"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. "

Ohhh I SOOOO hope that they don't do a low volume high price car. Thats
what they have the damned Viper for. If they are going to do this right
they need to compete with Mustang, which is still affordable.
