Well your wife has the C8, guess you could look forward to getting a new slicked out MOPAR...….unless she likes this one more.
Actually i'm tickled to death she commandeered the C8..My plan all along for this year was to add a W/B redeye Charger to the fold...But it looks like that's a next year release...had it been available this year..I never would have sprung for the vette..she loves it...and two weeks in....I still have yet to sit in it...

Looks like they are bringing back the M4S... I may end up with one of those after all.

Isn't your lease almost up?

Who’s to say that they thought there was a leak and they responded with this release to discount notions, or possibly they have several prototypes in the works, lots of variables at play, nonetheless I hope this isn’t the relative basic design target, if it is, 4WD, or lots of wide rubber out back.

As of last Friday...I doubt the design team @ FCA...is working on anything...
If they are salary and can work at home then they still are

If anything close to that comes out, I think it will convert me back to a Ford guy. All these futuristic cars now like the C8 look like total ass in my opinion. I want a car to look like a car, not something off the Jetsons.

Reminds me of the Chrysler turbine car. Another failure IMHO

Agreed @Mike L. But that Turbin car program is what gave Chrysler the edge to beat out GM for the tank contract. They built In 1976 the XM-1 tank X for experimental. By the end of the 70S they were building the M-1
tank. Ultimately leading to the M1 Abrams that General dynamics purchased from Chrysler. To this day it is still the best bad ass tank on planet earth. It was their turbin knowledge that got them the contract.

I think they look mostly like electric shavers.

Somewhere around here I have a poster (post-9/11) that has a beautiful, factory fresh M1 (fully equipped) (hmmm...now that I think about it, I believe it was an M1A1) with the caption "The 2001 Chyrsler New Yorker"

love that

My wife commandeers all my stuff. Toothpaste, socks, razor, closet space, etc. Everything eventually gets taken over. Good thing she's not a nut for cars or the RE would be hers.

I sure hope you're right. Let them build a 6-door Charger that looks like a focus group's dream.
Then leave the Challenger alone, except for taking weight off of it.

They prob have 100 different designs like that people just messing around, I mean how are those headlights even supposed to project more than a few feet?
