She never had any teeth and was just a brand spokesman IMO. If she was hired to do more than that it certainly didnt show or (more likely) her product ideas were never taken seriously

The original articles said "a new v8 dodge muscle car". 10B is a lot of coin, I doubt a motor swap is what they're talking about.

It would be a dog with the 5.7 @ 5000lbs by the time you and fuel are in it

Its enough money that it sounds like it wont be using the battleship Charger platform https://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/chrysler/2025/10/05/stellantis-said-to-plan-10-billion-in-u-s-turnaround-investments/86538025007/ They did all the last call cars (incl demon 170) with 50 million

From AI. And just in, it looks like they have 10 billion ready to invest in new products and one of them is a new V8 muscle car. I guess we get to speculate on what that'll be

With a 392 and a ZF it'll come in roughly the same weight as the AWD hurricane model, 4800 and change. The hemi is 200lbs heavier than the hurricane. The AWD system is 200lbs EDIT. Its the hellcat thats 200lbs heavier. The 392 is 141lbs heavier

Flexibility is fine but not if its the reason why the car is so unnecessarily heavy in ICE format. Being too heavy was a big reason why the cars never hit critical mass pre-2015. I am sure everyone remembers.

Saw that coming a mile away. There was no way they would continue to throw good money after bad. I'd bet dollars to donuts those funds have been directed to be a hellcat / demon redux on the new Charger.

They've been given a hall pass (no CAFE fines) they'd best use it, and quick. FORTUNATELY for them, they already have ready platforms (and assembly lines) that can be switched to whatever the next community organizer "politician" wants. Its still ridiculous that they have to swing back and...

Germany is going to leave the EU if staying means they lose their auto industry

Predicted? They would have found the same results by doing market research. They could have made an electric CLA type vehicle and saw how it did before committing to a whole line up of cars that look like used bars of soap. Also - who told all the legacy auto makers that their EVs had to be...

He says this AFTER wasting billions on a bunch of ugly overpriced EVs that depreciate 60% in the first year and that 4cyl C63 AMG that nobody wants either. I predict hes the next CEO to get the boot

Planned obsolescence. Its so funny that they push all this big fake green nonsense but the cars are totally disposable and a massive waste of resources. If they really want to save the planet they'll build cars that last forever that are easily repairable, not overweight electric junk that is...

Well aware but the V8's paid dividends for the Charger brand appeal and Dodge as a whole. Take the V8's and the performance image out of the equation and we're trying to sell a Dodge Intrepid again. We all know how the Dart, 200 and Avenger did. The new Scat pack should be an updated 500hp...

I consider this car to be similar to the 2011-2014 charger, you'll see them around, sales will be ok, but they will not be as popular as the later 2015+ batch.
