I don't see how Ford can justify keeping the 4.6 when their NA V6 engine will put out over 300 hp in the next model year.

I'd love to see Challenger put on it's own Chassis, but I just don't think that will happen given Chrysler's condition unless Fiat has something in the background. I honestly don't know enough about Fiat's whole line up, but they do own quite a few companies so they may have something in the works, and Mercedes keeps squeezing Chrysler, so that may motivate Chrysler to figure something out.

The interior on the Challenger is IMHO, just OK. It's not terrible in any way-but it's not great except for the seats. It's got the best seats in the class.
