Quite possibly, but as it stands right now its a two army war. Not that I dislike the Chally mind you. I actually like alot of things about it more than the Mustang. It just doesn't seem like Dodge wants to commit to making it a serious competitor in the segment. They got a decent grip on people who remember the first pony era, but they aren't doing much to attract younger people...which is where the Camaro and the Mustang are killing them. Alot of us like the car, but simply won't pay that price.
Building my own on their website, it seems to get what is comparable to my Camaro I'd have to pay a 3k premium...and thats even before I take into consideration the fact that my Camaro qualified for cash for clunkers...which the Challenger did not.
Good car, which unfortunately up to this point has been the victim of poor business decisions. Hope they recover.
