" The Dodge Challenger won the Detroit pony car war again in 2022, managing to outsell the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro for the second consecutive year. Not bad for a basic design that dates back to the 2008 model year.
U.S. sales figures show Dodge sold 55,060 Challengers in 2022, which was up about 1% from the previous year."www.motorauthority.com/news/1138356...ord-mustang-and-chevrolet-camaro-in-2022

On the plus side...the next generation Mustang kinda looks like a Camaro....which happens to also be one ugly car.
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Not sure its a fair fight considering all the shortages. Mustang usually wins The challenger has been gaining ground since they came out, this is not new because of the shortages. And of course dodge is going to shoot their selves in the foot and ax it in favor of a vacuum cleaner.
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

At least Fird is doing what Dodge should have continuing to sell the gas one along with electric. For a while Stelantis was touting the upcoming 6 cylinder so hopefully something is in the works with it. There should be but the 6 cyl will also be a hard sell, even with 410 and 510hp

Did you not read the headline? Challenger outsells the competition. Again. And the competition has convertibles. Does that not tell you something?

Dodge does have a challenger convertible for 2023, but I have no idea how they plan to build them. Apparently they have an agreement with a custom shop in Florida to do them after you order it. I think they will get a lot of orders as there is probably "a bit" of pent up demand after never offering any since 2008. I use to work in an ASC convertible factory, for the Toyota Solera, not exactly a strong seller like the challenger and the plant still ran 24/7. We were a separate factory down the road from the Toyota plant that built the cars, they first showed up as bodies in white to get the roof cut off and bracing welded in, then they went back to be assembled, then came back to us for convertible top and finishing. I have no idea how Dodge plans to run 20,000~ challengers through a small shop in Florida, and maybe they figured that out because you still can't order one

Challenger does surprisingly well with younger folk who: 1 Have no interest in golden era muscle cars. 2 Don't even know or car about the 1970 -74 Dodge Challenger. The mimicking of those classic lines does very well and non gear heads buy them because they flat out like the look. The V8 power options are an attraction too. On modern Mopar discussion sites anytime an "Older gent" mentions how great the Hemi is all the younger members automatically think of the modern Hemi and an LS and modern Hemi debate ensues.
Keep old mopars alive.

Yep, rented one many years ago on a business trip to Thousand Oaks, CA. Well not intentionally, Enterprise was out of the car I initially reserved and gave me a choice of colors on a Challenger. Tough time at first picking a color until I looked around and saw all of the white cars of every variety in the lot and on the road. Nice driving car that I "took the long way home" with the spare time before and after the job I was there to do. Coast Highway, Queen Mary and crawling for two and a half hours that would normally, without too much traffic, take about an hour to get from the Queen Mary to Thousand Oaks. I HATE LA TRAFFIC. So I returned down the coast highway to LAX to return the Challenger, but first with a stop at the Hot Rod Magazine shop for a private tour. Don't know if it's still there off of Wilshire Blvd??

Cool. I have family in Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village. Been there several times. Was a ton of fun, but way too crowded for me to live there. And you have to work your schedule around traffic volumes. My relatives rarely go into L.A. because of the traffic getting there. That and the 'other' problems there. With air travel the way it is now, we will probably never go back.

Hard to believe that so many sell each year from a body style that is basically the same since 2008. It just goes to show America loves a nice looking 2 door musclecar with V8 power regardless of gas prices and all the EV hoopla.
