Me too. I suspect many others would too....If Dodge brought back a copy of the original Charger. Not the bloated 4 door that masquerades as one.

Maybe they will kill the Challenger and make the Charger their new two door coupe.

Such a shame. They think they can sell that FIAT 500 tiny car here?!!? lol That's funny.

This a is a FAIL waiting to happen. It's a shame.

Oil prices are headed back up to 150 and they know it. In a year we'll all be driving Fiats.

LOL, probably.

Minis are profitable, why not Fiat 500s?

I didn't read the article as the Challenger being dead. It looks like the 'performance' Dodge cars will stick around and everything else will be rebadged Fiats.

This article seems to think the Challenger is staying around:

I'm not happy to see the challenger go (competition is good, and I like mopar. Not as much as GM, but more than ford) and certainly if all of Chrysler goes.

However, I'm not surprised. They built it for low sales in the first place and said as much. Plus, the challenger was the first of the three to go last time.

Yea, why would they kill the only car that's making them money. They would have sold a lot more if the plants would have been making them.

a_Username · 10-27-2009, 02:43 PM

I really don't see why they have a Charger and a Challenger. The Charger outperforms the Challenger, and it has 4-doors. It's either make the Challenger be the better performer to make it make sense for them to have both vehicles, or redo the Charger to replace the Challenger.

Mikes SS · 10-27-2009, 03:17 PM

I agree, it would be nice for dodge to have a coupe and sedan Charger, styled like to previous photoshop should sell pretty good

I like the Challenger. MSN always has misleading titles to their news too, so I doubt we'll see Dodge disappear altogether from what the article was saying.
