Soooo NHRA certifies top speed now? You are clearly on a kool-aid diet.

More CTS-Vs will be sold, per annum, than 'Cat-cabs. Not many people in this $trata want smelly litter boxes in their garages...

They may be "in bed by 11, after a warm Metamucil" in your mind, but they're generally looking for a complete package (with a proper badge), NOT just a "headline".

JD Power's Initial Quality Survey includes a question regarding "Second Choice". Neither survey, for either of these cars, will very often (if ever!) include the other... That's wishful thinking on the part of FIAT folks. FACT.

BOTH will be amazing cars, in their own rights. But "cross-shopped"? Not likely.

I have to agree with LD here, I think more CTS-V will be sold bc Cadillac has really stepped their game up in the last few years.

And I don't think many potential CTS-V buyers would cross shop the Hellcat Charger. IMO People looking at the CTS-V are looking for that luxury performance car, that do not want M or AMG car

I liked the Magnum and thought of getting one before they stopped making them, not 100% sure but someone told me that they are still making a right hand drive version for export along with the 300.

When the Magnum went away, it went away...everywhere...

THIS JUST IN:

FCA and John Hotchkis are pleased to announce the co-promotion of Hotchkis Suspension pieces to be installed on a Special Edition of the Dodge Charger Hellcat. In fact, the inspiration for this special version came from Hotchkis' own Plymouth Belevedere, a noted Pro Tour participant, pictured below. A duplicate graphics package and color combination will follow.

The name for the final production-ready version has NOT been finalized, but Sergio is leaning towards 'CatCab!


Top light extra...

That front end is a disaster and a step backwards! How can the base model front look better that the super model front! Just horrendous! Too many ppl working on the front end at one time I guess!
