I scrambled to dealers thinking that for sure I was way too late in the game to get one. However, I've been able to secure two orders for one with refundable deposits. One is in 'C' status and they won't talk about price until it's on the way to the dealer. The other the dealer won't really tell me the status and they're set on $5k over MSRP.
Hopefully it all pans out.
It's probably to make the '08 SRT8 LE buyers happy that they got something "unique". Dumb from my perspective but I can understand it. I dunno what it is. I wouldn't dream of an orange car in ANY other car out there but this Challenger, to me, looks best in orange.
