Yep, pretty cool if the car will be OK. From the Dodge rep that told me a month ago, it will be based off of the Alfa 8C.

It's still probably going to be too heavy. Same platform..

So Fiat is going to yet again bastardize another old mopar name. If it doesn't have Plymouth on the rear deck, it will be nothing but a joke.

i heard they were doing away with the challenger ,but didn't know what they were going to replace it with.looks like fiat/chrysler is going to screw up again.

I have heard it will be based off of this platform and NOT the current one.

AZ MSCL · 01-13-2012, 12:32 AM

It could be interesting. Some are speculating it will be made under the SRT brand name. From 2007 SEMA (I believe):

How can you say they are going to screw it up when there is ZERO info out about it? And how has Chrysler/Fiat screwed up? By huge increases in sales? huge quality jumps? Class leading interiors? Maybe it's the fact they were able to take the Sebring, make it the 200 and take it from dismal sales, to nearly 10,000 sales a month. oh wait......... The new dart with it's class leading interior, agressive looks, competivitive pricing, and multiple engine and transmission choices is surely a failure, oh, wait....... No it's not......... I know GMs fulsize RWD sedans kill the Charg.......... oh wait, they don't have any............. It is such a bummer those cars are being compared to the best Germans in everything including their driving dynamics, that just sucks. Oh, wait again........ The Traverse is better than the GC and Dur.... oh wait, it's not again.............. Anyways, yeah, if this is screwing up, maybe screwing up is a great business model...........
