2025 Charger is out for the press

[dishdude]

I like the looks, the interior has a lot more room than I was expecting. I didn't realize it was a hatchback! Pricing is high, interesting to see them bring back the Dodge emblem from the 60's, would have preferred the Pentastar. IDK about this, I can't see it doing well but I think it's a good effort. Not crazy about fake exhaust sound on an EV, what were they thinking?

No one expected the Hellcats to be nearly as popular as they were…. 57,000 of them total by 2020. I think if the “V8 OR DIE!!!!” blowhards remove their heads from a dark space long enough to give one a chance they’ll probably love it too.

I’ll take mine with a straight 6 though. And 4 door because 4 kids.

Like the looks

Good horsepower but these types of cars haven't been on my radar for a few decades now.

 

[joekingcorvette]

The car really does look like a 68 or 69 Charger. I like a lot of the retro vehicles and wouldn't mind having a Hellcat.

 

[hrv]

The Charger should have been a 2 door all along....

 

[rijndael]

I wonder if the Dodge brand will survive all of Stellantis' financial problems.

On the plus side, the oil filter housing leaks shouldn't be an issue.

That fake sound has to go. A decent effort but at this point it is just another nail the Stellantis coffin IMO.

You really think so?

I think if more of the public knew what was going on with corporate Dodge, they would steer far, far away from the brand.

I had just gotten used to identifying the Charger/Challenger pair with a simple mnemonic: The 4-door is a Charger because they charge more for the extra doors. The 2-door is a Challenger because it's a challenge to get into the back seats. And now they go and do this... I just can't win.

But now you can charge the Charger.

Shouldn't it be called the Dodge Discharger ?

 

[rijndael]

That will probably be shorted to Discontinued

 

[Wireman1987]

I like it.

 

[Marcozi]

That's the weirdest looking engine!! /s

 

[DuckRyder]

I think its a good looking car.

It is huge

Glad someone had the forethought to make a Hurricane powered model. I predict those outsell BEV version.

Stellantis is DONE. Will be sold piecemeal to other automakers.

Do you mean Stellantis will sell the former Chrysler parts - or Stellantis will get bought ?

Stellantis has one of the lowest debt loads in the entire auto industry - like $30B long term debt on $200B in sales. There literally the best in the industry except for Tesla, 6X better than Ford, 4X better than GM.

Just about every auto OEM is going to need to restructure with the slow down in global sales and higher rates. However Stellantis has the balance sheet to do it. In fact, they may actually by in a position to...

Like the look, not as impressed with the interior, think the sound thing is a bit gimmicky, but my wife would like that. Standard features are great.

My friends drop dead gorgeous i8 plays engine noises through the radio. She thinks it's stupid. IMO, this car is so incredible, who cares?
