Nice Chevelle!

Dodge has been selling challengers because they market the hell out of them and go out of their way to give them bad ass HP options which they again market the hell out of.. It has little to do with a redesign in my opinion.. They took a 13-15 year old platform and outsold the significantly newer Camaro and mustang platforms on HP marketing alone. That and anyone with a 450 credit score can get into one. The mustang and hasn’t dropped on its ass at anywhere near the rate the 6th gen has. 72,000ish units in 2016 to 20,000ish in 2022… GM is absolutely to blame in a lot of regards here though as they have not made but a nascar attempt to promote the car. No commercials, no incentives, (obviously there aren’t many from the oe’s right now across the board) they want this car to die and it’s been incredibly clear of that for a while now. Don’t get me wrong, I’d take a 6th gen over a mustang or challenger. I want the current Camaro to be successful even if it’s not better than the 5th in my eyes.
