Commie ****s.
Dodge to cancel Charger and Challenger next year
- Thread starter Blk04L
- Start date
And make vehicles that no one wants to buy...
Well, that really sucks.
No emission or safety testing at all where I am at. But I am sure that will change one day….
Sad... They definitely got their money's worth out of that platform.
Yep, it's 25 years here in TX. My Bronco just sneaks by (1996)

Yeah, they're shutting down their factory in December, 2023. They've stated that they are heavily investing in electrification that is "different", whatever that means. ICE is melting and electrification is going to be hot in their thinking. An electric "muscle car" is supposed to be revealed in a couple of months that will be available in a year or so.
Interestingly, they're going all out to produce "as many as it can before then and a few will be sold with … some assembly required. The automaker is looking to get the most out of the factory while it still has it, so it has decided to sell Challenger bodies a-la-carte for drag racing car builders. The body-in-whites will be literally that. Complete shells finished in a white e-coat of paint, although other colors are optional."

The video in the above link is worth listening to. Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis speaks quite a bit on Dodge's electrification future. IMO he answers a lot of questions muscle car fans have, but we'll have to see if what he predicts from the future muscle car market will come to pass. I have a feeling it will, much to our current dismay.

DIY Dodge Challenger muscle car revealed for $7,995
Dodge will sell body-in-white and full rolling chassis versions of the Challenger for racing car builders through the end of 2023 when production of the car will end.

Many of you are viewing this from an enthusiasts point of view rather than through the eyes and calculator of a bean counter(s).
And the Camaro is supposedly going away too. Gem em while you still can. The commie takeover sped everything up.
While extremely depressing, its been a good run. One thing i can say for sure is i will never be a buyer for “performance” or fake “muscle” car ev’s. I have had plenty of experience with the top ev’s and frankly they can shove them up their ass.

Dodge also just announced that the Durango SRT Hellcat is coming back for 2023. No production limits this time. Dodge's ICE muscle cars are going out with a BANG!

The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat muscle SUV has been resurrected despite tougher emissions rules
The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is returning for 2023 a year after it was discontinued due to increasingly stringent emissions rules coming into effect.
I've owned three Hellcats and a Scat Pack. Don't like the direction Stellantis is going but the current platform needed to change. They made a lot of these cars so there will be a good supply for years to come. I recently got rid of one, loved the car but absolutely hated dealing with Dodge dealers and the whole UConnect system on mine was starting to get wonky. Will be curious how the electronics hold up long term.
Yes, the longevity (and availability) of the electronics is somewhat an unknown at this point. As is battery life and cost of battery replacement.
the ONLY good news out of Dodge yesterday was that they are bringing back the Dodge Durango Hellcat back for one year.
I've seen my very first one in the wild on Saturday in my town. Wow, what a beastly looking machine. Such a shame that the climate nazis are taking over. Another aspect of pure Americana is going to go bye bye because the commie/liberal ****s don't care about cars.

I think the Durango is getting the stockpile of engines that can't go in the cars.
The convertible Challenger looks cool. Can be dealer ordered but all come off the line in Ontario as Hardtops. A place in Florida does the $26k! modification, ontop the "donor car."
I assume adding a pair of overpass girders to the subframe is not cheap.
Rule of thumb for me is if it was designed without a roof, then they get Coleman to make a tent to cover it, it's typically a better car driving with the top down. Compare a Mustang to a Miata or Z. Especially when it comes to cavitation, and rigidity.

Dodge is finally selling a Challenger Convertible
Dodge dealers will sell a Challenger convertible conversion that will be completed by Drop Top Customs for $25,999 for the 2023 model year.
I do like the convertible. But that's a steep premium ($26K).
I’m sure the government will give them another hefty bailout when no one buys their coal powered cars.
Those convertibles would have sold like hot cakes had dodge made and sold them. They look so good.
