I just seen the new Challenger and I was blown away. It's a lot bigger than the old one. The sticker price was 45,000 and a guy was buying it for 74,000 due to dealer mark up. Orange and black striped. Sweet ride  |

on the final product.

it is funny . the more things change the more they stay the same. I always did like that earlier body style..... what was the old engine. 383 bored to 401? remember we are talking from memory here and the last time I was tooling around in one of those was before I graduated high school. 1975

74,000 for a dodge? some people have too much throw away money. you can actually get a REAL car for that price.

I agree. You can get a serious BMW, Mercedes for 75k...I'd rather have a Dodge Charger than a Challenger anyways if I went with Dodge....

Nice car. Not 74K nice though. I'd go with a Viper w/that kind of money, or a Z06. Never foreign though.

Ive driven both Anthony, ziper extremely rough ride and loud, Z06 amazing, but I got the chance to drive an acura nsx and it out handled and out performed both in my opinion. all personal choices I guess. My choice would be the Ford GT. Nice to have a few well to do freinds that let me drive their cars on occasion.

Anthony, I do like your Rumble Bee. That's a cool truck. I still have
my 1st car, a 74 Challenger. I've owned it for almost 24 years.

I don't seem to keep onto vehicles too long, but have had that for 2+yrs, and my mustang for almost 5. Thats a really long time for me. |

Our Economy may almost be in a complete recession right now...but that will still not make me buy a car made in the
US of A. My current luxury car is a Lincoln LS, and I've never had more problems in my entire life. I've owned 3 japanese cars before, never had ANYTHING near the NIGHTMARES this POS provides, free of charge...FIXING, not free of charge. Someone who spent $75,000 on a Dodge is one of two things:1. Loaded beyond Comprehensibility. or 2. A Complete F*cking Idiot.

I Still Say For $45,000 sticker price, I would buy a Dodge Charger Daytona if I were forced too. It Is a PLUS the new Challenger looks GREAT, but I Would still prefer the Charger...but then I think of Al Bundy and His Dodge, and Think I Should just Forget About Dodge.

Some of it in my opinion is Luck and some of it is the dealer. A good dealership is a big thing. I suggest you pick another brand with a different dealership. Oh and I have friends that have had huge problems with their "Japanese" cars. |
