Yeah, I would too, but there is no way in heck I am going to pay the "adjusted market value" sticker that each and every dealer is going to ask for them for the first year or so. I am just going to wait until someone finds out that they: can't afford the insurance/gas/car seat don't fit in the back/wife wants a minivan routine then snag one, or the 2009 Camaro-still split on that decision

I like the Camaro but to me there's no comparison.
I'm seriously considering the Challenger but with the high cost of fuel I may hold out on a new car for a few yrs to see if someone will come out with an appealing electric car with some distance to a charge. There's the Tesla but 98K for a base price ain't cuttin it for me.

How would you feel about the Charger if you could check an option box and get the upcoming V-6 Cummins slated for the 1/2 tonners and Durango/Dakotas?

My local dealer told me the first year's production would sticker for $47K but would sell for $20-30K over that. So much for me getting the only car that's made me excited since I was a teenager.

So, you want to drive something with a lousy suspension, scary handling at speed, with unpleasant ergonomics? I've got a first-gen with your name on it!!

And I wont mark it up $20-$30K.

Ok you got me there!!
I was really leaning towards the Challenger but I may keep driving my 92 corolla and my 98 intrepid till I see an electric that catches my eye. Or until one of them bites the dust.
