Has anyone heard any more info if Dodge is going to make the new Charger? It looks like it will be a sweet car with over 327hp! Although it was setup for natural gas but I wonder if they will change it to normal fuel.

They have? Interesting. In the latest Motor Trend they mentioned that Dodge hopes the Charger will bring life back into the company (or something like that).

latest news is that both the rwd charger and rwd hemi -coupe have been killed. There is a new supercharged V-6 coupe prototype with 280hp making the show circuit.

Mercedes does not want the competition in the coupe category with its own products. But hopefully you are right and the charger will live.

They will never learn. The prowler is 2 cylinders short the Viper is 2 short...come on. A car that looks as cool as the Prowler needs a v8 sound coming from it and just face it the Viper sounds like a UPS truck. Dodge/Chrysler has lost it permanantly with the purchace by Damiler. Ugh...from bad to good and back to bad again.

I miss the Aries K and Daytona Turbo Z...remember those?

Ahhh... now it seems that DaimlerChrysler has just announced that they will be cutting some 26000 jobs it doesnt look good for Dodge...

The Charger is nixed but the Hemi 300 C is a go.. should be a cool car... but not as cool as the charger would have been..

I got my Dart out yesterday I think that it has a serious vapor lock problem.. it runs great for about 15 minutes then runs like shit! :- anyone know of a shop that could help with this type of thing?
