Yeah, that comment from Sergio rings a bell... but does this mean that they are or aren't going through with it? It's really hard to get a read on this. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in a meeting with he and Gilles!DaveAdmin said:Sergio has said they could not do the D-RWD Alfa without a Dodge version to justify the sales.
I don't think Challenger is the "answer" to Mustang. I think it's a car they were going to do from the start, and Mustang is the most comparable Ford.
Isn't the D-RWD the platform they are rumored to use for the Avenger replacement? Dodge's blue collar 3-series (even though it's a midsize)?DaveAdmin said:Sergio has said they could not do the D-RWD Alfa without a Dodge version to justify the sales.

The Challenger reminds me a lot of those T-Birds. Similar idea of a comfy performance coupe.ptschett said:My Challenger's space in the garage used to belong to my '96 Thunderbird. The T-bird was actually 2-3" longer; I get a little more leeway with how deeply I park now.
If the Challenger had been Mustang sized, it's possible that I would own a Charger today instead. Though I have no need for 4 doors, I wanted better interior room than the Mustang offered.
There are 4 different engines that need to be tested with the new face, V6, R/T, 392HEMI and 6.2SC..Hammer00 said:I liked the Cuda look on the others, but it is encouraging to see additional testing.
Any chance the Cuda-look nose was all a trick to generate speculation/drive misinformation?
You and me both ! If First place is everything what is second place ? :scared:MRGTX said:I have a garage bay that fits my '73 Dart Sport perfectly...and the Mustang is just a little bit tight in there. If the Challenger was shrunk enough to fit, I'd be signing over the title to my Mustang faster than you can say "Hellcat,"
Is anyone else frustrated with the ever changing rumors on these cars? The latest that I have heard is that the 'Cuda is off the table and that the Challenger MAY be lightened up a bit for a refresh... but I feel like I'm getting old waiting for Ma Mopar's next move!![]()
