I would bet there is a serious conversation between Dodge management and the woke hypnotized overlords at Stellantis about a revamped Hemi. Thank you Ford. Anyone, even a brain dead tree hugger, must realize that an honest look at reality dictates an evolutionary approach to, at best, limited electrification of the industry. There is and will be in the future a large market and a totally environmentally beneficial case for advanced ICE powered vehicles. In some cases, like Dodge, this thinking underpins the brands survival. As an environmental pragmatist I see a role for electrification, but my pragmatic modifying adjective allows me the grace of letting, science, technology and market forces play out as reality dictates. A reality the Ford people seem to accept. Pragmatic if not enlightened.
I see a future for Dodge, even if limited by the Hurricane shortfalls. That future depends on a new generation of free minded humans that manipulates and navigates this short sighted green agenda, yet above all, ones who still have a heartbeat and some need for the outrageous. If that fails to happen our world may see a infinitesimally small environmental improvement, perhaps, but in that world generations to follow will never experience a true Dodge or the thrill of pure Detroit defined muscle or what the hell a “Scat Pack” is or what that stupid bee symbolizes. Too bad the future seems so dim. Maybe these inner circle assumed corporate conversations can shed some light on the future and the logic therein as Ford has grasped. In true Mopar fervor I pledge “ Give me Dodge or Give me Death!”
