It’s a tragedy how the Charger was launched and the apprehension attached to its build quality and reliability due to premature electrification. This was so botched it leads to thoughts that it was deliberate and malicious. It certainly created a dark hole that Dodge must dig itself out of to regain favor.
Now I personally love the Six Pack offerings which I feel hit the sweet spot in the Dodge mass market lineup, especially in this four door model. I see little reason for mainstream Dodge buyers not being drawn to this version. I also see the “Motörhead”crowd, like myself, being elated at the return of all things Hemi, it is the essence of Dodges appeal in the marketplace. Had Dodge launched the gasoline versions first and revealed plans for the Daytona at that time, we would not be discussing this topic today, it would be moot as Dodge sales would be much better. “Go WOKE, go BROKE” rings true, even in the auto industry.
I also have a problem with the size and weight of the Charger in two door configuration and to put it simply, a smaller, lighter Challenger is essential to get things back on track. Let’s get that done Dodge ASAP.
It seems that the path forward has been made clear and there is light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s been a slow process that tests the patience and loyalty of Dodge fans. Like dudes, when the hell are these Six Packs getting to dealers ?
It’s such a tragedy that Euro-think has brought All American brands like Dodge and Jeep to their knees and hurt these brands in ways that could have been avoided. Somehow this four door six pack made it to market from inception and it just might be the car that saves Dodge. It’s that ray of light at the end of this tragic tunnel for Dodge as I would label it now.

Well said Bill, couldn’t agree more. Dodge is about to Pontiac themselves if these Six Packs come out and don’t sell. I feel that Dodge really put themselves in a hole when they decided to use the same platform as the Charger Daytona for the Six Pack Chargers. Dodge could have followed what Chevy did with the Blazer and Equinox, keep the gas versions different frames than the Electric. Dodge cheaped out with this approach. Bring the Challenger back V6 Pentastar AWD, Hemi V8s, with the upgraded Uconnect that’s in the current Durango, and they’ll start selling cars again. People will buy just like everyone did when the Camaro came back for the 2010 model year. I feel that at this starting price point of 49K for the Six Packs R/Ts (that don’t come out until next year) make this a tough sell. First they’re bringing out the HO twin turbo V6 Scat Pack base $55-59K. We all know the cars will be $65-70K because they’ll be loaded with options when they arrive at dealers. I feel like this is going to be a repeat of the Hornet (too small, too expensive) and the Six Pack Charger will be too big, too expensive. Hope I’m wrong, because my 23 Challenger R/T wants a dealership to go when it’s under warranty.

I have my minor gripes about it, mostly to do with small styling details that I'm sure the aftermarket will address, but the biggest thing for me is price. The car needs a volume selling GT model (like the Durango) that still has decent power and all but slots under the R/T in power and price and can still have nice package options. Simply put, drop a 375hp/410tq 5.7L Hemi under the hood with optional AWD and the new 8-speed transmission, give the car more of the '68-'70 hood styling and go from there. The 5.7L Hemi seems to be the only emissions compliant V8 Mopar has anyway so why not? no need for expensive hybrid systems or anything like that, just a clean, simple, affordable V8. Not saying that the six packs won't sell but a low-end GT with a 5.7L Hemi that can be optioned out with upgrades from the factory along with Direct Connection upgrades and everything else would sell out fast and Stellantis could make up a ton of money that they've lost.

This is a conversation that will have many valid and sincere points of view. I am uplifted you gave me support here. I believe, however, that the STLA Large platform is the only realistic path forward, as are the Hurricane engines, it’s a clear business decision and frankly, a very appealing one. If Americans are open to moving into a changing environment, as I believe they are, than a two version family of modern six engines with AWD is the way to go for them and for Dodge. I also believe a RWD, content minimum SO Hurricane must be offered in base model Charger and Challenger cars. Dodge got the Charger right for family buyers in four door version and also for the less popular for families two door for this segment. Where they missed is in the true muscle car crowd that wants a two door nimble, athletic in size and weight performer that utilize the flexible STLA strategy for RWD and AWD Hurricanes, Hemi V-8s all the way up to Demons and Drag Packs and affordability through out. Lose the weight and ungainly size and pick up a lot more customers.
The STLA is the only real business case way to get there. Thanks again for considering my thinking.

I have to say I agree with Bill Burke and the statement of the STLA Large platform being a solid choice for Stellantis going forward. While I mentioned above about a GT car having a hemi. Realistically, a bare basic 420hp Hurricane RWD car makes more sense as an entry-level GT car than the 5.7L. I still stand firm on my thinking that no matter what powers the GT trim package, There needs to be options and packages for that car and Direct Connection still needs to be heavily involved with that car as well.
I Also have to agree with another aspect of Bill's statement about a smaller, more nimble coupe. From 2006 till now, the Charger has solidified itself as the ultimate American Muscle sedan and to be honest, even with this new powertrains, both Hurricane and EV, it still holds that title. I worry about how well a small coupe would sell in this market as affordable coupes are honestly dwindling away from the world as we know it. Personally, I think an STLA Large platform return of the Dodge Dart, made to be about the side of a AMG GT 4-door coupe, with four doors, a fastback/liftback design just like the AMG with styling taken from the 71-77 Dart would be about the best way for Dodge to bring out a smaller, more nimble "coupe." I would also like to see Dodge bring out a Wagon on the STLA Large platform like the Coronet Wagon of the late '60's and early '70's. Doing that, plus having the Durango move to the STLA Large platform and bringing out a Dodge Grand Caravan and an off-road/all-terrain focused Ramcharger with Rebel & RHO type packages wouldn't actually be a bad idea as it would help to fill out the Dodge lineup and bring closure to the Chrysler brand. Another thing I really wanted was for Jeep to utilize this platform with the Cherokee & Grand Cherokee and bring back modern versions of the SJ Jeeps from the late 70's and early '80's with iconic Inline-6 power. Scrap the Recon completely and just have the two SJ vehicles on the STLA: Large platform and then move the FSJ vehicles to the STLA:Frame platform. STLA Frame vehicles under the Jeep brand should first include a Wrangler & a Gladiator, both with Hurricane-6 power to wipe up the ground with the Ranger and Bronco Raptor. That should have been a main priority years ago and it needs to be one right now. Both need to be seriously improved on the inside, while still keeping their classic Jeep styling or even moving to the YJ styling with the squared headlamps (almost like the Recon). The Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer need to be on this same platform and hearken back to the SJ days as well. They should be smaller than what they are now, about the size of a Gladiator but in SUV form and the inside should have that classic rugged luxury that's not overboard but still incredibly comfortable. It should be a vehicle made for vagabonds full of wanderlust. Something that can withstand traveling roads like Route 66, camping in Yellowstone, rambling through wooded trails and fording creeks to get to remote campsites of peace away from the hustle and bustle of life. Jeep also needs a 1500-series pickup called the Honcho that takes over for the Ram RHO and Rebel with hurricane-6 powertrains seeing that Jeep is the off-road brand.

This leaves the Ram brand the room to have all of the Hemi-powered trucks it wants. Granted there should be hurricane powered trucks as well but the freedom to have the Hemi trucks is always a welcome thing. Ram trucks could also help shut the door on Chrysler because Ram trucks are luxury vehicles. Give a Ram 1500 a few packages such as Citadel, Limited, Laramie Longhorn, and Tungsten and there's no need for Chrysler. Especially if those trim levels can be had with SRT packages. Let Stellantis bring out vehicles like that along with the midsize pickup and a few other things. With that, there is no need for Chrysler because the luxury is in Ram and somewhat in Jeep.

If the Stellantis is dead set on four distinctive brands, Bring back Plymouth! All stripped down (but still decently appointed) version of the Dodge Mopars including a Trailduster SUV (Ramcharger) a Plymouth Roadrunner (Charger 4-door), a Plymouth Duster (Dart) a Plymouth Aspen (Durango) and lastly a Plymouth Satellite wagon (Coronet). All of them 4WD, all off them 420hp Hurricane powered, rear wheel drive and just the bare basic minimum and that's it. This is what an ideal lineup could look like for the brand.

Lots of thoughtful suggestions, ideas to consider as many of us fans look to cover every imaginable market segment and resurrect old product. The but here is the financial status of the company and the lack of domestic manufacturing facilities. I don’t want to submit my whole wish list, but let’s stick to Dodge and likely product under real life circumstances.
STLA Large, Charger, a Challenger coupe and a Durango SUV
STLA Medium, Smaller sedan, hatchback and Journey replacement SUV
STLA Small, Sedan, sports car like coupe, Hornet replacement SUV.
Other brand products could share these Dodge products with their spin offs filling out their lineup.
