I guess no one with realistic expectations should be surprised by this. They were forced into abandoning the Hemi unitl T got elected, the other T was fired, and they were able to start turning away from the iceberg. The cupboard was BARE. They cant put any V8 into that Charger without some time to R&D it, make sure it works and then crash testing it and running it through federal certifications etc. That takes a lot more time than you think. Also, people hoping for 2021 pricing are dreaming. Cumulative inflation under prez autopen was nearly 20% That makes a $70k car $90k without anything else changing. MFRs, especially ones that are fighting for their lives cant cut that much. Its a better lineup than they had for the last 2 years which will hopefully keep them from totally drowning.
I dont know why they didnt offer a redeye option for the Durango though...That shouldnt have been a heavy lift unless the parts/mfr line just isnt there because of the Trade shit going on with mexico and there were no engines to stockpile.
Id guess 2027/28 is when we may see something significant (cuda, viper?) weve been hoping for, thats if they can stay in business. Not sure though, Even if the hurricant engine is stable and reliable, in that big ass boat its still nearly .5 sec slower in the 1/4 than my 1320 was. I just cant see wanting a car THAT F'n BIG.
