It’s really a shame that so many companies are still jumping on the EV bandwagon. I’m still not sold on it. I’m all for hybrids and trying to obtain better fuel mileage but with muscle cars like this, it’s just not the demographic. Muscle car guys don’t care if the Model S next to them can beat them. It’s not what it’s about. Cars should evoke an emotion in the driver and I feel like we’re losing touch with that more and more. Hoping for a change to more positive advances in the future though.

Dodge did understand that. From what I understand, they’re trying to give the Charger EV that more visceral experience. That’s literally what the whole presentation on the car was all about. And the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N proves that this is indeed possible, as many have described it to feel a lot more like a traditional ICE hot hatch than an EV SUV. I feel that more ppl should give the EV Charger a chance because at least they’re trying, and a lot of ppl saw that it was an EV and just assumed it was going to be boring and soulless like all the others

The only advantage the new Charger has over its predecessors is more space. But we definitely don’t want AWD in such an American performance car, even if it provides extra traction and even if it has RWD mode because it’s not full-time. The engine is the most obvious. If there are too few, if not no offsets, carbon credits can be bought from other brands such as Tesla but Stellantis decided not to do that anymore. Finally, even the trunk is unwanted because it’s a tailgate which means it’s not a true sedan/coupe anymore, unlike its predecessors. It’s just these that have to be changed, in order to match its predecessors, since they were extremely popular.

Man, I don't wanna hear it from the so-called Dodge fans. When Dodge was giving the customers V8's galore while paying for it on the back in. The customers were so so happy!! Right, and that's why there are plenty of V8s sitting on dealer lots right now!! Because people want more for less, and it's been beyond delusional. They gave us the 5.7, 6.1, 6.4, 1320, drag paks, SRT variants, 6.2 Supper charged, Redeyes, Jailbreaks, Supper stocks, Demons, Demon 170's, and all of the special additions. Yet all I'm hearing from people is what have you done for me lately!! Y'all don't get it. While everyone else was going the so-called boring V6/I6 turbo or 4 cylinder/I4 turbo engine route. Dodge was giving the customers what they wanted, V8's. Plenty of them, by the way. Oh, and now that they're forced to make changes because of emissions, the so-called Dodge fans can't understand or be or reasoned with. Give me a break, what a joke. SMH🤦🏿♂️
@DeiHarper93614 ай бұрын
Dodge wants 50k+ for the hornet..imagine what even the 5.7s are going for. I e seen them going for nearly 60k when scats was going for 40-45k back years ago. I get inflation, but that’s ridiculous. It’s not that people want the cars for nothing, it’s the fact that prices are damn near doubling because it’s the end of an era.
@mike_johnson874 ай бұрын
@DeiHarper9361 Come on, man. That's a terrible argument. First of all, the base model Hornet starts at $31,400. Second, every car company had an increase in prices during all of this inflation. What was the starting price for Kia, Nissan, Handa, Toyota, etc, years ago? No where near what they are now. Yet their customers are still paying for them. Last but not least, you don't have to pay 60+k for a scat pack. You do have to pay that amount or higher for one with way more options. To be clear, that's the case with every other car brand. Back to what I said, Dodge's so-called fans want more for less. Well, get in line because most people in the middle to lower class feel the same way. It just seems like other car brand fans are much more reasonable with reality and expectations. As opposed to blaming Dodge for changing things they could not control.

I think 95% of people like the looks! They just hate it cuz its an EV. The design is terrific I think and looks very good doing down the road. There is an on off switch for the exhaust as they stated before. Its like line lock, you can turn it on if you want to use it by default it will be quiet. Its unfortunate that the US Gov and EPA has forced automakers to do this and go the EV route. Dodge stayed true to their roots mostly by doing NO EVs and staying with big V8s but once Biden got in office they knew it was only a matter of time. Thats at least why FORD came out with the Mustand mach E so they could offset emissions and also got rid of all their sedans. Smart move but unless we change whos in charge in the GOV, EVs will be here to stay until they realize what we already know and thats that they arent ready to be mainstream and we dont have the grid to support them all.
