Charger daytonas will be EV, Regular Chargers will come with the 410hp and 510hp turbo 6's, glass roof oprional, will be 4 door. Challenger coming back and may even hit the streets first. In gas form they will be lighter than current offerings, supposed new V8 secretly in the works, probably lower displacement and turbocharged. May see something at NAIAS in a couple weeks, but no Dodge press conference scheduled.

Yep, another new car offering I'm not going to be standing in line for.

That car has certainly lost the 'distinctiveness' that it's predecessor had. Just another car on the road. At least as far as looks.


Master, again and still

All of the folks interested in this have previously been turned off by the turd called the Hornet

Thats just a loose concept thats clearly based off a current challenger, expect the production version to resemble it, but dimensions will be different. Will probably look better

Drove by a dealer with one of those, mumbled "Nope" and kept on driving

Are they actually selling Hornet's now? Only one I saw this year was at Musclecars at the Strip and it wouldn't start... laugh2


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Looks kinda like a Challenger nose and Audi sides.
Even though the nose and the hood slot are somewhat interesting, the whole thing does nothing for me.
The powertrain and electronics don't interest me.
I'm confident that they don't give a damn what I think or why, and that I'm not the demographic they're after.

Exactly.

It's not terrible looking but the front needs some changes.

This is the stupidly-named Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Banshee from the 2022 SEMA show. Probably nothing like the 4-door that will be offered, but as a design study, I really like it. It carries it's weight much better than the Challenger, which always looked like they took the original and scaled it up 160%.

Exactly.



Don't fool yourself, It will look even worse when the skin is tightened up and recurved for aromatics. Look, the challenger from 2008-2023 wasn't exactly the fastest (not counting hellcats), most reliable car ever but the looks and old school hemi monsters more than made up for any shortcomings real or perceived, they are gonna lose the things that made em stand out from the rest and they won't sell and they will be discontinued shortly and dodge will just say "we knew there was no market for a hot rod"

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. IMO the challenger production car looked better than the concept

Yep. Got burned too many times on show stuff that morphed at the showroom.
