Default 2009(10) Dodge Challenger Is Officially A Go

Dont know if any of y'all know this already, but its official. DMX has announced that the LY Platform, an evolution of the current LX platform, (which the charger, magnum and 300 are based on) will be lead off the line by the Challenger coupe. More or less it will have the same options as the current generation vehicles, and the 3.5L V6 will remain the standard engine despite talks of making the 5.7 standard on it. The SRT version with the 6.1 will come roughly one model year after the base model. The concept looks great, however its likely that hardly anything about this concept will actually make it into production knowing DMX. Anyways thats all I know for now. I'll update if I learn anything else.

Something for the two door guys I suppose. Isn't it kind of late though for a new muscle car?

Looks like our DaimlerChrysler insider, Zepia, was correct.

DMX? what the hell do they have to do with the auto industry.


that would be awesome if the 5.7 was standard. now that would be a real muscle car with a standard hemi engine.

Well he is off by a few years though. I believe he meant dcx nick, not dmx. I don't think dmx really cares what dcx is doing!

I don't believe there is an official concept. Maybe I'm wrong...

all i have seen thus far were drawings by hopeful owners.
i would like someone else to back up this information.

heres what i found...take this as you will...its 5 years away..by that time, factory 4 cylinder cars will be building 350hp, and the musatng wil be leaps and bounds above that...go figure..dodge dropped the ball again

and this is from yet another site: ******** is reporting that Dodge is going to show the Challenger concept car at the 2006 Detroit ... Challenger on next-gen LX platform to be called LY.

That's one of the better pics I've seen. Alot of them try to combine old with new and it just doesn't work.
