Dodge Challenger
Saturday, September 22, 2007 Filed in: Automobiles
I've been keeping my eye on any NEWS about the 2009
Dodge Challenger.
The production version will be shown at the Chicago Auto Show in February 2008.
Cerberus, the new owners of Chrysler, may reduce the number of Dodge Challengers that are planned to be produced. This may make it more of a specialty car with a higher price tag in the showroom because of demand by Mopar fans. It has already been announced that the Challenger will not be available in Europe.
Mopar fans hope to get a 6 speed manual transmission as well as an automatic transmission with the 5.7 and 6.1-liter HEMI V8. They also hope for a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 version. Dodge has confirmed that there will be an SRT version of the Challenger.
I hope that there will be a low cost entry level version that will be available with the 3.5-litre V6 and an automatic transmission. Ford offers a similar V6 Pony package on the Mustang.
