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.

Comparing HP numbers is apples and oranges when this one weighs 5000lbs. It probably needs 420hp just to get out of its own way They say 12.20 ET with 550hp and an AWD launch. It should have been 11.20's What EV aspects in the platform are making this version so damn heavy??

Besides the elephant in the room, I guess the outlaw name got tossed in the trash?

Oh they spent money since the "merger" but it was all on the wrong stuff. FCA decided to clean up debt instead of investing in new product so they could be an attractive "merger" partner. And here we are.

How much was the Recon going to cost? About $99,995? It would sell great beside a 3.6L Wrangler. Everyone must admit half of their EV problems come from pricing.

They never cared about muscle cars from what I saw. That is a k-car, neon and minivan site

I think without the battery it'll still weigh 4500-4700lbs with a hurricane and AWD

6.4 requires premium fuel, 5.7 does not. That adds up. I daily drove a 392 for years, it crossed my mind many times how much I would have saved had I just got an R/T. The oil changes were $150, the tires are more expensive and so are Brembo brakes. Insurance was decent but I bet it isnt anymore!

Cheaper to buy, run and maintain.

Do they even have a 300+HP turbo 4cyl they could replace the pentastar with? Built locally and not from Europe?

Why would I go to Asia? The car was fine, it suffered from very poor product planning and its apparently too late to fix it. They seemed to be poverty spec base models or balls to wall twin turbo 550hp track slayers with nothing in between. Thats on them.

Wrong bet at that cassino!

If the I6 and hemi cars start to take off sales wise they'll have to kill the EV as they wont have room for them, if there is room some iteration of it may survive as a compliance car, even if its just kept in their back pocket come 2028

They are fully aware the local economy rests on the hemi, pretty funny actually
