Re: Brampton to build 30,000 cars yearly.
After much thought I disagree. I believe the Challenger is destined to become a high production car with semi-boutique pricing. Car collectors who are hoping this will turn into an ultra rare collectable are going to be disappointed when DCX continues to produce the car year after year after year if demand doesn't let up. Even at 30k per year (a number I believe they will increase if demand is there, as has been noted in a variety of other threads) that's still a LOT of hemi-powered challengers. Ultimately I think they will produce the car for as long as it flies off the lot (or until some other catastrophic event kills the car, like what happened in the 1970s), even if it means a 20 year run. If this happens, kiss your ultra low numbers goodbye even for the "special editions" mentioned by wirewilly in his Carlisle thread.
I for one hate the idea of a low production car. Everyone should have a chance to buy and own any type of Challenger they can afford. Give the public a large number of interior/exterior colors and mix/match options to help differentiate the cars. And let time and attrition pare back the number of cars - as inevidably happens.
