Upcoming Dodge Charger Daytona Will Feature A Functional Frunk

The word frunk is absolutely offensive, this word should be banned from the English language. Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk about this whole next gen charger thingy. I really wish Stellantis would understand that there are only about 15% of us who are Mopar fans that are even remotely interested in a BEV Charger so releasing info about passenger-forward cargo space truly is not appealing to the general masses. While we are interested in specs about the new car, what we really want to know is gasoline & or hybrid powertrain options, the horsepower specs of these powertrains, what kind of performance features the ICE and hybrid vehicles will have & what kind of packages will we get, direct connection upgrades, jailbreaks etc. Those kinds of things are what the 85% of us out here are really interested in. It's a decent looking vehicle but this EV nonsense is really hurting the car before it even comes out. I think at least 50% of us out here would be more excited to hear that there would be an affordable Charger GT model that would come with a 2.0L Hybrid system featuring the new Gen-4 ZF 8-speed transmission with a base horsepower of 395hp and 450lb-ft of torque and will have some SRT4 like options from Direct Connection and things like that. That the car would have different options such as a super track pack with actual handling upgrades, optional Brembo packaging for either 4 piston front or 6-piston front packages, torque vectoring and everything else. We'd be interested in knowing that a GT model car would come with an amazing AWD setup that was geared for performance driving and amazing handling. We'd be excited to hear that the 3.0L Hurricane will come in three flavors being R/T 420hp/486tq, Scat Pack 510hp/500tq, and SRT 550hp/531tq variants with upgrades from Direct Connection and other things. We'd be interesting in knowing that we're going to get a four-door coupe as well as the 2-door coupe. We'd be interested in hearing that there will be different Direct Connection Collaborations with certain aftermarket companies for the performance/styling upgrades. It's cool that Dodge is expanding into a new market and we understand (even if we don't all agree with) the reasoning behind it and I genuinely believe that deep down we are all hopeful for the continued success of the brand even in this new direction. But the fact is that the majority of us are still interested in the gas or even gas-hybrid performance variants of the next generation of Mopar performance vehicles.
