- In response to your first sentence, Exactly!!
And the same holds true for Camaro and Challenger. And, to a lesser degree, Mustang. The car has to be tied to the glory days of that model.
- Chrysler purposely held back production of the Challenger. They targeted it's production to be a certain small percentage of total LX production. Simple as that.
And it seems Chrysler has relaxed that a bit as they are selling way more Challengers lately; the monthly numbers are much higher than they used to be.
