Welcome Ladybug. If you want an '08 R/T, you may want to think about ordering exactly what you want. You should be able to make an order in about a month, though they will not start building them until August. This fall, black will be a metallic pearl like the rest of the paint colors, and they will be adding a Modern Blue Pearl that will also be available on the R/T. Now is the time to start thinking about options so the decision will be easier later. Chrysler is streamlining option packages this fall so there will be a lot fewer option choices and you will not be able to order so many options separately. They will be grouped together, so you may have to select something you don't really care about to get the ones you really want. Good luck getting your R/T.

I am waiting for the '08 specifically for the black metallic pearl color... LOVE it!! I have heard about the packages being more grouped this year. Hopefully I'll still be able to get what I want without have to get too much of what I don't want. :)

Dont wait to long ladybug. My wife and i just ordered ours (my gift to her for being gone 8+ months a year with work). We put in an order for an '08 RT 4x4 in orange, and it wont be ready for pickup until September (4 months)! We just hope it will be worth the wait.

2008 Nitro? really?

i ordered my *2007* nitro a couple weeks ago and it should be coming in about 6-8 weeks according to my dealer so that's about the August timeframe (or July if i'm lucky! :) ). I didn't even know the 2008 was even orderable!

Does anyone know if the 2008 model will look different at all? or if the options are all different? I am not changing my order of course for my 2007 R/T with just about ALL options (almost all, but not quite... no sun roof and no smoker's package). I haven't seen ANY pictures on 2008 Nitro or even reviews for that matter.

The '08's just became available for order in may according to our sales man in England (Military car sales). The packages have changed a little from my understanding though. For example we purchased the U Connect, but now that comes with other things such as remote start. We stopped in to order an '07, but were offered an '08 at the same price, so we figured what the heck, and went for the '08. Hopefully they got some of the issues worked out in '08. As for the body style, i dont know if they changed anything. I hope it stays pretty much the same though, my wife and i both love the '07!! Now comes the long wait until Sept....

I've heard that the option packages are more condensed for 2008 meaning that if you want a specific option you may have to get it in a package with other stuff that you might not have wanted. I pretty much want it all so it doesn't matter to me. I'm holding out for the '08 because I want the metallic black paint! :D

New R/T owner

:Racing: Thanks for the welcome to the forum. Last week I purchased my New Inferno Red R/T and am already in love, which doesn't make my wife very happy. I'm currently accessorizing it to my taste and have ordered a number of things. Already changed the fuel door to chrome and black step tubes are tomorrow. I have read every review I could find online and most will agree that Nitro blows all other SUV's away with its terrific looks. I am looking forward to learning all about the R/T from this forum. Thanks again for the welcome.

The Nitro's styling sets it apart!

Congratulations on your choice of model and color! :wavey:

The innovative Nitro styling is one of the most appealing features, in my opinion. It is wonderful driving an SUV that does not look like every other "cookie cutter" SUV on the street. Also, it is great not having to worry about "losing" you Nitro in a crowded parking lot!
