Dodge Hornet will be sharing a production line with other global products.
Ok that I didn’t know Maserati is going to share the platform with the next Challenger and Charger
STLA Large is too…..Maserati says hi.
Will be on STLA Large which is not just for Charger and Challenger, but for several Jeep and Chrysler models too.
Now they're saying the cars will be leaving Brampton next year for a facility in the US
Next Dodge Challenger And Charger Ditching Canada For America
They've been built in the Great White North for years.carbuzz.com
Didnt they just sign a new union contract last year up there?

The more I read it, the more I think the next Charger and Challenger will be electric only.
They may be launched with only a EV powertrain configuration with Hybrids & PHEV’s coming later almost a “trickle down” launch.
I’d prefer it to be the other way around.
C02 standards and making Wall Street happy (“Electrics are the future”).
Yes but those guys won't enjoy getting routinely dusted by EV's which is already happening. I think Dodge's timing is perfect for this and EV's can be tuned, AEM is working on a tuner for the model S right now.
What kind of sick Joke is that, tuning a EV is about as fun as souping up a drying machine. Adding Ev enhancements to ICE is a wise transition but dropping the V8 suddenly would alienate Mopar people to a point that would be unrecoverable.
A tune adds about 30hp (if lucky) to a 392, anything extensive voids the warranty. A tuner for an EV can unleash serious power - no different than when Tesla releases things like "ludicrous mode" over the air. Rather than waiting - just do it yourself. The new plaid runs 9.20's @ 150mph stock, the car probably has 8.90's already in it. Free power that just needs to be unlocked. Ability to make the car RWD to do burnouts, then switch back to AWD and tune the power application. OR, void warranty, spend $25,000 you'll never get back ripping the engine apart to build a quicker car that blows transmissions. I see where the future is headed - the true gear heads will be doing motor, battery pack and controller swaps, which will also need tuning.
Boring ….. 30hp??? Your joking that not the tunes the club members are doing and they don’t give a crap about warranty. Tesla is a fragile POS …. Club guys are going to want EV…. Call yourself a Charger fan while advocating it to be boring soulless appliance is counter the Mopar culture. Even with the announcement of EV model they got giant pushback and went on the defensive. Pretend all you want it not what drives the Dodge Image. Arguing for EV is a fundamental misreading of that culture. Added that this spirited driving drains them fast…. i am for Electric aids but not for destroying the brand
