It does not make financial sense to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to develop, test and produce 30,000 low/mid priced cars per year. They are losing money hand over fist on the Challenger with no change in sight.
You really have no idea. THey have said they need to build around 25000 to be profitable with the challenger, which they have done, they are averaging ocer 3000 a month for most months this year. Remember, under the skin it is basically a retuned Charger with a shorter wheelbase which means shared parts and less cost. You really have no idea about CHrysler, you THINK you do and spout some mighty opinions, but their ever increasing sales (even before all the revamped and new models hit the lots!) says otherwise.
