Alright, the purple is a bit too much for me, and I still think the Challenger looks too overweight. This would be the perfect car for the Count of Sesame Street.

Very nice, I am glad to see plum crazy purple coming back. That is such an iconic color for the old mopars. However, I personally am more partial to Sub-Lime Green for the hi-impact colors. What Chrysler should do is create a Vanishing Point edition Challenger. Ford can do it with the Bullett Mustang, why cant Dodge.

Agreed, Jay. My neighbor has one and it looks fat. Not phat, but fat. From what I hear and have read it’s not particularly a performer either, but all my neighbor’s cars are Chrylers because they are partners in a dealership or two.

Remind me of all the Cavaliers earlier this decade… If you can’t beat your competititon or even match them in many ways – just stick a crazy color on it and you’ll find some suckers to buy them. Just look around at how many bright yellow Cavs are around!

^That’s really not a fair comparison, this is a good car, but it’s sort of in the same frame of thinking.

it’s nice to see this emerging from a sea of silver Camrys

Where’s my supplies? Come on.
I thought we had a deal.

—Oh, for Christ’s sake! Here!

Yee! Auto Trader Ooh, August.
I don’t got this one.

There are some deals in here.

Oh, check this out.
Cuda, plum crazy purple.

This guy wants fourteen grand, whaaaaat?

^^agreed. I wouldn’t personally own a purple car, but it’s nice to see some variation and “wow” factor out on the roads. The sea of silver/white bland-mobiles out there is pretty numbing…

(agreeing with tastyorange btw)

Is retro still cool? What year did the New Beetle come out? ‘98?

Well, at least I will be able to tell them apart from Camaros and Mustangs now.

I was confused, I thought you were agreeing with Joe Dirt.

If only the car were 3 feet shorter and 1000lbs lighter.

@ ajm11

My ‘70 Roadrunner is Sub-Lime green and it turns heads everywhere, I may have to pick up one of these Challengers just for kicks though

I saw a purpleish Saleem version at the NY auto show and it looked very very nice

Is this Chrysler’s attempt to educate the public? Up until now you had to be in prison to know what it must be like to have something this big and purple come at you from behind.

The color is awesome, but I doubt I could ever bring myself to buy one. People would just say “Hey, here comes the Barney-mobile” (or Grimace-mobile for you old school McDonald’s fans).

@ Roadrunnr

The ‘70 Runner must be nice. I have always liked that body style of the Road Runner the best. I think I would probably order a 2010 Challenger RT in white and and do my own Vanishing Point clone… I would just try to avoid running it into bulldozers like he did.

Nice… I like the idea of new colors… I actually really like all the brightly colors Chargers running around. So tired of everyone driving silver and black.

Plymouth Prowler colors anyone?

C’mon Dodge! Bring back the Vitamin-C Orange color that used to be on the Superbirds! That would sure stand out.

This must be the justification of the recent price inflation. Still nice regardless.

I think the concept of these old colors is a goodone, but in practice… its not the 70s anymore, you can’t get away with everything. I saw a purple Charger last week, and it just didn’t seem right in this day and age. I think only women would buy it. But if you don’t like it, don’t buy it, right?

What I want to see if Rallye Wheels, not those Magnum rims on the Classic. RALLYE RIMS are the classic rims!!

Wait a minute… I also see they have YELLOW for 2010! Now that is my color.

Sweet! I’ll call it the Kansas State University (Harvard of the Plains) Edition!

This is nothing new from Chrysler – like Szabla said, the Prowler had it – and so did the PT Cruiser. They begged me to buy a purple PT back in ‘02 and I laughed at them.

Vikings fans will rejoice everywhere…undefeated and new wheels to boot.

What was that from A(hole)4(u)? Boyfriend got violent? Poor masshole.

I think purple was gay color in 90’s? No? Can someone (most likely A(hole)4(u) ) verify or deny?

It is also official color of NYU. If anyone interested.

If I am not mistaken the Prowler Purple and the purple available on the PT Cruiser was not anything like the Hi-Impact plum crazy purple. Although, I have seen a couple 2006 (I think) Charger Superbee/Daytona’s in Plum Crazy Purple. I still prefer the few I have seen in Sub-Lime Green.

Unfortunately yes what referring to purple being more for people that are not straight was common thought. I remember them talking about that on Politically Incorrect with Bill Mahr. It was brought up because of the conversations on the teletubbies. That was a funny show.

^^ Polictiaclly Incorrect I should say was a funny show. I thankfully never had the opportunity to witness the horror of Teletubbies.

Remeber guys, this is a ‘look at me’ type of car. It needs drastic colors like the old Muscle days.

In a sea of boring, this thing will stand out.

Lol@johnny

Detonator Yellow will be available to order soon. Not sure why they announced yellow before purple though. Hemi Orange is gone. Look for the 6.4 Hemi for 2011 (500+ hp and improved gas mileage over the 6.1)

Personally I like the least loud colors, deep water blue (which i own) and inferno red.

Borat, I’m calling the INS in the morning. Enjoy your last night with our less hairy porn. Just knock it off you pathetic child.

at least there will be new colors of Challengers to look at as they sit unsold on the dealer lots. I’m amazed how slow these are at moving these days. Too bad since they don’t look bad

“… less hairy porn.” Oh I am so stealing that one…

@BuyUSA, the louder the better for me.

That can be true for many other things, too…

Looks good, but I’m not sure if I would buy a purple car. Maybe. I have to say that I love this car, but Chrysler/Fiat needs to shed some weight on it and price it more competitvely against the Camaro and Mustang. That will probably never happen and when sales start to drop off dramatically, they will wonder why. The weight/price issue will be exactly why the car will be doomed in a few yrs. Enjoy it while it lasts folks.

Denverguy, they don’t go as quickly as Camaros (they are a little overpriced) but it depends where you live. The dealership where I got mine sold out of them 2 months ago and they are just now getting some 2010’s in. Down south they tend to go a little quicker i guess, mine came from a Michigan dealer where it sat for 4 months before I got it.

lol beast.

Finally a muscle car for homosexuals.

plum crazty my foot!
ity is purple & it is sweet!

Sub-Lime Green is sweet!

bill snyder is 2 old

Cavalier was a better car dan da cicic & corolla, but was still not very good.

prowler was sweet iun any color, do my fave was purple

denver broncos rule …. until roger gooddeklkl gives us our own team

purtple jus for royalty.;
not (necesarily) homos

That’s just….

An American embarassment

The Mustang however…isn’t.

HINK

“Finally a muscle car for homosexuals”

Uhh.. even a blind homosexual has more sense and taste than that. lol

Translation:

Plum Crazy my foot!
It is purple, and it is sweet!
Sub-Lime Green is sweet!
Bill Snyder is too old.
Cavalier was a better car than the Civic and Corolla, but was still not very good.
Prowler was sweet in any color, though my favorite was purple.
Denver Broncos rule, until Roger Goodell gives us our own team.
Purple just for royalty, not (necessarily) homos.

Disclaimer: I’m not much of an American football fan, so I don’t know if Roger Goodell is correct.

you would be plum crazy to by this from this italian /obama run abortion company

What about Cosmos Purple Metallic in the 2004 Pontiac GTO? I have an ‘06 GTO and an ‘09 Challenger SRT8. Both are equally quick-GTO more fun (stick shift/better visibility/smaller). I have never seen a Purple GTO, unfortunately.

Your wrong JC this car and this Color were definitely meant for each other. This almost makes the later 60’s and early 70’s Muscle car era complete now. I love this color and this car go perfectly together this is definitely the color I would get if I ordered a Dodge Challenger.

@Challyjim.The Challenger does come with a Stick Shift.

Bill Snyder will return the Mighty, Fighting Wildcats to glory (on a short-term basis, again, of course)! Don’t care how old he is, he’ll do it and ride around Manhattan, Kansas in his new Purple and Silver Dodge Challenger! Who’ll last longer, Snyder or Dodge? Next year’s schedule is tough though, with non-conference games against Joe Schlobotnik State University and The South Dakota School for the Deaf and Blind! Go ‘Cats!!!!

@F50. I know the Challenger (’09 and ‘10) can be had as either a 6 speed manual or 5 speed automatic in the R/T and SRT8 models. However, my SRT8 is an automatic and my GTO is a stick. (also came as a 4 speed automatic) Maybe the SRT8 would be more fun as a stick shift. I didn’t want 2 stickshift cars. Sorry for the confusion.

Fantastic Color Truly Beautiful !

The 6.4L motor is coming and a new 5/6 speed Auto may happen. The dealers here can not keep them on the Show room, The get the very same MPG as the Ford SHO but it has a HEMI !

The Eco Boost engine is less powerful and gets the same fuel mileage as the more powerful V8 HEMI

-Sarge

i like the challengers…theyre lakin in the performance category, yes…but theyre fast enuff and can sit 5 full adults thats alot…while the camaro sits like what? 2 full size midgets lol..idk bout the mustang so cant say

Challenger,,,,,,the best looking of the retro muscle cars. I still have my 06 300SRT8 I bought new, what a great car it is. Now, the new SRT8 Chally….when the larger Hemi is available and 6 speed, I may be temped.

I don’t like how the plum crazy looks on the new challenger in the pictures may be it will look better in person. I do love the plum crazy that fades to dark blue on the original muscles cars even if it is after market i would love to see it as an option stock.

I cant wait for the 6.4L, i hope they find a way to bring the price down a bit on the r/t and srt8, 3500 of the r/t and 2-3k or the srt8. they need to have the r/t less then the Camaro ss because the Camaro is the faster car for around the same price even if the challenger is bigger.

Cool!

But are they going to offer a “Pistol Grip” shifter to go with the “plum crazy” option?? They need all the buzz they can get right now.

they already have the pistol grip shifter with the manual now.

Is a white interior optional? You gotta have a white interior with a purple car.

they should bring back the coronet…similiar to the challenger..but shorter and more light weight..that way if your looking for a muscle car but like alotta room you go with the challenger or if you want just a muscle car rocket you go with the coronet..anyone agree?

I like it.

Wish they could keep the look and make it competitive with the Camaro performance-wise.
