""The 2008 Dodge Challenger LY cars (and the 2006 Challenger concept car)

The Challenger is now official and should be built at Brampton, pending union agreement to a more flexible contract and probably the usual government tax exemptions. Chrysler announced production would start in 2008 at 50,000 units per year - a more generous number than some had expected. The car is expected to cost Chrylser about $145 million, a remarkably small amount for a new car, because the factory is already flexible and tooling can largely be shared with other LX models.

According to several sources, Chrysler is trying to decide on which strategy to follow: a high-price, low-volume run, or a high-volume, lower-price run. Also in flux is the question of engines - restricting to just the Hemi, or allowing both the Hemi and at least one V6. Then there is the question of whether a manual transmission will be used and, if so, whether an automatic will also be available.

I'd like to see more of a front and rear bumper visible. It looks too much like its got a skirt or something on it that just drops down from the bottom of the taillight panel and grille. Maybe a thin black bumper for the front? That would look classy in my opinion.
