Like a lot of car buyers..I wanted to buy the concept..it is that simple!

That's okay, I'll buy the one that would have been yours. I think it looks better this way.

BTW, has anyone noticed that the stupid crossbars are missing from the grill in the most recent spy pix? THAT looks sweet.

yes, I caught that to. May look more like a 70 challenger grill. I also got the impression there's a ducktail spoiler out back.

BTW: will some of you please stop whining. My god it's not even out of the shop yet and you're throwing fits. Get a life. I rather suspect that we're all going to witness some pretty neat surprises.

I found this rumor on another website:

For the 2008s: 6.1 or 3.5 V6, both auto trans only, and only three options available: nav, HD headlights, and stripes. Standard equip levels will be high.

For the 2009s: (start production just a few months later), there will also be a 5.7 option, more trim etc options like the LXs, and available manual transmission with the 6.1.

If there is no 6.4 offered I will be disappointed. The new MB C63 AMG just caught my eye and that would be my purchase over a Challenger if there is no 6.4...Just my humble opinion...

I loved the abscence of the crosshair grille! Where are the commercials?

good job "trying to see" the car under the camo, but some of the pictures are VERY WRONG. you have to remember, the concept car is BIG bigger than normal. the real car is a little smaller, but com'on it would have to be. plus some of the features that are shown are incorrect. just wait till feb. and see the real car!!! i know its gonna be tuff for everyone, but i heard about the car we have right now and had to wait. hell our car was a mule car, and it will turn into a show car, so it will change again for me, looking at it every day in the shop.

I hate the fact they may be coming out with a V6. It will help Chrysler with sales but the reason I opted not to get a Mustang was everyone's Grandma now drives a V6 model (okay the real reason is I am too fat for a Mustang )

firstmethod, i agree with your logic. A 5.7L model doesnt make sense if they are planning on a V6 the first year.

champcaracing- Do the tail lights go all the way across the rear of the car?

Believe me, you won't be disappointed. Two different 6.4L production engines have been developed, one of which, at least initially, will be available only in the Challenger.

Will one of those engines break the 500 mark?
