Very nice! There's an orange one at our local dealer with an asking price of $52K.

Cool :thumbsup:, my second favourite car after the Camaro..but they should have brought back the Cuda name instead...Jay does a great job endorsing the american auto worker. I hope it $ells well.

Great video. I got the feeling we were being sold something also. I hope it gives the industry a little spike also. I'll bet the dealership was glad to have him. "Over here by the sign mister Leno".

Cool video.

I met up with an orange one this past Saturday on the way to a cruise in. I was in the '67 and watched in the rear view as he came up in the right hand lane. He hit it once when he got up beside me, I guess we were going about 30 or so and it sounded pretty good. Oh I forgot to mention that Wifey was with me and here's her way of thinking that she's keeping me in check, "Don't you race him, you'll win and it will just make him sad." I almost busted out loud, I wouldn't race to start with (might goose it a bit), she was funny. In the end the Challenger pulled up at the next light rolled down his window (he has A/C, I don't) and says I love your car. Thanks, same back at ya and that was that. Oh yeah he pulled into the cruise in as well.

The new Challenger is a beautiful car. I loved them when they were still in the concept phase. The current state of the economy may have an effect on sales, but that is a super sharp car. Chrysler did a great job in capturing that muslcar car era look. Very nice retro looking design. More so than the the new Camaro ... IMHO.

Not sure what's up with the Leno site, but after opening it and waiting a long time for the video to load, never got to it, I got what appeared to be a Cadillac commercial instead, my internet went down. I had to reset my modem twice before my service worked again. Guess I won't try that again.

Leno is sucha cool dude, all the car stuff he does and the support he has for the hobby is great. He's not selling anything but a good time and smiles. I would love to meet him someday. I really think he is one of the great icons and spokesmen in our hobby. Heres to Big Dog :beers:

My favorite was when the sales-guy says the old Challenger was primitive. No @#$%! That's why they couldn't sell 'em.

The challenger is so nice.. The 09 models will be awesome with more colors choices, stripe options, and the manual trans.. Good job Dodge..

Man I like that he didn't mind doing a burnout on a car with 46 miles just for the camera. He wanted to do that bad lol
