Re: Automotive News announces Dodge Challenger!!!!!!

Crossing my fingers and hopping Chrysler has enough sense to back this possible Hemi powered coupe with a manual tranny.

We are currently in the 2006 model year.

2009 model year is just 30 months (less than 3 years) away!
The 2009 model year begins in December of 2007?

If that's the case, then car model years are getting as bad as magazine months.

Re: Automotive News announces Dodge Challenger!!!!!!

Awesome news. Ive been wanting to see a two door LX pony car fighter from Chrysler since the 300 came out. The more American RWD v8 coupes, the better IMO.

Ok - 31 months. The model year now starts at the beginning of the previous calender year?

See magazine reference above.

Model years start the January of the previous year.

The 2009 Model year begins January 1st, 2008.



Jadedst, I might not mean what you think I do. Chrysler has let it be known (without officially stating so) that it intends to have a Mustang competitor on the road no later than the 2008 calendar year. GM has been letting it be known that it is "studying" having a Mustang competitor at some point, but it's been up to insiders to let us know the details on enthusiasts sites or through 2nd parties, but not to the general population.

GM is now going to face alot more pressure to be a bit more public on this, a little earlier than planned.

I suspect they will.

This is great news. GM will have another RWD sporty car to study to see if there is a market for a Camaro!
