New Dodge Challenger?

I was told by my local dealership this morning that Dodge might be building
a Dodge Challenger; two door only.

Anyone else here this?

" ... Across town, Chrysler is said to be preparing a concept Dodge
Challenger for the '06 Detroit show, to test the market for a proposed
two-door performance car it wants to introduce around 2008-2009 as a
potential competitor to the Ford Mustang."

Chrysler concept: The automaker will unveil a concept coupe derivative
of the Charger sedan at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Like Charger, the concept may resurrect a name from the `60s and `70s
muscle car era — the Dodge Challenger.

While Charger has four doors, insiders at Chrysler demanded Challenger
have two in keeping with the body style favored in muscle-car days.
Challenger also was offered briefly as a convertible.

Insiders insist the concept is meant strictly to test consumer
reaction. A business case hasn't been developed, and it hasn't been
given a production go-ahead.


[Bring back the 300N concept from 2000 you idiots! Anything built on
the LX platform will still look like a truck!]

But if produced, Challenger would be the fourth vehicle sharing the
rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 platform with the Dodge Magnum and
Charger built in Brampton, Ontario, on three shifts.

The plant can build more than 300,000 units and a fourth model would
bring it to capacity while spurring interest in the Chrysler lineup.

 

Thanks for the info.
