Dodge has it in an appropriate part of the lineup. The Challenger fights Mustangs, Camaros, and other small, sporty cars. The Charger fights the Impala and other family sedans in a decidedly non-sporty segment and also has sport trims and aggressive styling that make it a legitimate competitor with larger sporty cars. For GM to do this, Chevrolet would have to kill the Impala, which doesn't really make sense. GM has used so many names for performance vehicles. It would be very unrealistic to expect GM to reproduce them all. If they did, we'd see Grand Nationals, Chevelles, El Caminos, Firebirds, Trans Ams, 442s, Toronodos, Monte Carlos, GTOs, LeMans, and many other performance-oriented GMs. There just isn't room in the market for all these cars unless GM is selling well over 25% of America's cars. If 1 in 4 cars on the street were late-model GMs, I can see room for a wider variety of products. In the meantime, I'm content with GM's offerings.
