A4 and Challenger Debut Today

Among the many models debuting at this week's Chicago Auto Show is the 2008 Audi A4 Special Edition, which Autoblog calls "an obvious model run-out push in advance of the new A4's arrival." The model comes with an extra equipment package featuring standard 17-inch wheels, a complimentary one-year subscription to SIRIUS Satellite Radio, and heated leather seats on Quattro-equipped models.

Dodge also officially unveiled its new Challenger, a throwback to the retro muscle car. "So how's it really look? Just as good as in the photos," reports Autoblog. "Better even. The lines are so simple that you realize you haven't missed anything when you get up next to it." Dodge has announced some of the Challenger's performance specs, including a 0-to-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 170 mph. According to Leftlane News, pricing for the Challenger STR8 (the first of the Challenger models to debut) starts at $37,995.
