It's cool that it'll be almost as fast as the TRX, for a lot less money, but man, I'm gonna miss the sound of that Supercharged V8!!!

So a few grand less but no V8 or fantastic supercharger whine.....for shame Chrysler, for shame.

You can't really be surprised.  They're ditching the V8 company as a corporate strategy, so it's not like they'd keep it around just for the TRX. 

Canadian Pricing seems a little wonky, though.  In the US, the TRX starts at $98 335, while the RHO will start at $72.  So that's a $26k price drop from the TRX to the RHO.  In Canada the drop is like $4-5k.  Why? Why? Why?

Could the US be getting a lower spec or maybe a different body style that is cheaper?

Not a different body style I don't think, but it's like that the base U.S. one has less equipment.
