I would like to buy one but i live in Australia and they would never send them here, they wont even send the charger here we have just got the 300c and we dont even have the turbo vesion oft the PT. But it is looking up with dodge going world wide we are ment to get the caliber when it comes out.
I hope you guys get it! This is a world wide economy and us Americans should definetly send this muscle your way!

well, if the 300C has gotten there, i would think that the charger and the other lx cars would make their way over.

I hope so but the problem is we are right hand drive over here and i havn't heard of them making the Charger Rhd.
Do or are they making it Rhd?

Matt, I'm not trying to be mean, but why are you even here. the only dodge i have ever heard you say anything positive about is the viper. hopeful the next super bias consumer reports doesn't change your thoughts about the viper.

hemi 265, if they are offering a RHD 300c, it is basically the same car, with a different body, so it wouldnt take much effort on their part...hopefully with time, it will make its way down there..

do you guys have magnums?

Just my 2 cents: I will definatly be buying one of these when they start selling for sticker or less. I will not be one of the people that pay $10k over sticker to be the 'first to have one'. Not even a year after the 05 mustang gt debut, they are already going for a little under sticker. Personally I'll wait the 7 or 8 months

I would do anything and everything short of selling my Roadrunner to get the Challenger as shown in concept form. And I am far from being "old" and have been hoping and wishing for something like this since I was 16.

NO we don't have magnums i wish we did i recon they would sell 4 or 5 to 1 compare to the 300c thats on the Australian Market.
They said we were but now we are geting the 300c Touring wagon in about 4 months. We only have a few Chrysler models and Jeep but they have been saying we will get dodge This year i hope. Chrysler Australia have been pushing hard to get the Charger here because Charger has History here too. We had our Aussi Valiant Charger. Our E49 R/T Valiant Charger was the quickest Aussi production car for more then 2 decades. It had a Hemi 265 ci or 4.3 L straight 6 with tripple webbers and poduced 302 BHP and sprinted 0-60 mph in around 6.1 sec, 0-100 in 14.1 and 1/4 mile time in 14.4 not bad for a 6 cylinder car that was sold in 1972.
I have showed alot of people the Challenger concept and they love it they are all saying they want one so i hope they dont chang it to much when it goes into production because they are all saying it looks like a real muscle and they know it's a Challenger.

how are you comparing a 3 series, a elise, and a challenger?!?!?
Sorry, not the Elise, the Exige. It's a v4 but still pulls off 4.4 seconds 0-60. I was comparing them price wise.

but why are you even here.
I've always have asked myself that, but have never been able to answer it. Love maybe? Dunno

It was interesting to see on a Mercury Marauder site the owners talking about how impressed they were with "this new Challenger coming out". Overwhelmingly, the general tone was, "I'd look at a Dodge if they build this one..." not bad.

...and yes, I do own a Marauder, but by far, more mopars.
