2 More RWD V8 Sports Cars May Be Coming to Market
It seems that Dodge and Hyundai (yes, Hyundai) might be bringing rwd coupes to market in the next few years. AutoWeek reported that many at Dodge would like to see a new Challenger based of the next LX platform to be built to compete with the Mustang for 2009 http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=102549 .
Hyundai is planning to start building rwd cars in 2007 according to the latest issue of either MotorTrend or Road & Track, I can remember which. The article mentioned a possibility of a V8 coupe model and had an artist rendering of the possible car.

The kids who were never able to afford one are not retiring baby boomers with excess disposable income. Retro cars meant to appeal to that crowd. Didn't help the new T-Bird though........

I am an aging baby boomer with disposable income. I looked at the T-Bird, agree with Army RX-8, and didn't bother to drive it.

The Challenger name is retro, but I don't think the car will be a retro copy like the Mustang but rather just continue the boxy theme of the other Dodge/Chrysler rwd cars.
