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??
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.
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!
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.
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
The EV route should have been taken with a Dodge CUV competitor to the Chevy Trail Blazer instead of the Charger. It could have had the fake exhaust and nobody would have cared, they probably would have got some volume out of it. They could have also offered it as a 4cyl hybrid and the fleets...
I would pick up where the 1998 Eclipse and Eagle Talon left off. You can sell a sporty FWD version for a low price point, a mid range AWD version and a killer top tier SRT turbo AWD version. It'll be a funnel for younger people into the Dodge brand, have a cult following and when they want to...
Actually they were the most profitable automaker, try to keep up.
Stock price July 1999 $72.12
Stock price as of now $10.07
Out of touch?
And get this - people were actually working and making money at all the supplier plants, Chrysler plants, dealerships and everything else associated with...
Affordability is more important than ever. I remember not very long ago you could get a Chrysler minivan for about $18,000. The plant ran 24/7 building them, the dealerships couldn't keep them in stock and families had affordable transportation. Whoever had a problem with that and decided to...
