I was told that it will be released in 1 year, at low production.
The thing is that this will debuy at NAIAS in January with the Camaro.

Still has that 'concept' in some ways but very production looking in other aspects. I think when it goes into production, the front end that everyone is criticizing about will be restyled in order to conform to North American front end bumper regulations.
More info: A new concept coupe to be shown at the Detroit auto show in January will take the name of Challenger. The long-expected two-door will take on the Ford Mustang directly with a chassis derived from Chrysler's 300C/Magnum twins, along with a 425-hp version of the HEMI V-8 in the most thrilling versions. Chrysler is expected to show the car as a concept at the show, but insiders suggest the vehicle will be in production as early as 2009 on a new version of the 300C platform. Chrysler has only offered this official sketch of the concept prior to the January auto show debut, but these spy shots were taken last week as the vehicle was prepared for its auto-show debut. Stay tuned for more information on the Challenger as TCC previews the Detroit auto show on December 15th.
I take it that we will see a 350 HP in a regular Challenger and a 425 HP in the SRT model.

at this point the Challenger is not approved for production even. If it does get approved for production, it will be tough to get it going within a year. I'm sure it is possible, however they haven't prepared at all for its production.
as for the Camaro......it may or may not be at Detroit at NAIAS! When i asked someone from the GM Advanced Design team about the Camaro, he gave a pretty negative response regarding it....but then again, maybe he was just tricking me cos he knew i'd relay the info to you guys. LOL |
It is gonna be at NAIAS, no if ands or buts!

Mopar put out some very hot looking designs in the late 60's and early '70's. The old Challenger front end was cool looking then and still cool now. Where the Mustang, especially the V-6 appeals to women, this car has macho written all over it.

I hope they offer a V6 version as well... Then it'll be just like the original, with a huge range of engines. The V6 versions might suck when they're first released, but wait 20 years until you're lookin for a good-condition SRT8... instead you could just swap out a V6

I loved the concept Mustang - but the production looks too much like it was committee finished for old ladies.
If the Challenger looks like this when going on sale, I'll buy one - but we know it'll end up looking all softened and committee adjusted and focus-group altered.

/\/\ exactly, that always happens in the concept to production transition, so i wouldnt expect much... concepts are made to impress, paying a lot of attention to details, and then comes mass production

Outside looks great, inside looks like it's going to be cheap-ass. I think the styling cues of this Challenger have more chance to survive as the Mustang Concept had....only thing I really see them changing are the backlights....
