Re: Canadian Info

There is still no confirmation of anything from Chrysler. So this is all best guess and reliable rumours.

there will be only 500 Canadian Challengers. Chrysler has threatened severe penalties if any US dealers sells a car to a Canadian.

Pricing is not announced officially, but two prices were put in newspapers a month or so ago allegedly "official" but Chrysler never followed up with announcements and the prices were different so its hard to say. Best guess.
MSRP is going to be 46-47K
Options might be extra.
GG-Tax ($3,000) might be extra.
As far as I know, dealers can charge whatever they want. No restriction on the 5-stars. However, there is or used to be a law in Ontario that prevented a dealer from selling for more than MSRP but some dealers can get creative with mandatory dealer installed options that are just a way to increase the price.

Lastly and here is the kicker.
Canadians will not be allowed to order 08 Challengers.
Chrysler will make 500 of them and they'll be made however Chrysler wants to make them in either Black or Orange. They will be shipped to various 5-star dealers, probably no more than one per dealer and it won't matter if the dealer had wanted one with that combination of color and options, they get what they get.

Price. As I stated above. The most reliable rumour today is that when the cars hit the lot (possibly in Aug or Sept if your dealer is correct) that's when we will get official pricing.

Given the numerous changes in when they'll announce the price I am pretty sure they're hopoing the Canadian dollar tanks before then so they can jack up the price to closer to 60K msrp... imagine what the price will be with dealer gouging included!?

Hmmmmm 60K might get me an 09 CTS-V with 550hp that'll do 0-60 in almost 4 flat. Doesn't have the style of mopar muscle, but it'll kick its ass and do it in style. Nah.. I still want a Challenger, but dammit I am getting tired of the bs games.
