The Challenger is intended for those who accept that, and merely want a nice daily driver or cruiser. I don't agree with this choice, but I understand where its strength lies.
Exactly. And realize with the Camaro and Mustang, as of now, they have no platform mates, so they have to sell to be pofitable. With the Challenger you also have the Charger, 300, and from whats been said, soon an Alfa model built on the same platform. THe upgrades the Challenger gets will rely on what happens with the other 2. Do you the Challenger would be getting the ,4 Hemi next year if it wasn't for the redesigned Charger and 300? I love the CHallenger, but it is a tag along with it's higher selling and more profitable platform mates as far as upgrades.
