Well, the prices are out now.....we'll have to wait a few months for the car

I assume the production version will be officially launched at the Detroit show in January.

Hope the interior is better than the nasty horrid plastic one that's in the Charger

Just a quick update re Challenger- my Dodge dealer in Georgia emailed me to tell me that two allocations had been sold off inter dealer- one for $70k over list and the other $50k over list!!! This is obviously bad news for all of us who are dying to have one over here as premiums will be huge initially. My advice is lock in the exchange rate now and sit back for 12 months before buying, be warned of dealers promising delivery of these early- it will not happen.
