Additionally, Challenger & Charger models can be purchased at 20% below sticker any day of the week.

Imagine if FCA utilized some of the Jeep & Ram profits for R&D of new Challenger/Charger models, instead of funneling them into failed Alfa Romeo & Maserati products.
The company stated the Giorgio platform would be shared with a new Challenger/Charger, but when Giulia sales & quality floundered, they retracted the decision.
