Chrysler has already disclosed pricing for the Dodge Challenger SRT8, which will start at $37,995 — including destination — with Dodge already accepting orders. Customers will have a choice of three colors — Black, Silver or HEMI Orange — with all three coming with carbon fiber racing stripes. Deliveries will begin in the spring.

The first offering of Challenger SRT8s will come with a numbered dash plaque, with all using an automatic transmission.

Pricing for other Challenger models has yet to be revealed, but an announcement is expected to be made sometime in mid-2008.

Options

Customers who shell out the cash for a Challenger SRT8 — including the $2,100 gas-guzzler tax — will receive a car that is pretty much fully loaded. Only three options will be available: a set of summer tires instead of all-season rubber for $50, a MyGig Multimedia Infotainment system with navigation for $890 and a power sunroof for $950.

Decked out in silver, the GT-R’s aggressive styling and smooth looks in the front and circle taillights in the rear put together an aerodynamic package that screams high performance. In Nissan’s words, it “evokes the lines of a well-trained athlete.”

With a lap time of 7:38 on the world famous Nürburgring track in Germany, the GT-R logged in one of the fastest times by a production-spec vehicle to date. The supercar is powered by an all-new, hand-built, VR series 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that produces 480 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission and fast shifting can be done via paddle shifters.

But Nissan wanted to emphasize the GT-R isn’t just a car for the track; it’s suited for daily driving as well. There is seating for four passengers and trunk space for two golf bags or suitcases. A cockpit-style instrument panel features a video-game-inspired multifunction display that can give the driver 11 pages of information from acceleration to steering angle to brake pedal pressure.

The GT-R will arrive in showrooms during June 2008, with a starting price of $69,850 and $71,900 for the premium version. With performance stats showing 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of more than 190 mph, most will think of those numbers as champagne stats at a beer bargain.

Over 1million car lovers expected to attend, but they aren’t the audience the industry hopes to impress.

The spectacle that is the automobile exposition is a breathtaking demonstration of the organizational skill, planning, logistics, design, vision, ambition and piles of money possessed by carmakers, which in a matter of days have once again erected a 760,000-square-foot temple in which to worship the four-wheeled vehicle.
All this, though, is not for you, dear reader. It’s for us, the media.

Trucks usually fall under the category of commercial vehicles and with the increase in their sophistication; it is no surprise that their costs are as big as their size. This is one  of the primary reasons why people generally go for used trucks as these cost not only much less than their new versions but are also very durable and can be put to the same use. Paying for the truck requires the user to do a lot of research on his needs and his affordability. Some factors which increase the price of the truck are:
