Challenger still kind of looks the same and the charger looked better before they gave it a facelift. So is that challenger supposed to be the new hellcat or what?

Refreshed Challenger and Charger...thoughts?
I've never been a fan of dodge. There's a reason why Daimler group dropped them like a hot potato after a few years of ownership. Everyone that I know has had some sort of issue and their wear items seem to last only a quarter as long as GM's or ford's. Their trucks have that caravan look and feel. Ew.

The charger looks like a grown up Dart...but still ugly.
Challenger looks good, and I think the shaker system is a great add on.

Slightly larger than a Explorer bit not as big as the expedition or Tahoe. She won't drive something that big and doesn't want the grand Cherokee because sister in law has one

Yeah, I can understand that. My mom has the Expy EL, and it's pretty damn big. But she's been used to driving Econoline's for at least 12 years.
Why not get an SRT8 GC? Still haul the car, and would be better than the SIL's. /sarcasm
Is that 5k towing the Ecoboost Explorer?

Damn, that's kind of sad...especially when the older v8 exploders could haul 6-7k

Have you seen the sticker SRT8 GC or even a fully loaded GC. It will blow your mind. Most Dodge dealerships don't even keep a single SRT8 GC on the lot. They'll have Viper before a SRT8 GC

Crazy some of the issues y'all had. My dad had no issues on his srt8 chally, and I had no real issues on my 2 rams that were beat on everyday(wot into 2nd prime, big no no). One time I had to take one of them to the dealer for what I thought was a rear end or transmission issue(tc light flashing even in 4th gear), and the dealer asked what times I ran a couple days earlier(track numbers and dial in still on it). Dealer had no issue checking out the truck, even gave me a fully loaded challenger R/T for a loaner
But back on topic, I like a lot of the new changes. Just feel bad for the guys that are paying markups for the 2014 shaker models, when they're gonna make them in 2015 :/

Love the new challenger, hate the dart. . Err charger.. why.. just why? And yeah build quality sucks on those cars.. it's sad also because for the price... one of the guys I work with keeps his srt8 chally in the garage and drives his 89 f150 most of the time because according to him. It's more reliable, as for the ram .. yeah I used to off road pretty serious, the ram always died first.. you don't see many ram work trucks.. There is a reason

Well hopefully the price stays in line with the current R/Ts then. If this is the case then it's what I have been hoping for. An R/T that finally is in line with the SS and GTs it's priced with.
Sounds extremely tempting for a trade.

There's never been a Dodge with a 392 and Brembos for under $40k. Not happening.
