Chrysler needs a car that can sell and beat its competition.

You kind of missed my point. THe people buying the cars aren't buying them for what they will do on a track or what some magazine says is best. The Challenger was NEVER meant to be a high volume car. When it came out the goal was around 30k per year, not 100k+ the Mustang and Camaro. The Challenger is basically an image car to bring people into dealerships. On the LX platform, the Charger and 300 are the mainstream sellers. The Challenger does what it is meant to do, be an image cars, and the limited colors IMHO are to get people in showrooms as much as sell cars. Before the conentrate on the CHallenger, they need to work on their high volume cars, a quicker CHallenger is not going to save them. They are supposed to have fully revised Avengers and Sebrings on the lots by the end of the year, that's a start. Right now they are broke and can only do stopgaps until they get the Fiat Platform cars integrated and that is going to take a few years.
