2013 Order Banks supposedly open today ...

[dougmac]

... for both Charger & 300 and production is scheduled to start 07/23/12 according to the following link:

2012 Order Cutoff and 2013 Start-Up Dates

Funny how no information on the minor 2013 model changes have leaked out yet.

I'm going to stop by my dealer this weekend and see if they can really build & price a 2013 SXT AWD.

Where and when did --RS-- post this info previously ??

Any idea on what the "six new paint colors" are ?? The 2012 color selection was pretty borring IMO unless you were buying a SRT8 or Super Bee.

I've been looking for this kind of info for months and would think I would have ran across it ... thanks for adding it here !!

From Allpar:

300S and SRT8 gets the same black roof option as the Charger. Rumor has it the line is simplified into 5 trims: 300, 300S, 300C, 300C Luxury and SRT8. All models standard with leather and V6 Pentastar + 8-speed including the 300C. Standard UConnect + BlueTooth. Optional 5.7 for all but base 300. No word on the 8-speed for 5.7 or 6.4. 300S gets a horsepower bump to 300 on the V6. Beats audio optional on all models, standard on 300S.

SafetyTec split into headlight option group for the SmartBeams and HIDs, and everything else.

New colors rumored to include Granite Crystal, Billet Silver, Jazz Blue and Phantom Black Tri-Coat.

man. I love the look of that new "Mopar 12" 300. My favorite colors. I feel like it was designed just for me.

6-Speed Manual? No? Have to wait for 2014 or see what the Chevy SS brings to the party...Come on Dodge, get with it and make a real Road & Track with a 6-speed. You have all the parts and R&D done, just put it in!!!

Rumor is 6 speed manual is on its way most likely 2014.

[burgz8787]

Ummm, I want flippin launch control...

[karfreek]

IDK. Jay Leno told Ralph in 2011 that the Charger needed the 6-Speed and Ralph hinted it was coming and nothing so far...

I was surprised to see it's more than a base SRT8. But then, the Mopar 12 is fully loaded as is and a fully loaded SRT comes out much more than the Mopar.

Very unlikely, if they are doing it don't expect to see anything until the 2016 total redesign. They'll do it then because the new platform will be shared with other Italian cars that MUST have a stick. So they can get economies of scale out of the 6-speed floor pans and other necessary parts to do it.

Heck, at this rate it'll probably end up being a 7-speed manual. Seriously.

[reveresrt8]

Any word or hints on the supercharged srt8 rumors??
