      The Buick has more torque than any stock street hemi at 510Lb ft.

      Came here from the Hyundai RN24 video and I find it funny how different the comments on that video are from the comments on this one. I personally don't care if the car is electric, as long as it's a good car and fun to drive. However, I absolutely hate the fact that they put all the effort into making fake noises using speakers, instead of unleashing the whine of the electric motor, almost as if they're afraid of their own community. Imagine what kind of sound we could've gotten if engineers put in the same effort for sound design in EVs as was put into the Lexus LFA.

From a safety aspect alone it's a great idea, but it gives feedback to the driver which has been missing from EV's. This will change everything and soon they will all be doing it.

I‘m not even here to discuss EV vs ICE though. I recently drove my father‘s Taycan and it‘s the most amazing and smooth thing for daily driving. But I‘d never in a million years consider taking it out of the garage on a sunny sunday just for the pleasure of it. There‘s literally zero emotion and zero reason to drive it for anything other than getting from a to b. This charger unfortunately is aimed at a target group that likes cars, not as a means of transport but simply because they like cars. That‘s why almost nobody will buy it. They don‘t look for the sterile and smooth driving experience and let‘s face it, the immediate torque is not more than a party trick that you show your friends who have never been in an EV but don‘t actually do yourself because there is zero reason to do so after you‘ve experienced it 3 times.

      It's a bit different imo. Jaguar was dying and a strong rebranding could be one way to save it; providing the new vehicles would be more appealing (or no rebrand at all, just make the existing line up more appealing i.e. more reliable, which was never Jag's strongest suit).
      Stellantis is *actively* killing the brands it bears for no absolute reason at all. People were still perfectly happy with the cars FCA and PSA were making, but for some reason they wanted a more massive merger under a truly shtty management that is Stellantis.

      they're using it as a marketing scheme because many people hate electric cars for the lack of engine sounds and they think the answer is piped in audio of a hemi which is downright disgusting because it doesn't change the fact that the car has no soul without the real thing under the hood

    I found out there will be an ICE version with the twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-6 Hurricane engine in 2025. Dodge is doing the same strategy as Maserati did with the new-gen GranTurismo by launching the EV version first, then followed by the ICE version some time later.

    The new Charger has proven to be very divisive, and from other journalists, they claim that the drive modes seem to be calibrated out of whack, where the car feels faster in auto rather than track or sport. Which is strange to say the least. But Tom, if you are reading this, I wanted to give a shout out to your review of the Challenger back in 2009, in the Fifth Gear days, and how enthusiastic you were about the car. I was youngin at the time, but I found that review so entertaining, any who, I guess the future is now!
