Dodge boys go nuts

Exactly. Any of these projects - including Challenger - could easily get the axe as Cerberus Capital Management tries to make good on its promise to get the company back to profitability. Low volume, minimal margin cars like Challenger could easily end up on the chopping block.
Not to mention the hugely favorable public reaction it received. Cancelling a model like the Challenger in the phase of production it is already in would be a horrible and highly unlikely business decision.
The value of a popular iconic halo car brings momentum and brand recognition.

I agree, cancellation is unlikely - and I would hope not - but from everything I'm reading about Cerberus, they're pretty ruthless and plan to revamp a LOT of things.

They're efficient. And are willing to invest in Chrysler, as evidenced by their recent approval of the construction of a new $700 million axle plant. I hope they fire every unionized employee and default on all their pension obligations.

In point of fact, I agree with you. It's time the model was broken and reassembled to operate more in line with global standards.

The Challenger will see the light of day. The investment has been made, and the tooling and pre-production is already done.

But remember that there are plenty of people out there who think everything Ford makes is absolute garbage, too.

Its easy to blame the UAW and its workers for all the woe that detriot experiences, but I cant for the life of me see why people want to see probably 100k or more workers in this country reduced to poverty and thier retirements destroyed all because some weak *** industry leader didn't have the ***** or intelligence to properly negotiate a union contract.
