Great news. Frankly the faster they build em the closer we get to getting all of these dealers to stop playing games with pricing and taking orders from their customers. At this rate GM will build about 70,000 cars or more before the end of the year. I am guessing we are about two months away from the supply demand to being a much closer match. Looking at Cars.com they have been sitting on lots a little longer than a few weeks ago. By sitting I mean a few days versus hours. I am happy to see the crooks not getting the huge markups because those cars have been sitting for weeks.

I am buying in December so things should be sane by the time I am ready to sign on the dotted line.

Nobody should find this surprising. I know I don't.
That's basically what I've said the other four or five times that Camaro's impressive sales figures have been brought up.

Wait until next year and we'll get a better idea of how demand for Camaro stacks up against other cars.

Maybe there isn't an element of personal surprise but instead just... pleasure.

Me thinks the demand will continue to grow. Sooo many people have just not seen the car in the flesh...everywhere I go I get thumbs up and stares...that means that some of these people considering mustang cause they are not that loyal(the ones on the fence)....may swing to Camaro. Keep the word out...and keep talking about a new great North American car...

There hasn't been a Challenger rolling off the assembly line for nearly 2 months (assembly shut down back on May 1st, and only just restarted).

There hasn't been a Challenger in any local showrooms here in some time.

You can't sell what you don't make and don't have in showrooms to sell.

Plus, Chrysler (with an amazing lack of foresight) didn't up production ratio of Challenger (their highest demand car from the Brampton assembly plant) to other LX cars ahead of their shutdown. There were already people getting frustrated at the snails pace of Challenger production and cancelled their orders.

Chrysler has shot themselves in the foot regarding the Challenger.

We'll soon see if they get it together and get Challenger production up near where demand is.

I drove past a Dodge dealership yesterday, 3 of em sitting in the lot, just parked with the regular cars, not in the showroom or anything. Maybe they had another inside, but it looks like they are starting to sit a bit.

Those Challengers you guys are seeing are probably $45K SRT8 automatics.
Try to find an R/T stick.

You got a good point there.....not having someones idea of a "decent interior" is very similar to not having an interior at all.

Good catch!

Or maybe they're marking them up fifteen grand?

......Or maybe itll be just like that 1970's, they make a few challengers and cudas. Now there worth 3 times as much as they were when they sold in the 1970's.

More info on Chrysler's June sales, including the Challenger:

Only one Chrysler Group LLC model showed a sales increase over June of last year, the Dodge Challenger muscle car.
However, the plant shutdowns has led to low inventory of some models. The company now has only a 40-day supply of the Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Caravan minivans, and it's also low on Jeep Wranglers, Sebring convertibles and Challengers, she said.

Here's the link:
