Default 2008 Dodge Challenger????

I heard a rumor about this at the local Mopar speed shop, does anybody know if there is any truth to it?

I've heard some stuff about it, but they seem like hopes, not rumors.

true. i was just saying it needs to have all of those features to make me feel better about the charger- because knowing chrysler they would come out with a two door car called challenger and make it a v6 fwd which would be dumb. i love chrysler but i have to admit when it comes to bean counting i think they screw up quite a bit. i wouldnt put it passed them making a new car thats 2 door and fwd, when they could have saved money by making a 2 door on the charger platform- which would be more desirable, but then they would come up with some lame *** excuse of why the car is onlly a v6 fwd.

I think Dodge is convinced the Charger is its 'muscle' model.

Most of the Challenger business is just internet scuttlebutt.

Some have theorized that the Challenger might just be re-badge of the Mitsubishi Eclipse compact/pony car. In essence it would replace the Stratus coupe, which I think is a very underappreciated car, especially by Dodge fans.

The more you look into this LX based Challenger rumor, the more you will see that the references to 'facts' just loop back to some guy with hope in his heart, tapping on the keyboard like all the rest of us.

The Stratus coupe is not appreciated by Dodge fans because it is not a Dodge. It is an underpowered Mitsubishi with a Dodge nameplate on it. I bet a decent vehicle will come out called the Challenger. The Germans understand the value of some of Chrysler's old names and the Hemi, Magnum, 300 and Charger are probably just the start.
