That's a very good question Kmag, I sure hope it wouldn't have any bearing on Chryslers decision to "build or not to build" the new Challenger.
After all, a 2 door car, and a 2 seat car are TWO very different animals entirely.
The fact a car has only 2 seats turns alot of potential buyers away, if for no other reason than practicality. Where as, just look at how many "dyed-in-the-wool" sports car fanatics there are on this web site alone that seem to be chomping at the bit to put the new Challenger in their garage.
Personally, I don't want a Challenger to replace my Crossfire, I want one to compliment it.
I came within a "pens stroke" away from ordering a 440 Challenger RT thirty six years ago. The way I look at it, "how often do you get a second chance to relive your past?"
