No one wants that or the Camaro, that is why both are on the block. Replaced by sports CUV. Hold your britches.... the Dodges are usable vehicles.

What's a CUV or you mean SUV? Yes I agree No Camaro in fact that car will be discontinued soon. Poor design and styling.

No the current Challenger has a lot of wasted space in the nose to create the look.

I do believe you will see the straight 6 and a 4 cylinder engine augmented by electric powered super chargers or some kind of boosted power. All electric will be the top of the offerings. Agree, the V-8 will be gone but there will be something for most Dodge fans. For others there will be used Hemi cars for decades to enjoy. Mine is safe in my garage no matter what the future holds. Electric may be the anointed talking point for now, but gas powered vehicles will be built for decades and gas will power the millions of internal combustion vehicles that will be prized and driven. Green advocates may have the bully pulpit for now, but reality rules the day. Hemi power is a long term reality and an appreciating financial asset. Electric advocates just howling in the wind as usual and then reality sets in to their surprise. SURPRISE !

I'd be cautious. The Mustang is only just now losing out to the Chally and it is coming back with a rumored hybrid V8. When Dodge ditches the V8 it might return to being second fiddle to the Mustang - which may be considered the only remaining American muscle car because of an accessible (and existent) V8. Dodge is shaping up to be an American BMW wannabe. But we'll see, hopefully not.

Rumor persist that Apache is still in the cards.

The issue is not that HP is down it that the Tornado is more potent. I love my Apache.... but what do you do with it if the Tornado is lighter and produces more HP. For sure the Eagle is dead because it is outproduced in mild tuning.

New flash the Mustang is already more potent, especially in Shelby trim ..... also guess what its damn nearly useless everywhere but the track or sliding into a curb.

Unless Mustang adds a powertrain, it is unlikely that they'll price out their V8 the way Dodge is almost certain to do in their quest to europeanize the brand. Not sure what is useless, but, the Mustang has a small back seat but the front and trunk are fine. The Bullitt is a great grand tourer car as is the GT in general.
