While I'm happy for them, I'm not optimistic about the pricing and demand for these. I hope I'm wrong.

It sounds like these are the same old Hemis from 2023/24, unchanged?
I am not wizard, but here is my prediction

They will be down on power vs the Hurricane and more expensive (FI vs NOT)
They will grab a short list audience and fizzle out due to the cost point and end game
They will be WAAAAYYY to much $$$ if they boost them for the glory

The actual fail was the Daytona is only slightly better than the current Hellcat. That Daytona should have came out of the gate running mid/high 10s and it would have sold a lot better. I mean it gets its ass handed to it by EVs for less money.

I know people will say "it is not about this or that!!!" but the fact is the Model3 and that goofy Hyundai are WAAAAAYYYY faster for less money.


Maybe Tim can turn it around, but I bet the cost of the turn around is now out of control

Carlos Tavares <--- was a complete clownshoes who wrecked that company, I am not totally down with the ins and outs might have been the one before but either way he hammed the nail in.
