Charger Daytona delayed? Prototypes supposedly failing.

Is TK's Garage a reliable source? Or just another wishful clickbait??

Only time will tell. If his claims were refuted by the sources here I'd believe what I read here.

If they decide to offer a V8 again in anything other than Ram 2500, are they going to upgrade the current design and solve the inherited design issues? Or are they going to design a Gen-IV from the scratch?
It’s a matter of ROI and the regulations which inconsistent

What design issues? Are you talking about the valvetrain/lifter ticking that's caused by the multiple changes to increasingly thin oils over the years despite not changing the engine internals? That's not an inherent engine design issue in my opinion. That's a product of trying to please the EPA and save your company money, hoping the engines will make it to the end of warranty. Guys who use 5W30 or 5W40 synthetics from the start rarely have any issues from the 5.7L engine.

Where can they get a big V8 in car at GM? other than the Corvette.... GM is way head on the EV and small displacement engine process then STLA and they are turning record profits.

I get that people like the marketed idea of a V8 but reality is for 95% of all Mopar if you put a plastic cover on the i6 that said Hemi V8 they would say it is the best thing since sliced bread.

Other than Camaro which still sold as new until a few months ago? Or Cadillac CTS-V and others? And of course, GM's bread and butter is the SUV/truck line which still have V8s and will get a new generation of V8s in the next few years.

The Mopar I-6TT with it's check engine lights, electrical issues, turbo lag, lawn mower sound quality, and difficulty of modification or maintenance for enthusiasts would never pass with a Hemi engine cover. Come on. You think buyers are really that shallow? If sales numbers for Stellantis over the last two years don't prove how buyers feel about the V8 engines going away then I don't know what does.
