I read somewhere that the Challenger won't have a manual until 09. I haven't really seen any interior pics of the callenger yet but the inside of the camaro I'm not so hot about. I don't know why maybe I just need to see better shots or in person eventually. Oh and nice avatar MM.

I liked the prototype wheels a lot better. That and the prototype's b-pillarlessness. Yes, that's a new word. $40,000 for the 6.2 seems higher than I was expecting. At $40,000... they can afford to build up the rigidity in order to remove the b-pillar and make a few of the body parts carbon fiber. Just my opinion. Hype will sell it, that's for sure.

If I know Dodge, all the "aggressive styling" is laid flimsily over top a giant engine hooked to a dumb automatic transmission, strapped to a chassis that's about as stiff as a condom. It'll be 9 feet wide, drink petrol like a refinery fire, come in a bunch of stupid colors, handle like a Radio Flyer, and sell like nine-cent lottery ticket.

It's a Cavalier
I'll have a new Camaro. That's pretty much a sealed deal.
But, I have to say they did a brilliant job on the Challenger. I can't WAIT to run into these guys.... and not just because I want to race one; it's just that seeing such an interesting classic shape on the road will be refreshing, in the same way that the new Mustangs used to break up the monotony of current designs.
Now, of course, the new Mustangs are common, and don't evoke that kind of reaction. Bring on the Challenger and Camaro.
What's weird is I'm not one of those retro wackos. I just want something different.
The 8 really did that for me before I started seeing mass hordes of them all over the place with chicks driving them like they're a sub compact instead of a sports car.
