Auto Show - No Vipers

[SYNFULL]

I just came back from the Phila Auto Show hoping to see the 2008 SRT Coupe. To my dismay they had no Vipers at the show. I was told that the dealer that was supposed to supply them didn't come through. Last year I went hoping to see the 2006 Coupe and they only had the convertible. I guess the Viper is dead as far as they are concerned.

Yep..same at the DC Auto show, which is supposed to be one of the bigger in the nation. They didn't have a Challenger either.

Best cars there were the Charger SuperBee (though I don't think I like Petty Blue on that car) and the Caliber SRT4, which looks to be a kick-butt car.

Disappointed not to see the Viper for sure.

Thats funny,I was at the Baltimore Auto Show on Saturday and the Dodge rep. told me that the ACR was in Philadelphia not in Baltimore because the shows overlapped.

Realize that for many shows it is up to the dealers to bring the cars and Chrysler may or may not be involved. Some will send out a few concept cars to spice up the show, but the production vehicles are supplied by local dealers. I think it was the 2003 Kansas City Auto Show that had one Viper - a USED GTS with a CB antenna on it! And it still drew a huge crowd...

My guess is that many of these 2008 shows may lack a Viper as the dealers are generally delivering them to the new owners as soon as they arrive. Oversupply this ain't.
