Re: Message to Dodge from a VW driver

Not any more. Build the Challenger, and I'll buy one. BUT, it'd better be a stick shift, it'd better have a V-8 the size of my VW, it'd better have two doors, and it'd better look damn close to the concept. Those are all deal-breakers. Without 'em, and you'll see me running back to the VW dealership for the next generation Jetta so I can have my 40+ mpg another 10 years. If I can't have a real muscle car, I'm not gonna have a half-assed one.
By the way, the Charger's a really neat car. Too bad it's called a Charger. That was dumb.
I've heard 2008. Great. Perfect timing. My '98 TDI should last about that long (even under my abuse). Now build the damn thing!
Wait, let's beat the dead horse some more - you're about to convert a German car driver to Mopar. I'VE NEVER EVEN OWNED AN AMERICAN CAR BEFORE! I WASN'T EVEN ALIVE IN 1970! AND I WANT A CHALLENGER NOW! WITH A V-8, A PISTOL GRIP 6-SPEED, AND TWO DOORS!
There, that horse is definitely dead now.

I vote to go for the 4 DR M3. For some insane reason they killed the M3 sedan when the E46 came out even though in the E36 series it made up 54 % of the sales. They have resurrected it in the E90 series so we will have the coupe, saloon, and estate aka Avant. If anything the S4 avant sales bitch slaped BMW into action.
