Can I separate the emotion here, which of course would be a big yes, without reserve.
Logical Mopar Willy though offers this argument that does not put the Charger in the calculus. As a major domestic auto manufacture the answer is still yes. The application need is substantial in vehicles from Ram and Jeep and the commercial applications demand that engine.. I’d opt for fit and modern efficiency over raw power. Logic and need demand its development and if it fits in a RWD or AWD Charger than emotional Willy would be one happy Mopar Man.
That’s two yes answers without a no in sight.

I don't disagree, but I think the ship has already arrived in a package that looks like a 3 liter straight six..... Yes, I wish it were a Hemi V8, but I can't see the effort that produced that engine being duplicated for a V8.

They already are. I've heard it's gonna be a 4.5L but not sure if that's factual. But it is a fact that they're working on a smaller displacement Hemi. I've also heard they hope to have it ready by mid 2026.

From your mouth to Gods ears!! A smaller Hemi really would be a great idea. If your sources are correct that is great news. If not, the time window to develop it and put it in production, like the article says could be a problem. We don’t know who we get in 4 years. If it’s someone who follows Trumps ideas we could be good, if it’s another Biden tree hugger, we get the EV mandated back. Like always, we can be late for the party once again.
