Ummm....yeah, it was this design cycle time for the new Ram. What did you want Chrysler to do? They can't shelve a terrific product for 6 mos simply because the market has gone soft. They have supplier contracts, tooling in place, and the old stuff went out of production some time ago.

The sports luxury market better make money - else why even have it?

I think you'll be surprised at how well the Challenger sells. Let's face it, the gas mileage isn't much different than a midsize to large sedan with the V6, and that's what the vast majority of people buy anyway. It's only the rare few individuals for whom these cars are toys that buy the top-of-the-line V8s anyway, and they don't really care about the price of gas for the 2500-5000 miles a year they'll drive it.
