Dodge to cancel Charger and Challenger next year

[Blk04L]

Dodge will discontinue its Challenger and Charger muscle cars next year


Definitely surprised at this. One thing to cut the hellcat engine but to kill those two models is surprising.

Stellanis has gone from hellcat everything to ev everything.

Wonder how much longer they'll keep making the TRX.

I’m honestly a little surprised dodge is giving up like this

Last year for Emissions testing for my 2003 Cobra. Nice to be free of that BS. Soon the ICE performance cars will be all used. Like 1974 all over again. Not surprising at all considering the regulations that have amd are rolling in.

FROM THE ARTICLE -
"For several years, Kuniskis has warned that the end was coming for the gas-powered muscle cars due to emissions regulations. Dodge parent company Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler, ranks the worst among major manufacturers for U.S. corporate average fuel economy and carbon emissions.

As many brands switched to smaller and more fuel-efficient engines, Dodge rolled out Hellcat models and other high-performance vehicles. Such models helped generate attention for the brand but didn’t help the automaker’s carbon footprint, forcing it to buy carbon credits from automakers such as Tesla."

I did. But you'd think they would still sell the 6 cyl, or maybe make a hybrid or some shit. Even the 6 cyl are all over the place.

They mention an “electric muscle car”. I don’t think they know what a muscle car is

The "offset" from the small car sales apparently were not nearly enough. Just follow the Tesla credit sales.

FCA (stellantis) spent about $2.4 billion to buy Tesla’s environmental credits from 2019 up to 2021.

High performance ICE is not economically feasible anymore. At least for Stellantis with no Evs in the lineup to offset.

Fake ICE exhaust sound speakers coming to your muscle car EV soon

Wish I would have been born in the 50s or 60s instead of the 80s.
