Not unexpected. Chrysler is certainly the character brand! I keep thinking if I weren't a GM man I'd definitely have a Chrysler in my garage!

Re: Chrysler group to announce building of Dodge Challenger

that it will build the Dodge Challenger, bringing to market as soon as next year

Sounds like we will be behind playing catch up to both the Mustang and Challenger now...

Re: Chrysler group to announce building of Dodge Challenger

Insiders are saying Challenger will MSRP not much above a loaded Mustang GT.

Re: Chrysler group to announce building of Dodge Challenger

Kinda cool in a passing 'oh look' kinda way, but definitely not my style (retro).

I wonder when this phase will pass? Oh well... at least the Corvette isn't retro (yet!).

Unless this program has been seriously accelerated in the last few months (which I suppose is possible)....then Im pretty sure that "next year" comment isn't correct.
