Check it out. Sounds like R/T is very healthy and has 6 spd option as well as limited slip and EPS shut off on manuals...COOL

Makes me wonder when the 6.1 Hemi will get a redesign. Would be nice to find another MPG and another 25-50HP.
I am glad I have decided to keep my Hemi Ram until the 10 model year, give them more time, whether it is a better 6.1 Challenger or a Hybrid Ram.

They need to offer the 4.0 l 6 with a 5 or 6 speed manual and get 30 mpg hiway for 25,000 or less than they will sell enough to make money on them . jmo.

I actually like the slight changes they made to the interior for the Challenger...I dont know what it is exactly, but I think it looks great in this car (except that steering wheel, something "sporty" and retro please Dodge??).
If they can keep this thing priced right (both SE and R/T), Dodge may actually have a descent seller on its hands. I still cant believe the (estimated) $10,000 price difference for not much extra performance though...

Exactly, that is why the 6.1 needs a redesign like the 5.7 has. Plus with more 5.7s running around there will be more aftermarket options.
I will say this based on pics though, the interior will be comparted to the new Dodge standard (09 Ram) and fall short. Once again this is based on what I see in the pics.

The interior changes, from what I can see, are that they made the upper half of the trim gray, as well, instead of making it that tan color...

The Changes are very subtle...like the center stack is shorter, the dash area around the gauge cluster is "smoother", the center HVAC knobs and general layout have changed, the center console has been changed, and thats all I've really noticed. Like I said, very subtle and far from earth shattering, but still they make it looker better then previously.

LOL That's all they do is take shit and claim it as their own. And then they cry and whine when they arent properly represented on other forums.

your opinion isnt a bad one, but a few things to think about...
first, with an I6, there is a completely different engine bay layout needed...and i dont think that an american company has offered an I6 car since the 70s. V6s are "the thing"...
second, the 3.5L is a good engine. we had a 300 with the 3.5, and on a long trip, we got up around 30mpg, and we got much better mileage than the 2.7L magnum or charger that we had previously...also, the automatic backed 3.5L 300 put a hurting to my stratus rt coupe...its a pretty stout engine. i think that if they could squeeze a little more power out of it, the 3.5 would be a formidable opponent for the base stang and camaro, but it NEEDS a manual transmission.
