How come sooooo long is this because they're selling heaps or is supply more of an issue.

i was told by the dealer that Mitsubishi only ordered 200 vehicles for Aus. they pretty much got snapped up right away. They then ordered 300, gone, 400, gone. Im guessing they will be a popular car as they seem to be not able to keep up with demand.
Lets hope it will get here a bit quicker.

Anyone else on here ordered one?

Dultim8
Not yet ordered one but was concidering it. I was just waiting to see what after market stuff was going to come on-line. I 'm going to want ARB bull bar, suspension and snorkel as absolute minimum. I woulds say it a couple of months it will all be avilable though.
I have not driven one yet but I'm concerned with its towing ability. I it produced 400NM or torque but was wondering how easy it will pull when you get into really step bitumen hills.
What was your opinion?

[dultim8]

not to sure on that one D4Dazz.
they would not let me drive it for too long, maybe only drove 10kms in it. One thing that i wasnt too happy with was the low range gearing. it seems to go quite fast in low first..
As soon as mine arrives ill let u guys know.

IM hoping that there will be a Challenger section to this site as i think it is at least 50% a trition so us new Challenger owners should still feel welcome on this site.

Maybe a mod can make a new section and we can then start posting in there about detaisl of the Challenger as more come on the market.

What do u guys think?

I'd be happy for that to happen- ultimately lots of parts and accessories will be the same

[dultim8]

so has anyone actually received and own the new Challenger?

My stealer says he cannot sell them because the Pajero special offer with $5k of extras is better value

so has anyone actually received and own the new Challenger?

No but am getting a XLS for five days to test up in the High Country. My belief is it should be a good unit offroad straight out of the box. But of course we will see how it goes.
