While I applaud the charger being made optional with the turbo inline-6, they really need to do a new 300 with that setup and give it the interior quality the Grand Wagoneer is getting. Make an EV version also, and the Chrysler brand is back on the map faster than you can say Genesis.

I'd have Chrylser aim for more Semi-lux like what Buick was trying to do a few years ago before they switched almost entirely to sub-compact 3-cylinder crossovers. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the CT6. It was better than any E-Class aside from the 63 at the same price, and it gave the space and ride of the S-Class. What happened was brand snobs like you insisted it wasn't an S-Class, so it was no damn good... when it was never intended to be an S-Class, it was E-Class price but Cadillac sized. It had a far more advanced platform than anything Benz had, it had self driving before Benz did, it had 4-wheel steering and the most advanced suspension.... and even after it was canceled, they still look better than an E-Class The Continental had some packaging issues but was still a very nice luxury car. Chrylser is perfectly capable of putting a nice interior in the 300. They just need to drop the rental spec trims.

I applaud the inline 6 because a lot of automakers should have done the same to their RWD cars and trucks (FORD and GM needed the I6 over their base 4cyl and 6cyl current engines). As for a large sedan, that is the past unfortunately. Stellantis should at least try an EV Chrysler, but it would have to top out where the (alleged) 30K Tesla begins. Chrysler can have a future, if Stellantis would allow one for Chrysler.

Thanx David for the info!!! And yes @SMK. The Charger will get the Hurricane I-6 in both guises. SO and HO. High output... The title mentions Challenger, but the article ONLY talks about the next Charger. But it does mention the EV version. So...the article is a little murky in the details, which doesnt include all that much information to begin with. But...its a good piece to get us excited. Especially what a twin turbo high output inline 6 will do to a possible new platform Charger/Challenger. And the naming possibilites of the SRT model. But as @Drew Dowdell stated: The old platform does need to go. But I do want the new platform to be the size, length and width, as the old platform. But...believe it or not, Im more excited with the EV version. Since I have made peace with the world around us for internal combustion engines going away, and more precisely, V8s going away, I cant wait to get my hands on the EV Charger/Challenger. I am not to sad for V8s going away either if I were to be honest with you. I havent owned a V8 car since the mid to late 1990s. And it was a tired old V8 at that. And it was the ONLY V8 I have EVER owned. Quebec gasoline prices and winters ALWAYS put a dent in V8 ownership. And...a lifetime of driving V6s and (ome or two) 4 cylinder cars, an electric powertrain, even in basic form is a step up. OK...on an equal plane for a BASIC EV powertrain a la Bolt versus a 6 cylinder. A basic EV powertrain for a Charger will be sufficient for me. Dual Motor for the AWD part. Because winter is still a thing in Quebec. Therefore, an EV Charger like the concept will probably BE my next sedan purchase. Unless General Motors does something interesting and muscle-y carish with a Chevy branded EV sedan of its own...

@oldshurst442 @ccap41 @Robert Hall @surreal1272 @smk4565 @trinacriabob @riviera74 @Drew Dowdell Seems you guys will get further Charger/Challanger ICE autos's based on standard and HO 6 cylinder engine. Seems a video shown at the dealer meeting has leaked out also as a Jeep EV. Stellantis dealer briefing hints at midsize Ram, Jeep Recon, Dodge Stealth - Autoblog

Yeah... I definetely see and can agree with your point of view. I am not against a new design language for either a Chrysler or Dodge. What I AM looking for though, is a mid to full sized sedan, from either Ford, GM or Mopar, with muscle car cues, not necessarily retro styled either, but definetely muscle car DNA styling. With a design language that speaks Ford or Chevy or Mopar. So yeah... I am on board with your opinion!!!

Beautiful. I have driven one Chrysler 300 as a rental (for one day, and reviewed it) and several Dodge Chargers. I love both cars. While the appointments are different on purpose and the Dodge is slightly more athletic, the decibel range of what was going on while driving them was about the same to me. I was expecting the 300 to have a slightly quieter cabin. @riviera74 I, too, look upon I-6s favorably. They operate very quietly. They'd have to tweak them to get better mpg out of them. When the Chevy Trailblazer of the 2000s went to a Vortec 4.2 L I-6, the rated mileage was far from stellar. That could have been the upright nature of the vehicle. It might have fared better in sedans and coupes. The one inline 6 we had when I was growing up was almost more reliable than our Olds V8s. @oldshurst442 I appreciate the possibilities you are posting, but I'm hoping car designers can do better than cranking out more and more retros, whether ICE or EV. When Chargers and Challengers had that vertically short inset rectangular front fascia and a similar treatment for the rear fascia, I did not like them at all. That's a chapter in Mopar history I want to forget. But that's just me. People who have those cars and go to car shows will disagree with me.

@oldshurst442 Totally agree with you that I am fine with the V8 going away. I am very excited for the EV generation of performance cars. Love the looks of the Banshee. Could see the Banshee in your driveway as you come out to go to work. I know this is just someones photoshop, but would be freakin awesome to have a Banshee Station wagon.

This year I am taking part in https://www.facebook.com/gentlemansride to raise funds and awareness for men's health and prostate cancer on behalf of the Movember foundation. Prostate cancer affects more men than any other cancer, taking the lives of 307,000 men each year. That number is surpassed by 500,000 men dying from suicide. That's 807,000 men every year. This is a number that must change. Please reach out and give what you can; help support me on my ride by going to https://gfolk.me/DrewDowdell and donating. Thank you, Drew.

IMHO, I totally agree with you that none of this is Porn. The Southern people especially the IDIOTS in Florida are stupid bible thumping idiots that have been brainwashed by double standard religious leaders that have shamed them about their bodies, sex, love and humanity. These are the same folks that tell you to your face to not do this, this, this, this and yet they go out and do everything they just told folks not to do. I always have found it headshaking about the super mega church leaders that have been caught abusing kids, young woman or men and cry on TV as they continue to ask for your money to do gods work. This has continued to reenforce that many humans are lemmings. The old saying an Idiot and their money are soon parted is so true. Nothing wrong in the beauty of the human form, loving a person no matter what as it is what makes our multi-cultural world amazing. Erotic Images from Ancient Times – World History et cetera It is amazing to learn about things that humans feel ward off evil spirits. Not worthy of a story I feel, but this Press release from GMC this morning is cool. GMC and EarthCruiser Collaborate to Shape the Future of Overlanding Brands plan to combine GMC’s world-class reputation for designing and building premium off-road EV trucks and SUVs with EarthCruiser’s proven overland vehicle and global field expertise to create an overlanding upfit solution that is integrated onto a GMC HUMMER EV Pickup, allowing customers to explore the world in a new way. “EarthCruiser designs its vehicles to thrive in the most extreme, toughest environments imaginable,” said EarthCruiser CEO/Founder Lance Gillies. “From the Australian Outback to the Alaskan wilderness and everywhere in between, an EarthCruiser was made to tackle tough terrain. As we consider the future of overlanding, we are continuing to look toward key technologies like electrification that will help us explore for decades to come. Electrification presents exciting opportunities for overland use, such as precise torque control over terrain and ease-of-use, in addition to zero-tailpipe emissions. We’re thrilled to be working with GM’s team of top-tier EV engineers and look to develop an overland vehicle that’s truly made for, and will define, the future of this industry.” The GMC HUMMER EV overlander concept will be unveiled in late summer 2023.

Ive had this thought. It has been bugging me for 2 days. I visited the Parthenon at the Acropolis in Athens many many times. In the 70s, in the 80s, in the 90s, in the 00's and finally in '10s. I have visited the Ancient Olympic site in Olympia once. In 2001. Ive been to Akrotiri in Santorini twice. Ive been to Crete but because of bad timing circumstance, I didnt visit Knossos. (This would be something that has also bugged me, but its not the subjest of why Im writing this) Ive seen lots of old stuff. Ill get back to this later. Ive swam in the Aegean and Ive swam in the Ionian. Ive swam directly in the Mediterranean. Some of those beaches were...lets just say...some men and some women were in their most natural of states. My mom when I was just a kid, my aunts or uncles and cousins and my wife and my kids, myself and other tourists from all over the phoquing world spanning 5 phoquing decades when we were observing history... When I was in school, in Greek school or in English/French school and I with my other classmates, my kids and their classmates, when learning abount Ancient Greek art and history and Roman... Not once, young or old, did I, we, ANYBODY, did we EVER think that we were indulging in porn. What is going ON in some people's heads today in America? We cant blame this kind of thing on the Puritans and their influence... It cant be political. Education about human history or even the looking at a naked human body from a phoquing statue that is not only art, but its of historical value. It aint even sexual in ANY way... I just dont buy that kind of stupidity on an 'ism' whether its a religious 'ism' or a political one. Something is going on and America has to figure it out because it dont look good for America's future. I must say... IM INSULTED by what happened in Florida with a couple of those parents!!! DISGUSTED!!! It not ONLY insults ME as a Greek...because my ancient peoples helped further human history along in advancing the arts, but also taught us to look at our human bodies and adore what the human body is and can be... But it also insults me as a HUMAN. On an intellectual level. A human body. THE naked human body is as natural as nature can be. There is simply NO phoquing excuse as to why somebody wants to limit exposure no matter what age, in learning about our naked bodies. There is NOTHING sexual about looking at a naked body. Forget about sex being natural as well... Its how we become...we. We need to indulge in sexual behaviour to continue on as a species... There are thousands of inappropriate sexual innuendos in American culture. The statue of David is where those morons drew the line? America better figure it out soon. It dont look too good...

True, they are but then we do have many high revving engines an example of this is the Yamaha engine used in their boat/PWC. They have had limited success getting it to be used in an Auto outside of Japan, but here is a 10K to 15K revving engine. Clearly if they can have the engine rev that high, they could put it into the commercial auto market, but their conservative approach puts a limit on the engine. Yet one can imagine the aftermarket of tuners that will dial in these engines and push the boundary of revving.

I would imagine once they engineer the inline 6 for the Charger, to do it in the 300 and do the emissions certification or whatever they need to do would only add pennies on the dollar. But how many people would buy a 400 or 500 hp Chrysler 300? But if it doesn't cost them anything, then why not. I think the ship has long sailed on making Chrysler a luxury brand, or even a relevant brand. You could put the Grand Wagoneer interior in a 300 with the 500 hp hurricane I-6 and charge $50,000 for it, and it wouldn't sell. We saw Lincoln try with the Continental and that bombed, CT6 bombed. Big sedans aren't a market, sedans in general aren't much of a market. And if it were an EV Chrysler, it would have to be superior in every way to a Tesla and cheaper than a Tesla to get people to even consider it, because Chrysler is the past, Tesla is the future.
