You need to build the car with both a 6 speed and automatic option, staying true to your heritage. Its been said over and over ad nauseum on these forums. Personally, if I wanted to drive an auto I'd buy a corolla.
While I like the looks and the power of the new Challenger enough to buy it if it was offered only in automatic, I think it would be a mistake for Dodge NOT to offer a manual transmission as a choice. I believe the relative simplicity of a manual would be beneficial in a vehicle with this much horsepower. Manual would be my first choice (if we get to have a choice!)
