Has Anyone Seen a 2008 Challenger on the Road Yet????

I thought it was about now and can;t find info.I have a friend who drives a big rig and he says he sat behind one at a stoplight about a month ago here in Ontario Canada.He figures it was a test mule as it had lots of wires and stuff on the dash.Are the production ones out yet?

I saw one a weekend before last, it was doing 90+ in the rain on the interstate.

Saw a black one yesterday for the first time in SoCal. Old lady driving it. 2 or 3 years ago I saw the actual prototype (orange/reddish) at the old Crystal Cove meet.

Haven't seen anything that remotely resembles a Challenger or Camaro up here.

Saw an orange one heading east on M59 about two weeks ago. Personally, I think that car looks like ****.

At first, but I moved over for him, there's no way I'm going that fast in the rain. It was orange.
