   Interesting to hear Michael’s comments about the diversion from some of the “purity”. I may be reading into it but I sensed there were a couple elements left off the production version that he might feel should have been there…

   PISTOL GRIP SHIFTER!! Just to name one.

   Spy photos of the Challenger’s interior have been posted on allpar.com.

   If these photos are accurate, it looks like the entire dash and guages were lifted directly from the Charger. While I like the Charger’s interior, I was expecting something much more…something unique for the Challenger- not a clone from another model!

   Very disappointing!!

   No 08 Challenger at the St. Louis show either. But really it would not make sense to have the “Concept” car at any of the shows when the “real” car will be at the Chicago show in a week or so. (Feb 8th I think). I have an 08 on order and think they look pretty good, but I honestly liked the Concept “Cuda” that was shown on Barrett-Jackson alot better. I’m a shaker hood kinda guy. But I think it was wrong of them to show the cuda in a better time slot then the challenger had. And it was close to the same color, which did’nt help either. Think that was FORDS doing since they sponsored the event?

   Whats the deal? I\’ve been to two Houston Auto Shows,And still no CHALLENGER. Im very dissappointed,Everybody else seems to have there cool cars CAMARO,FJ CRUISER,G8,Even Ford has 5 or 6 MUSTANGS,and DODGE has the same old Lame Crap Charger Cop Cars.WOW.Even TOYOTA had a NASCAR and a CRAFTSMAN TRUCK.But Wheres the DODGE CHALLENGER? Up someones butt in CHICAGO.IF this car is coming out in 2008 should\’nt you have more than a couple? Do you think you can talk and not show and still sell it? Probably so but that is UNACCEPTABLE for me.I WILL WAIT AND BUY A CAMARO for less and Blow the doors off the INVISABLE CHALLENGERS………………

   I know that this is a minor point, but why did you place the windshield washer jets in the middle of the hood tape stripe? Why couldn’t you concel them in the wiper well??

   Alan, Last week I saw the spy photo of the 2009 Challenger interior. I know that some compromises had to be made in bringing the concept to production, but the console and temperature guages look very cheap- not something we would expect on an SRT or R/T Challenger.

   I wonder if they used the Ram in the AFLAC comercial as a model for the emblem? NAAAAAAAAAAA (snicker)

    I agree, trash the Ram’s head. It could’nt look worse if it was a Ram’s Butt. (ha-ha)

    I had a 1973 340 Challeger. I messed up the hood on it and had it replaced. They used the old D O D G E letters so I have brand new Letters to put on my brand new Challenger! I am waiting. 14 days to see the real one.

    dodgechallenger.com is taking a poll about the infamous rams head. It is currently running 90% AGAINST.

    See: http://www.dodgechallenger.com/forums/m_22031/mpage_3/tm.htm

    Listen to your customers. Get rid of it!!

    Will the hood scoops be functional on the SRT8 and R/T models?

    PS - Please kill the Ram head, don’t make us deface our brand new cars..

    I agree…the Ram’s head should be replaced with the traditional D O D G E across the front.

    Never too late to kill a sticker.

    Please make the RAM removeable to allow us to place D O D G E on the Challenger Hood! Seriously, the ram TAKES AWAY from the fantastic front. Its not too late. (Unless you designed the hood for a sticker insert, \”sigh\”)

    Where is a marketing department when you need one? Who do I have to call? Thanks in Advance.

    Well, the #0001 challenger sold for 400k last night on barret-jackson. the cuda prototype only did 130k or so. the announcers leaked out that the new challenger is very similar to the proto; not that we didnt already know.

    Thanks for the videos! It’s great to see some insight on the development of a new model like this one. Great job guys!

    I won’t be long now and we’ll all see the new Challenger!

    Is it possible to option out the Ram head? It ruins the entire front end look of the car. I’d hate to take parts off my new car on day ONE!

    Dodge can keep the numbered placque on the dash of the 2008 SRT8’s.
    I’d like Mike and Alan to sign the Owners’ Manual of my 2009 R/T.
    I wonder if that’s possible.

    I have seen several close-up spy shots of the production version. You guys did us proud! Can’t wait to park an SRT Challenger in my driveway!! Just one thing…why didn’t you deep six the rams head emblem on the hood? No one likes it!!
