From what I have been told, the ultra-high prices are just BS... I was told it would be very competitive with the Mustang & Camaro!

Check out this thread:

Right now rumors are just that... probably won't know exact prices until late in the year... hopefully before the Chicago Auto Show unveiling!

WTF?!? This car was supposed to be "affordable", a mustang/camaro rival. I hope that price is a gross overstatement.

Affordable by whose definition?  Chrysler's with their easy lease plan?  I don't ever recall it being stated that it would be affordable and I guess I just sort of figured that if the Hemi 300 and SRT Charger were priced where they are and this is supposed to be a halo car for those... 50k sounds about what i figured.

guys, according to the link that was provided they said that the car would be same price has the new mustang gt.  20-35 grand, but I'll believe it when I see it

I don't believe it either.  And after the dealers get done tacking on their "if you want the first one" fees...

"none of these cars have been "presold" ... they are not even in the order bank yet and there is no allocation yet. about august september time frame you will be able to place an order. good luck getting one, it took a year for them to build and ship my 300c srt-8, and i co-own the dealership!"

I don't want to preach, but I told you guys months ago it's a 40k plus car. this info came from an insider DCX employee.  Remember he also said the 99 Charger concept would have retailed in the 80k range because of the sheet metal stamping.  Besides, if this car gets a fixed B pillar (like it now seems to be getting) you lost me as a customer reguardless of price. I know this sounds trivial but thats my opinion.

Production constraints?  Crash test issues?  Cost issues?  Trevor Creed feels it's a better look?

IMO, it looks kind of weird in those pictures.  Doesn't look as proportionate as the concept, may be the angles.

Alright, you guys wanna laugh.  i went to a dodge dealer here locally and asked about the new Chally.  The dealer told me that the car will be a hot seller when it comes out and is going to sell for 5 grand above sticker and I will need to put down a deposit if I wanted one....I told him he should join dodgecharger.com.  What I should've done is  :nutkick:
