Default 8 speed charger, why not challenger?

I see the 4 mpg increase on the 8spd charger, but the dodge site doesn't have an option for the 8 spd in the challenger. Anyone know why, or when it'll come available?

Thanks!

Early 2015 model year reports are stating all engine combos are available with the 8spd...

2015 model year. It was announced in April. They had to tweak the transmission tunnel to fit the 8 speed. (This led some genius on a leading Mopar site to say that the 2015 Challenger had an "all new platform". It's not.)
