No manual transmission?
I looked on Dodge's site and it doesn't look like there's going to be a manual tranny option for the V6...are they serious? I won't be able to get a Challenger for a couple to four years yet (just traded my Ram in on an 09 Toyota Matrix for the wife and can't afford another brand new car yet) so I have the benefit of browsing a used Chally market etc, but if I buy new I was going to go with the 3.5 SE for the much lower entry level costs.
I love Mustangs as well and was planning on getting an 05+ GT as my next car, but then I saw Dodge finally got their pricing up on the Chally and I'm willing to take the hit in performance for the 3.5 because the Challenger looks so damn good. I seriously have not wanted a car so bad since I turned 16.
Guess I'll wait and see, an auto tranny could be a deal breaker for me. There'll probably be lightly used R/Ts in my price range by then (fingers crossed), but they better be decent on gas or I'll stick with the 3.5. I know the Hemi Chargers are getting similar gas mileage to their V6 counterparts so here's hoping.
