Does anybody have any ideas if this is a sign that they plan on producing more than just a limited number, or is this just a cookie-cutter response? To me it seems that if they had planned on a limited-production vehicle, the response may have read "...The 2008 Dodge Challenger will be available on a limited basis..." or something like that. Or I could just be on glue, and am trying to read WAY too much into this...
First off, I hope you're not on glue,any type ,as this 'may /is' not the best choice [ although I cannot speak from personal experience ] ! Next, production estimates begin at 30,000 minimum ! Now,using " HemiDakota's " [ thread - U.S. Auto Sales for 2006 ;as of June ] data in a sketchy way in which more than 30,000 Hummers have been sold + nearly 60,000 Dodge chargers have been sold : leads me to wonder that 30,000 Challengers could easily be sold and most likely at least 60,000 ! Finally , I believe this response [ which has been repeated for several ?'s ] is what I'd term a prelim aka not yet really decided upon as it is just TOO SOON after initial official DCX announcement of Production Challengers being a reality ! I suspect DCX is still sorting out details and /or waiting to hear back from their various suppliers of parts and engineering of specific parts and /or tweaking the design from Concept to actual Production model !
