(Not talking about the EV one) in fact the new daily driver orientated Charger only sold 600 more gas units than the discontinued Charger of last gen. If Chevy wants the Camaro to succeed they need to compete with the Mustang not the new Charger which goes that Daily Driver practicality route. EDIT: Since from what I read its being based on the Alpha 2 platform it probably will be more performance orientated anyway since the Buick Sedan will be the more practical one with the V8. With a better platform I can see a little tweaking to keep the same or better performance on the track while having what some people want. Dodge went the compromise route by a lot even more than last generation and right now its not working for them. Those Chargers are sitting on lots near me being discounted.

Didn't the gas Charger
just go on sale like 3 months ago, at most? I really wouldn't be doom and gloom about it yet. Also, it has a couple things working against it:
1) No V8 model yet (or ever?)
2) The price is high for the Scat Pack, higher than its ever been. The cheaper RT model literally just launched. I dunno if its even on dealer lots yet.
3) The US economy is circling the drain and 'no new wars' turned into 'know new wars!!!' for oil. People aren't going to be quick to buy new cars with lower mpg right now.
