Sebring Convertable
Sebring Convertable”
Blogging sites, car and auto shows have exaggerated the concept Dodge Challenger to the point that one might think that the car is almost ready for DCX roll off an assembly line. To say that the prototype is well received is an understatement – quite frankly if the Challenger was on sale today the waiting list is long months. Such is the demand for a retro car that takes its styling cues from the '71 Challenger.
In its stands, the car will be built as DaimlerChrysler has given its blessing to the new Challenger. However, the Challenger is more than three years of courses manufacturing, and is likely to be released sometime 2009 as a 2010 model. Yes, the wait will be difficult for many, but it is such as advertising performance, then the wait will be definitely worthwhile.
Some people are against the revolution retro entire car. Quoting that Detroit is back in time to make cars in question is testimony to the misery of each automaker. On the contrary, I believe that many models taken under consideration or already in our streets is a clear testimony of Detroit finally listening to customers: we want cars that are unique and we want to achieve exactly the way they say they will pursue. No hood scoops false, no model name announced slap on a car that pales in comparison to the original. No, I do not want to build the original model, we want to build the original model better. Take the elements of style and run with them and integrate modern technologies to improve the original design. That's all we ask.
So what can fans expect when you take charge of their Challenger? Well, as I said the car is still at the planning stage, but what I gathered from various sites is as follows:
Updated Platform – If you like the Mercedes based LX platform currently used to run the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum and Dodge Charger then the LY platform will also be necessary. DCX plans to change the LX platform for its next generation of vehicles and the LY based Challenger will be one of the many cars built in it. Some have suggested that the LY will be the LX on steroids, what it means.
You have said Hemi? – All main products have optional Mopar Hemi power and the Challenger is no exception. Wait a series V6 with Hemi V8 option for versions performance car. Some have suggested that the 425 hp 6.1L V8 SRT is also available for the Challenger.
Ragtop Regalia – Chrysler says Sebring Convertible will be their only offer, but that leaves Dodge dealers without hood of a car on the market [of the Viper, of course]. Despite this low information, find a convertible Challenger to produce one or two years after the debut of the car. Heck, if DCX does not build a bodybuilders and after-sales will work for them. You can bet that Dodge dealers will make these arrangements if DCX does.
Yes, the Challenger will not be in the showrooms new car short term. For those of us waiting with "some suspicion" we must console ourselves with the many blogs, sites, and car shows exaggerate car. Apart from that, imagine your shiny new Challenger stopped at a traffic light with a Mustang on one side and a Camaro on the other side …
