    Just thinking about it and it may not be an LY after all. I haven't heard anything about new tooling for a new platform. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

    It was supposed to be the "LY" platform but you're right C, I haven't heard anything about it either.

    The LC from what I can understand (being of simple mindedness) is a shortened LX platform. The LY, apparently, will be a whole new platform for the next gen LXs.

    Time to snatch pebble from hand... That means the early Challengers are going to be different and thus probably more valuable.

    Looks like that settles it. What is an LC? Isn't it built in Canada like the rest of the SRT8s?

    It's simply a shortened LX, and it will come off the same assembly line in Brampton.

    08s are LX. Supposedly, LY is the platform designation for the NEXT generation. That would be a whole "new look" vehicle lineup, I imagine.

    Naaaah. I just have too much time on my hands, and read a bunch of stuff. No idea whether any of the stuff I read is TRUE, mind you. But I'm happy to share it, none-the-less. So take what I say with a grain of salt, as they say. HaaaHAAA. :what:
