Base to base, it's $2k more expensive. So is it really a killer deal? It was until the 6th gen was unveiled. When you start loading the options on the SP to match a 2SS price point, they are neck and neck in terms of price/features. You mention vert but you can't get a vert in a Challenger. So not sure how that is figuring into this conversation.

I'm not saying pricing on the LT models is not impacting sales. It likely is, but at the SS level you pay for the level of performance you get. And Dodge's performance models are priced higher in the segment. Another problem is dealers ordering stupid options, lack of rebates, lack of effective PR, and poor push for dealers to sell what they got. Looks are another subjective area. To me the Challenger looks bad with it's skinny tires and huge rear quarter panel. The Charger looks much better imo, but that's me.

Me bringing up the convertible price was simply to show how much more GM is charging for the 6th Gen over the 5th Gen. ~$7k more for what? Hey, if GM is happy having them sit on lots for months on end because nobody wants them...they certainly achieved it.

Agreed. Looks are subjective. If everybody liked the same things, the world would be a very boring place.
