Q: American cars are the laughing stock of the industry?
Why is the Challenger being released now by Chrysler? With gas at $4.50 per gallon and Americans cutting back on driving why is this car being released? It is a 6.1 Liter V-8. This is not the 1960's but 2008. The chart is below. This car is over-priced and too big. My next car will be Japanese built. American Auto makers just don't get it!

A: Do you honestly think gas prices matter to car enthusiasts?
I know I personally do not give a shit as long as it doesnt reach $7.00 a gallon or more, I love cars..
They are selling it because it will sell
and it will sell well...
