as I've said before, I think I'll pick up a 2010 Challenger sometime in 2012... it would make a great addition to our little fleet of cars
I don't know if beating the Camaro to production by a year is much of an advantage, considering they're only making 6000 of them this year with ridiculous mark ups. Looks like GM's decision to go to production in '09 doesn't seem as lame as it did 2 years ago. They have nothing to worry about and neither does Ford. But the Challenger has to be very worried when the Camaro and updated Mustang come to the market siginificantly cheaper and faster than the Challenger. Chrysler is tied long term to the heavy sedan chassis they built the Challenger off of. It will finish a distant 3rd in every category to the Camaro and 'stang.
