Well, if I couldn't have a Challenger, then I may consider a Camaro because my wife had a '76 Camaro but they have to change the look for sure and be more classic.
I currently do not want a classic because they weren't built that well back then.
I certainly wouldn't mind building a kit car like a Ford GT40 which I have wanted all along but they are very expensive.
A used Cayman is certainly an option because it is the best handling car under $100K.
I am not sure of the latest on the Chrysler Firepower but that is a possibility.
As you can see I am confused, lets just plan on them making the Challenger.

A GT40 would be sweet but an even bigger headache if you ask me. I'm not crazy about Porsche to be honest. I think the plug was pulled on the Firepower unfortuneately. Also since you have complained about the lack of space in the Viper, that would probably prevent you from getting one since a Firepower is on the same platform minus some of the length.

If the Challenger is not available or too pricey, then I will probably stick with GM
2nd choice: 2008 Pontiac G8 (if available in Canada)
3rd Choce: 2008 Cadillac CTS coupe (if produced)
4rd choice: 2009 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
5th choice: 2008 Volvo C30 T5 (available in Canada March/April 2007)
If I can't wait for any of the above three, then I'll take a Volvo C30 T5 with the European delivery option.

I was unaware they were considering a CTS coupe. Add a post if you have info about this possibility.
I'm sorry but I'm with Jeremiah about the Camaro. The looks would have to change significantly before I'd get one. I'm not a fan of Volvo, so to each their own.

Owning a Muscle car have always been my dream, but if i could not buy this one, I guess I would get anything for now ( I really like the Saturn Aura and the Mini) and try one to buy one used one day.

300C or maybe Charger SRT. I just have never really warmed up to the front end styling on the Charger though.

To everyone, thanks for sharing this. Interesting how diverse the tastes of our members are. If you would like to elaborate or further discuss, feel free to do so.

RE: What is your second choice?
For some reason I like the magnum better than the charger, even though they are almost the exact same. It reminds of the belevedere wagon, and I just love those cars.

RE: What is your second choice?
I wanted a new car first. But now I have it, and I have some extra cash to spend, and the newer challenger doesn't come out, I will go classic. Not sure what though, depends what would be obtainable. First option a Challenger, if not maybe 68 69 Pontiac firebird or GTO. Or maybe go even older and get a 50's car. Then cruise with some Setzer blaring or a band call Hillbilly Casino. [sm=icon_rock.gif]
Obviously because of cash wise it would be a fixer upper, which is fine. I think that would be fun.

He has mine too.... as far as a new car is concerned, anyway. Most likely, I wouldn't buy a new anything.... go find another classic instead.

RE: What is your second choice?
If the Challenger is not produced, I will opt for the Magnum SRT8. I like the changes scheduled for 2008, and I currently have a 2005 R/T, which has turned out to be a pretty fun car. I know there are lots of folks out there not to big on 'wagons', but the lines of the Magnum really remind me of the chopped Nomad wagons...

RE: What is your second choice?
I also like the 2008 updates. I will agree that the Magnum is the best looking wagon I have ever seen, but I still prefer sedan models as my own personal preference.

RE: What is your second choice?
Well those are quite different from a Challenger, but interesting. So what is it about the Aura and Mini that you like?
Aside from the mini, most of the cars I wanted were made by DCX. The PT Cruiser (you gotta admit that when it first came out, it was hot) and Neon Srt-4 (the fastest car in America under 22k.... and no commercials) [sm=dontgetit.gif]

And as for the Aura, It is IMO one the best looking American sedans for the money and I think the XR’s interior is one of the best on the market. I am thrilled to see Saturn make a comeback, I hope Buick can do the same. I guess when I graduate from college and go into the business world, it is a little more conservative.
