Who gives a damn about a SRT8 with 500HP. Ford GT500 offers 540 and will trounce all over an SRT8 with more HP. If/when the Z28 releases expect the CTS-V drivetrain meaning another stomping. Puts Dodge at the bottom again for "future" thinking. I own 2 Chrysler products and both will be out of my ownership this year. Second issue that no one has mentioned is the PCM code on the Dodge vehicles. My CSRT has yet to be opened meaning tuning is non-existent unless you bypass which requires harness splicing. Pain in the balls.
Both Ford and GM offer PCM unlock capabilities which makes it easy to tune the cars for the mods installed. Another huge failure in the face of Chrysler/Fiat.
We can go on and on about the failures. Glad for those who like their Dodge vehicles. Too bad they are bottom of the line performers and the future with the Fiat platforms is not promising.

Dude, your post shows a total lack of understanding of the car industry. Fiat IS making changes, BUT like anything it takes time. They cannot design new cars, change the factories for said cars, and get them in production in a few months, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE! It takes YEARS. Just like Ford started working on the Coyote in 2007 and HAD to cut 12 months off of normal development to get it out now. They ar doing upgrades and refreshed out by late this year, not to mention the 11 Grand Cherokee, Charger, 300, Durango based on the Grand Cherokee, updated Challenger in 11, new Caliber interior and enhancements this year, the intro of the Fiat 500 which is sure to be a hit (LOVE the Abarth version!). It takes TIME and MONEY to do these things. They don't have money and replacing the current lineup will take YEARS not months. From what I am seeing Fiat is working hard on this. Please go to allpar.com and check out the 5 year plan, some pretty interesting stuff.
