Chrysler introduced its full lineup of the Sirius-equipped 2009 Dodge Challenger model lineup - the Dodge Challenger SRT8, Challenger R/T and Challenger SE - with pricing starting in the low $20's.
Aside from the obvious muscle-car requirements: a monstrous 6.1L 425hp HEMI in the SRT8, and a 5.7L 370hp HEMI in the R/T - the cars are packed with technological advances on the inside, which Sirius is a part of.
Inside the 2009 Dodge Challenger you'll find an available MyGIG multimedia audio and entertainment system, with built-in navigation; "UConnect" Hands-free Bluetooth for voice-activated communication with cell phones; and of course, Sirius Satellite Radio.
Similar to what I said about the Genesis Coupe, owners of the Dodge Challenger are very conscious about having all the features activated and operating in "their baby" - so they'll, more than likely, be an instant subscriber conversion.

Note the prominent Sirius logo on the radio, do you really think Dodge Challenger owners would allow themselves to not have the service activated?
That's a beautiful car on the outside, and I'd love to have one if it weren't for that gas guzzling engine (I assume it's a gas guzzler. But for some reason, the interior doesn't seem to do the exterior justice. Am I wrong?
The second picture looks a little better than the first but then again it is probably because it is a stick shift which makes it look good. Ever see a corvette with an automatic transmission? Makes it look super cheap.
The dash board looks pretty cheap though.
This is a nice looking car. I agree that the HEMI is sexy, but not sure how well it will sell. Early adopters will go for it, but, given Chrysler's history, rebates will soon be placed on these and then they'll be a bargain.
I really hope they limit production to keep margins high and allow the company to survive. Please don't flood the rental market with these.
It would be nice for Chrysler to survive as a stand alone company.
If chrysler doesn't survive then we are back to "The Big 2" all over again like the last 10 years. Not good
All any car company needs to do to make a profit is cut production. There are too many dealers, too many employees, too much supply and not enough demand. Look at the MINI for example. Virtually everyone who buys a new MINI Cooper orders their car completely customized and waits one to four months for the car to be built and delivered. There's no negotiation, no rebates, no 0% interest, and no complimentary 100,000 mile warranty.
