I hope Dodge do get that level of success. Driving around Indy and Detroit I see that the cars are selling well, the 300C makes up a fair proportion of cars on the road. But the Benz years have not helped them out a lot, so even the big success of the new Hemi and the cars it goes in is still not enough to put clear water between Chrysler and the recievers.
I am with Jim, I won't be buying one as soon as they come out. But if I stay out here in the US I can see us getting one before too long.

Anyone want to order one?
Yes, the dealers have ordered them. From what I understand, they are only making 4500 this year and they will all be SRT with the 6.1 Hemi.
I work for a dealer and we have ordered two. One is already sold, and I have a Silver SRT left. Here is the best part for at least my dealership. Im not allowed to mark up from sticker! Even though people would surely pay way above. So, if any of you want one at sticker...around 42k...email me quick. This will be sold most likely tomorrow.

Allpar has a dealer invoice posted on their website
http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/challenger.html
FWP= "Factory Wholesale Price."
HB= 1239.00 (Holdback, 3% of MSRP (before Destination) back to dealer)
FFP= 39,627.00 (Family & Friends Program, 1% below invoice)
EP= 38,237.00 (Employee Price, about 5% below invoice)
Thus, the dealer actually pays considerably less than the $40,027 “wholesale price.” In fact, dealers usually pay less than the wholesale price minus the holdback (in this case, $40,027 - $1,239 = $38,788), with both an advertising reimbursement and supplemental floorplan reimbursement. The number of Challenger SRT-8s per dealer is fairly low, and the profit margins will come in handy for those who had to deal with large stocks of Calibers, fewer Ram and SUV sales, and the loss of short-wheelbase Caravans.
The interior is, we’re told, very different from the concept. The radio area is completely different; the console top is the same color but has a different shape, including an iPod valley in front. Gauges are different, and now include large chrome rings around each pod (a late change).
