Why do folks keep saying sales for the Challenger are horrendous? They've sold nearly every one they've built and they STILL are being marked up 5K - $10K in some markets. Even the 2010s are being marked up from what folks are telling me.

Of the dealers around me, I've only found one dealer with Challengers on the lot.

The sales NUMBERS may not be there, but that's not for lack of consumer interest, but more from lack of product availability. I'm curious to see what happens with 2010 models now that they're producing them in decent numbers.

You can't sell a lot of cars when you only make 39,000 units total for a production year.

I chuckle when I hear folks at car shows saying they bought their 2010 Camaro as an investment collector car. They definitely picked the wrong car for that.
