I was told by my local dealership this morning that Dodge might be building a Dodge Challenger; two door only.

" ... Across town, Chrysler is said to be preparing a concept Dodge Challenger for the '06 Detroit show, to test the market for a proposed two-door performance car it wants to introduce around 2008-2009 as a potential competitor to the Ford Mustang."

Chrysler concept: The automaker will unveil a concept coupe derivative of the Charger sedan at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Like Charger, the concept may resurrect a name from the `60s and `70s muscle car era - the Dodge Challenger.
While Charger has four doors, insiders at Chrysler demanded Challenger have two in keeping with the body style favored in muscle-car days. Challenger also was offered briefly as a convertible.
Insiders insist the concept is meant strictly to test consumer reaction. A business case hasn't been developed, and it hasn't been given a production go-ahead.
[Bring back the 300N concept from 2000 you idiots! Anything built on the LX platform will still look like a truck!]
But if produced, Challenger would be the fourth vehicle sharing the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300 platform with the Dodge Magnum and Charger built in Brampton, Ontario, on three shifts.
The plant can build more than 300,000 units and a fourth model would bring it to capacity while spurring interest in the Chrysler lineup.
