Dodge Challenger and Charger moving to new ICE platform with Hemi V8

Dodge is moving forward with new ICE platform.

Looks like my next car will either be a mustang or challenger since Ford and Dodge are actually keeping gas powered pony/2+2 coupe cars around for longer than Chevy plans to.

I knew this would happen unlike Chevy Dodge is basically the Charger and Challenger they can't afford to lose customers.

Or they actually care about their customers.

Let Ford and Dodge keep grasping to the past

I want to see the future.

The new ones are going to be lighter, quicker and hopefully handle as well as the Gen 6 Camaro. I started out with a Dodge (69 Super Bee) I guess I'll go out with one.

Always liked the Challenger styling. Looking forward to seeing what next generation looks like if actually done. Hopefully manual transmission is available in the high horsepower trims.

Looks like Dodge is beginning to realize that EV's are not going to sell like everyone is thinking. Only 50% of it's lineup will be EV by 2030. I bet that shinks too. The other auto manufactures are going to realize this as well. For GM it isn't ICE Camaro or nothing. GM isn't discontinuine an ICE Corvette are they? I'd buy a Corvette before I'd ever buy a Dodge or Ford. But... That's just me...

If that were the case they would have improved the quality of their products outside of making bigger engines. Even Kia continued to improve on their quality, Dodge is still as crappy

This makes me smile. Don't be surprised if Chevy gets back into the game in a few years.

Thank God, I thought I was stuck with the Mustang as the only option.

So what does that say now that Challenger outsells Camaro?

Absolutely, screw the Ford or the Dodge when you can get a vette with a V8 for at least the next 10 years.
