Pondering a car purchase and one of them could be a new 1320. Last I heard, Dodge was talking like 2022 was the end of this platform. Is that still the case?
I want my fair share

They are smart, milking a cow until it stops producing. But if one is not hooked on a name or brand that in reality is all that it is anymore and looked at other producers there are some nice cars being produced that can do alot more then just straight line performance as an overall package. But at the same time, why re tool now when there are so many world factors that my change soon.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Now they are saying that the platform will go to 2024 If they keep selling , why not Yes, I scour the internet looking for reliable sources. The last I read was a redesign has been delayed once again and the current LX platform will remain through 2024, with some updating. Most agree the next gen will be on the Alfa Giulia platform, which is supposed to be a good one. The big question is engines. Will a V8 still be available or only turbo 6. CAFE standards may be raised again soon, so I'm worried. I know a turbo 6 can produce as much power as some V8's, but it'll never do it for me.
Facts are stubborn things.

Good. Maybe he will give us a new Viper. If he does, it will be electric.
I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!
Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

The next platform will probably need to support Hybrid and EV drivetrains.
With the hatred of gas engines growing, I would be milking the platform as long as possible, too.
Thanks, Scott

What will kill the Challenger is gas prices going up.
I don't think it will kill the name, but I think it's going to make it a hybrid, or turbo, or both, and no more V8 It'll go electric before anything else, same with the charger. You have two low 9-second electric sedans on sale right now, so they'll likely go in that direction eventually. Hard pass on electric, even if they're 9 second cars. Problematic and expensive and just not the same sound and feel that I love. I guess I'm old fashioned.

Way less moving parts, motors will be from suppliers, chassis too - the only thing mopar will be the body, like pro stock or nascar today, thats the future, like it or not/ "I dont make the rules, just the messenger"

Now they are saying that the platform will go to 2024 If they keep selling , why not Pretty much what this article says: Really interesting read! I included an excerpt. https://www.hagerty.com/media/opini...ontent=20_November_21_Newsletter_WeekendOn the other hand, they managed to singlehandedly preserve the concept of the desirable American-branded sedan after Ford and GM abandoned the field in cowardly fashion. They make cars that look like four-wheeled thugs and brutalize racetracks into submission while also pairing with two Bluetooth devices at once and offering wide-angle rearview camera. Heck, the Challenger alone comes in specs from “stick-shift track rat” to “Friday-night drive-in throbber” to “203-mph wide body” to “AWD winter specialist.” Name another car that can do that. Not even the BMW 3-Series has that kind of range any more. The Challenger and Charger, by their very continued existence and success, expose an unpleasant truth in the auto industry—namely, that pretty much every new design of the past decade is optimized for: * Chinese tax laws * EV and hybrid compatibility based on future California legislation * Euro pedestrian protection laws * Various social and political imperatives embraced by the automakers
