Sad to see the end of the Challenger/Charger and Hemi engines....
China is the enemy.

Well, we can always hope that we can get 50 years of fun from our current crop of muscle cars like we did the last crop.
Master, again and still

I don't share the hosts enthusiasm regarding celebrating the end of their production. I'm not sure why share holders would either, considering they don't seem to have a problem selling anything they can put out. Savvier business folks than I are calling the shots so I'm far from an expert but once the brand goes full EV I will no longer entertain a new car to fill any part of this hobby for me which will be a sad day. I agree. All electric? I hope they crash and burn for embracing the BS EV crap. May they fail in spectacular fashion and once again lower their heads in shame looking for a government bailout.

There is one thing that seems to be overlooked, esp. with the Hornet: Dodge hasn't put out a new model since the Dart. That was 2012. Chrysler's history looks like this: Find something that works, run it into the ground, realize the finances are screwed, panic, hit a home run, repeat. So far, the only mistake I see made is that the Hornet GLH is a Direct Connection parts-bin concept and not a production model. If Kuniskis' power hints are any indication, that's over 400 ft/lb in a crossover the size of my right foot with all wheel drive and Brembos. How that can't be entertaining is beyond me.
Yes, the Charger/Challenger sell. But how long can they go on? At some point the market hits "familiarity breeds contempt" and turns. And the manufacturer needs to be ahead of that mark, not behind it.
