OntarioStreetCar reports that the Challenger arrives in March as a 2008 model.

That first run of 5500 cars will all be 6.1L SRT8s equipped with automatic transmissions priced at $38,000.

Starting in July, the MY09 Challenger will begin production, and the range will expand to include the 3.5L V6, the regular 5.7L HEMI, and of course, the SRT8 with the 6.1 HEMI.

And finally, the best news of all: on the '09 Challenger, both HEMI flavors will be available with the T56 6-speed manual transmission.
