Well, with all due respect to your/this general manager :I believe he's very ,very mistaken. Listen, as has been stated here numerous times, most of these dealership personnal have not a clue what's really going on and/or are bs'ers ! If you've been regularly reading all of the threads and posts here @ Challengertalk you would know/realize that that is not true ! Heck, if you want, you could even call up Chrysler or go to their website ; www.dodge.com/challenger and you'll read about the All New 2008 Dodge Challenger out around April as an '08 model or go ask Dr. Z ! !!

Are you sure he didn't tell you that, just to get you to buy the Charger?

Hmmm, the official Dodge sight says, "....announced the production of the 2008 Dodge Challenger. .... Feb 6, 2008"

... of course Feb 2008 is essentially only what, 4-6 months from the time many manufacturers start releasing their 2009 models.

Well, your 'shortened' quote seems to be taken out of context ! Feb.^th is when the production version will be at the Chicago Auto Show !! Here,try this statement from Dodge; which as you must know was announced over 10 months ago on July 1st :Daytona Beach, Fla. - Chrysler Group President and CEO Tom LaSorda today announced that Dodge Challenger will return to production after a nearly 35-year hiatus. The all-new Dodge Challenger will debut as a 2008 model in calendar-year 2008.

Here is Dr Z's response from a few days ago:

The all-new Dodge Challenger will make its debut as a 2008 model, in calendar-year 2008. True to both its historical and modern concept car roots, the 2008 Dodge Challenger will be offered as a two-door, HEMI V-8 powered, manual-transmission, and rear-drive coupe. Currently, we do not have pricing information, full specifications or anticipated productions numbers. Also a waiting list has yet to be established for the vehicle.

The first Mustang was a 64 1/2, wasn't it? They will probably release 09's 6months after the 08's start arriving at the dealers.
