Dodge Challenger SE Rallye Edition
The old 4-speed automatic transmission is one of the weaknesses of the Dodge Challenger SE. At last Dodge has decided to provide the Challenger SE an extra gear by giving it the 5-speed automatic found in the V8 models. Dodge also announced its latest Rallye Edition for those who have a penchant for racing stripes. The Challenger SE 3.5-liter V6 unit with the 5-speed auto transmission generates the same 17mpg city and 25mpg highway just like the previous transmission. The new transmission comes with an aggressive first-gear ratio for remarkable acceleration, according to Dodge, but that remains to be seen. The Challenger SE Rallye is the first V6 Challenger model to come with accented dual stripes and the first to come with stripes on the deck lid. The car will come with seven exterior paint color finishes and two stripe-color arrangements. It also has a throw-back engine cover, a fuel filler in chrome, interior accents of micro carbon and Rallye wheels at 18 inches. The 2009 Dodge Challenger SE Rallye is priced beginning at $36,490 and will be built at Chrysler's Canadian Brampton Assembly plant when production begins this coming April.
