It will be in low volumes and it will sell to those looking for a Chevy that is a bit special.
For those of you that want a cheaper RWD car, that is a crossing point. Most people, and seriously most, at that price point don't care if it's FWD or RWD.
It's a premium car that you can't get caught up in the fact that it's expensive. If it's too much go buy the lower priced lower performing Fiat.

Actually, with the times the R/T runs in real life it is closer than many would like in performance. Second, how is a car based on a platform that was sold 5 years before Fiat took over and a refresh that was started years before Fiat was involved, based on a Daimler platform with a Mercedes transmission that is far more, I suppose, exotic then something based on a generic Holden design that holds no cache anywhere and really isn't known at all by most Americans and really has no history, as the Charger does. The Charger is a very high quality product and the attempts to belittle it are just childish. I have nothing against the SS and it is a fine car, but really for all it's improvements it is a lackluster update to the GXP which was a fine car 5 years ago and was then, as the SS is now, a competitor in price and intent wit the Charger SRT 8 which has improved MUCH more and is simply a better performer in each and every way and cannot even downed for it's interior as the old 08 models could.
