I read in Car and Driver that they will be here in December. Maybe that means production will start in October for arrival by December?

Default 5 Speed Turbo

Sorry I have been bugging 3 Chrysler dealers almost daily.. Everyone that I have run into so far either doesn't know or does but isn't talking.

A dealer near me showed me their allocation book with one on it when I went in for my recall work.. Supposedly an October build date, which would put it on the lot November/December.
Dealer ignorance doesn't seem to have improved at all....they still don't have a clue.

I went to the local dealer yesterday and looked at the turbos they had there (black,silver and red). The saleman came out and asked if I would like to test drive one - sure why not!!!!!!!!!!! Boy does it get up and move! The only thing I didn't like about the turbos was the black in side, with the carbon fiber panels it's just too dark! I wish they would do something different! My opinion. I asked when the 5 speeds were coming out and they knew nothing! He did say that I could order one no if I wanted to. Tempting but . I will have to wait and see! I did like the get up that it had even with the autostick.

No definite word yet, but they will be worth waiting for. That turbo and a five-speed are the ideal match.

Here in Mexico they are already advertising them in the chrysler site. The base stick turbo is around 19k USD.

You can check them at www.chrysler.com.mx although it is in spanish.
