The ram truck was named truck of the years for 2 years in a row. Sales are up, there cars are selling. So why don't you read the news before you come off saying Chrysler should of turned it's self around like GM. I'm glad all the big 3 are selling cars and trucks. Detroit is predicted to be the next come back city according to msn and others. There are allot of young start up companies moving there. Sirius radio moved there HQ there. Microsoft is having a office there. They are making lofts out if the old buildings there. When the big 3 are doing good other companies are also doing good. And this is just my option as you said in your comment.
You do know that foreign makes employ thousands of hard working Americans as well right? I hope you're not hoping that these businesses don't succeed and put American families (many of whom are military veterans!) on the street.

I've never been a car fanatic even though I'm a guy, but I have to admit if I had the cash I'd get this car.

I love that it has an 8 speed automatic.

Two brand new Dodges that I regard as poor quality is enough to keep me from Chrysler.
I almost forgot about the new S class Mercedes Benz that was also a POS that I bought new in 1984.

I never diss autos because of others dislikes. I buy, I drive and then I make my own opinions.
And you base opinions on a lack of critical thinking and hypocracy. Again, a car or truck from 30 years ago has ZERO BEARING on what is being made today. But your opinion is too closed minded to see that.

I love the look of the Challengers. Really reminds me of the XB falcons we had back in Oz when I was growing up.

I'd imagine the rear tires wouldn't last long...

I'd love to have an xb just as much as it's mustang counterpart. Parts should interchange.

I do not like the fact the Hellcat Engine is built in Mexico, but other than that.... it looks like a pretty cool car.

I will add, I look forward to putting the hurt on the 1st one that lines up with me.

I know the Hellcat is more like the Camaro ZL-1 & Shelby Mustang GT 500 but would it not be more useable and affordable and just as fun to pick up a 2-3 Year CPO 6.4 Hemi SRT-8 Challenger and add an aftermarket Supercharger..

I mean sure you won't have 707HP but 600HP-650HP at the crank would just be as fun and cost about 1/2-3/4 less then what seems to be the Dodge version of a low production supercar car that is produced in low volumes to sit in collectors garages and priced sky high over the Standard versions alot like the 2014 Camaro Z28 is compared to the SS and even the ZL-1.
