sounds good to me! now…how long before chevy greenlights the Camaro?

Awesome! Dodge’s new halo car…. curious if CHrysler is gonna jump onto the 0% thing with the announcements as well….

Excellent news!

Cars for Yee Haas! just what we need from the big 3

I prefer this to the Camaro, whereas in original form I preferred the camaro to this. Will it come in purple with a white vinyl top?

Something is Missing….origin!

Excellent!

Camaro is where its at. This would have been cool if Chrysler was a red blooded American brand and not a traitor.

The only brand worth buying is GM, get that through your thick skulls people

I just wish Chevy would move as quickly as this. If chevy had moved witht he speed that dodge did the camaro would already be out.

Can I get one in white? I have a need to haul ass from Colorado to Frisco…

I am so going to save up 30K and deliver it to whichever american car company can deliver me the RWD street machine first.

Chevy or Dodge

Period.

That is my “Challenge” to you, Domestic Car Gods…

Kowalski wins….

/I’m so waiting for the white with black vinyl interior Dodge Challenger VP Vanishing Point Edition®
//Hopefully it has pills in the glovebox
///and leads to encounters with topless biker chicks

After looking at the Camero a little more, I think, 100% that the Challenger gets my money. 6.1L HEMI V8 MOPAR BABY!

Dodge already had all the parts to build this car ready to go since it is on the same platform as Charger, 300C. GM is creating an all new platform and what not, let’s see how quickly they respond.

fantastic news.

and, two doors. (yes, disgruntled charger reference)

and, two doors.

Somebody should work on a ’shop of this thing with a front bumper on it, since that is what the production one will probably have. Also a ragtop, and for fun, the four door version the ‘bean counters’ would rather they build.

/because ‘bean counters’ are teh suck

this is not good news for toyota supra fans!!!!!

The word CONCEPT creates association to something futuristic, or in this case, a classic model rebirth, that has only characteristics of its ancestor, but doesn’t look exactly like it and has bigger engine. This is BS. A 2008 model has to be something new, something fresh. How about investing money for a new idea instead of digging the past? This is addressed to all US automakers: you’re loosing our own market, maybe already lost. Try to build something that is contemporary in terms of design, fuel efficiency, ergonomics, quality and don’t give me the Ethanol ****.

The Camaro will probably be made in Mexico. The only true American made cars today are Toyota and Hyundai.

that has only characteristics of its ancestor, but doesn’t look exactly like it and has bigger engine.

Really? That explains why all of those new-fangled Ford Mustangs are just sitting around the new car lots, not doing anything. Heck, I heard my local FO-MO-CO dealer is offering two for one to get rid of them!!

/sarcasm
//still can’t figure out why ford is going broke

from the WSJ:
“The launch highlights some development and manufacturing advantages that have emerged for Chrysler recently. As part of its restructuring a few years ago, the car maker overhauled the way it designs and manufactures cars to cut time and cost.

The Challenger will be the fourth vehicle produced from the same components used to make Chrylser’s hot-selling 300 sedan. While the first vehicle cost $1 billion or more to develop, the others each cost about a third of that, auto experts estimate. Chrysler will reap other savings because it will build all four of the cars on one production line at a plant in Brampton, Ontario.

Reusing parts also cut the time it takes to develop the car. Chrysler first showed a Challenger concept last January. At the same time, GM presented a concept for its own muscle car, a new Camaro, but that car is still at least two years from production.”

This goes back to my post 2 days ago about DCX’s emerging use of flexible manufacturing.

The one thing that I am confused about: On this timeframe, the Challenger would be on the LX platform… I thought it was going to be an LY?

Like everyone else wasn’t doing that first Mike. Volkswagen was platform sharing way before dcx

ummm, when did I say nobody else does it? dumbass.

did you even read any of what I pasted from the Wall Street Journal? let me re-paste for you.
“The launch highlights some development and manufacturing advantages that have emerged for Chrysler recently. As part of its restructuring a few years ago, the car maker overhauled the way it designs and manufactures cars to cut time and cost.”

is ‘reading comprehension’ not a part of your vocabulary?

btw, nice name… way to hide behind me when making a moronic post.

Shocking! Common is anyone really surprised about this? Of course they were going to produce this car.

dumbass is all you can say when criticised.
Mike when you write the following msinformation..

“As more manufacturers switch to a DCX style of flexible manufacturing, model turnaround becomes less expensive and the breakeven point is dramatically reduced.”
you are suggesting that DCX invented this form of manufacturing technique

DUMBASS you are so pro CHrysler youcan’t even see the truth any more

Mike is a nice name I think I will use it more often

I never, not once, state or imply that DCX created flexible manufacturing. I simply use the emerging practice of DCX as an example.

you are reading WAY too far between the lines to attempt to nail me on something that I never came close to saying.

The WSJ article mimics exactly what I was saying. Or do you consider the WSJ article to also explicitly state that DCX invented this as well?

they better keep it low production because the muscle car market is a sketchy one. GTOs never took off and I guarantee mustang sales will slide off the map soon

I agree with poster # 7!! the Challenger better come out screaming cuz the market is gettin crowed fast! And I would buy the CAMARO over this anyday!

As more manufacturers switch to a DCX style of flexible manufacturing

what does that mean if it is not a deliberate attempt to misinform the reader that dcx created flexible manufacturing, why not say Toyota style as it is more correct

“a DCX style of flexible manufacturing” -me
“The launch highlights some development and manufacturing advantages that have emerged for Chrysler recently.” -WSJ

saying: “the flexible manufacturing as pioneered by DCX…” or “the manufacturing process invented by DCX” is a FAR CRY from using DCX as an example of how the flexible manufacturing process can be successfully implimented.

Try to twist my words all you want, the message is clear… I used DCX as an example…and the challenger is one example within DCX…

I never came close to saying that DCX invented this.

forgot to add: I use DCX as an example, rather than Toyota, as I not familliar with Toyota’s flexible manufacturing capabilities and what platforms and vehicles are involved. If you are, please feel free to enlighten me.

Stop whining at least its not a K Car lol. GM should be ashamed that DCX is beating them to market. Way to come in last place GM, oh and how long were ppl screaming for a Camaro?

I wonder if this means Viper is history. No need for Dodge to have two halo cars.

Viper is getting a *mild* facelift and an extended model year run for the ‘08 MY viper (there is no ‘07 MY). The biggest addition is the switch from the 8.3l to an 8.4l ~650hp engine.

a full redesign is scheduled for a late ‘09 MY release.

so the viper is moving safely up the HP food chain from the Challenger. This is just a cost effective program that has great profit potential.

Right on. The Viper is in a different class entirely, performance and price-wise.

Kudos to DCX…I am going to buy one of these !

cccccccccccccccccwhy does this car looks like its fat and not a muscle car?????????????????????????????

All is right with the world

The GM styling did a better job than their Chrysler counterparts because they made the Camaro retro but they managed to make it a modern classic with updated stance and detailing. The Challenger looks like a blatant copy of the original- DCX designers are lazy. Be prepared to get smoked by the Camaro and Mustang.

who the hell cares were its built, nobody here is pure 100% red blooded american (unless your an indian)

wow, i just thought of this, now that each big 3 has a muscle car, they should race em in NASCAR. dodge with the challenger, chevy with the camaro, and ford with the mustang. there all pretty even, so why not. better than the fusion monte carlo and charger.

The Indians walked over a ancient land bridge that connected Europe and north America. No humans lived in this part of the world for a very long time. If you were born in America or immigrated you are an American, your ancestors are not who you

ASIA and north america.
