It's officially OVER! The End of an Era.. Now What?

- I recently received a video of the last Hemi powered "L" car leaving the Brampton assembly plant, which happened to also be the last Demon 170 produced. This is officially marks the end of the muscle car era as we know it. I share with you my thoughts on this massive transition from Dodge. How does it make you feel watching the very last hemi powered challenger leave the factory?

Horrible decision by Dodge and Stellantis. Hopefully, when they lose billions and eventually decide to reverse this decision, they'll finally understand who and what made them so successful in the first place.
Aye yo I never thought I’d see the legendary Mori here
Good to see your a dodge bro too 😁
Didn't they say that there won't be hemis? Maybe some better V8 is coming?
@bc9477 Highly doubtful. The type of owners they have now are accustomed to kowtowing to government and toeing the line. They're sheep to the federal wolves. They're used to building cheap (and I don't mean economically), weak/underpowered, slow, and lame or lazy designs with no innovations. The Demon was only cool in reality to those who owned them! It was a last gasp of life from a dying era. Well, an era that was strangled and murdered. Now Dodge will be represented more vanilla vehicles that specific types of people will buy. It won't be the guys that paid a quarter mill for a Challenger. It'll be green conscious goobers that want Urkle cars with batteries that have no idea how truly devastating the production process of a battery really is. Dodge is done.
Unfortunately I don't think they will reverse this decision. Just a sad day lol
They don't have a choice...Dodge was paying out the ass in CAFE fines to the federal government to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars so they can financially continue making those vehicles. This is partially why the Charger and Challenger were increased in price to try and make up those costs. Dodge doesn't have any fuel efficient vehicles to offset the horrible mileage and emissions the Charger and Challenger have so they were having to purchase CAFE credits from companies like Tesla which are very expensive.
This is why vehicles like the Dodge Hornet are important to Dodge whether you like the vehicle or not. The more vehicles like that they sell the more Dodge can make a new muscle car and sell it without having to pay those fines. You should want to Hornet to sell very well, even if you don't like it.
2024 mustang is good to break record sales!
You young people are understanding how we felt when the last Hemi car rolled off the assembly line in 1971. We went all the way to 2008 before we saw some cool cars again.😢😢😢😢
I think my enthusiasm and excitement has left along with those cars. The future? I can't really get too excited about it. Yes we've got the Hurricane I6. We should be thankful for that. It has a lot of potential. That said, it's still no HEMI.
The most depressing part about the future? EV vehicles... Those are just not for me. Goodbye HEMI Challenger. You will be missed. 😭
I think they're still lots of fun to be had with these cars, I mean, it's not like Stuff we don't know about them are gonna be found out Or at least much stuff, but the whole reason I got the super stock Is cause I figured Y not Try to get one of the rarest To at least have that to say, but it's just another name Kind of a demon in sheep's clothing With almost a matching price tag, But no fan fair.😢 I mean, it's stupid that the direct connection kits literally just tern it into what it is a demon, Lately even says the same stuff once you do it. Must add 100 octane 2 get blah Blah blah Just need to activate on the uconnect instead of a button. And shhh🤫 But it's really easy to do yourself Not like I was gonna sit there and pay Dodge thousands of dollars for just a little bit of power. But I'm going big with this one.
@BrotherKellerman the R/T had a 5.7 Hemi. It's the SXT and GT with the Pentastar.
Electric American Muscle #1 ⚡️🇺🇸
Vote with your wallet. Ford is still producing a v8 mustang. Tell them you appreciate that by buying one.
@@chuckz28 Thing is though, Ford doesn't make a car that looks like the Dodge Challenger. Nobody has anything that looks like it. It's the only car that stayed true to it's classic roots and resembles anything like the original. Ford did at one time when the Mustang came back, but now all that classic styling is gone. It's now some modern interpretation that resembles nothing like it's 1960's counterpart. :(
As a Brit, looking in from the outside, if you're a Dodge/Hemi/RAM guy the last few years must've felt insanely good. The choices, models, specs, engines, availability, supply etc.
Yeah and that is why the end of the era feels that much worse
proud that i got 2 chargers. going to try to keep them all original and low miles for my kid to experience
It is what it is. Dodge had a great run with the Hemi. So happy I bought mine and I will never get rid of it.
Yup, i still have my 1967 coronet R/T.
Same. I'll own it till I die and I'll pass it down to my son. Not feeling good about Dodge's future, esp. since I've seen maybe 2 commercials for the Hornet (no wonder they ain't selling).
Same here, we have a 2023 Dodge Charger RT Scat Pack with the 392 Hemi V8 in it and man its a beast and it sounds like the God of Thunder.
I am so happy I bought a hemi powered challenger 2023. I bought a 5.7 with a shaker. Triple black. Murdered out the car and I love it.
I'm just sad that there no more of these, at least we have ford and chevy 😮💨😮💨😢
This is why I ordered a BGE Long Block for my Ram. Eventually it will be hard to get these engines and the prices will sky rocket.
Awesome
RIP Dodge
Dodge 💀
🏆Racer X🏆 Mopar has gave us a lot of great rides over the years👀 it's odd when some people just remember the bad things and forget about the awesome great times🍀 thank you Mopar😎✌️
Kind of hard to remember the good things when they're so overshadowed by the horrible. No one here denies the cool things like HEMIS, 'Cats, TRX, Trackhawks, wheelies, etc etc etc but when you have to put out a statement of WHY you're killing anything worthy of excitement that takes longer to explain than what you're actually there for (Kuniskis telling us how much they've lost/paid out for credits) then it consumes any excitement. The Demon was ONLY done to prayerfully hype the brand high enough in hopes of people doing what you're doing now and "remembering the good times" before they turn to trash. If they weren't making the move to priority EV production, not manufacturing a V8 for anything, and not having one single performance car after nearly 2 decades of them, the Demon would've never saw the light of day. That's why they didn't give a flying shot dealers were screwing "The Brotherhood" until it got national press an active duty Marine was shafted and only THEN did Tim Kuniskis lift a finger. But ONLY for that particular case. Not the other 3,299 cars that went over sticker with ADM lugnuts for $99,999.
Man, in 6 years Dodge/Chrysler has killed the Viper, Challenger, Charger, 300, Ram TRX(ALL v8 Rams, Jeep Trackhawk (ALL v8 Jeeps) and what did they give us? One car 98% of their customers can't afford, an import style inline 6 TT that will inevitably have myriad issues when they've claimed the American Muscle crown for decades, and just a whooole lot of uncertainty. If I were in the market for another toy I'd go to Ford and I cry saying that lol. At least they're innovative and kept trying. They were also business savvy to build new models to offset their carbon footprint so they could CONTINUE to build a muscle/pony car. GM is just as guilty killing the Camaro, but Dodge now holds the crown of weakness and mediocrity.
@@GoatPilot04yup, the old chrysler/dodge died years ago...stellantis is crap...and they keep crapping on their customers
@@GoatPilot04you are so right my friend, very well put...
@@jeffrey501green Well, unfortunately it's the truth and saddens me. The Demon, and Kuniskis being brought in was NOTHING but a marketing ploy, proactive CYA and CRISIS MANAGEMENT. Demon and Kuniskis was eye candy and smooth talk to get your eye off the ball. Just ask yourself this...would something like the Demon, a car leaps above the Hellcat (any flavor and it was comparable to GMs and Fords hottest engine so it had market competition thus it was a good move), ever have been made if they weren't going to gut the companies catalog and remove not just EVERY performance model and V8, but 3 entire models regardless of engine and emissions output? No. Hell no. The Demon, as awesome as it is, because it is bad as hell, was a way to buy some favor from Dodge fans in hopes it would last until they figure their messy shit out and bow before the EPA. On the other hand, IMAGINE, if Dodge, GM, & Ford got together and made a plan to tell the EPA to shove it. Well shut down nationwide production of every domestic car in the country, and we're not paying these ridiculous "fines" anymore for you to then donate them via subsidies to BS green companies that embezzlement and waste it then close shop! They had power together and could've lobbied together to stop this absurd push that will NEVERRRRR make its deadline. EVs ARE the future. Even car guys with half a brain see that. But you can't forcefully create an industry and supporting infrastructure in 5 or 10 years. Implement that over 20-25 and gives us a valid plan and maybe we'd support it. But there's no common sense in DC. On EITHER SIDE, red or blue.
Dodge is heading into some lean times. I really believe they are headed back to the dark days of the K-Car era. I loved owning my Mopars but they have become unaffordable for me know. I just looked at a new Scat Pack T/A Challenger 73k with no mark up. That’s just way out of my budget.
Exactly
And it's probably only be going up, with the same dodge quality (being okay, but not very good)
@@jointhefist1016 ..Whats not good with their quality? I never had any issues,cars are well built dont rattle and they last..My R/T had 185,000 miles with zero issues!
Well,K cars would fit in your budget...Aries and Reliant were the K cars...Even the square LeBaron was..The sportier J Body or J Car LeBaron and H body or H car LeBaron GTS were a lot nicer..
The G body or G -Car Daytona/Laser was cool car that did beat 5.0 Fox Body or Fox cars and 5.0 and 5.7 Chevy/Pontiac Trans-Am and Camaro back in the day..
Shelby Charger L body were pretty quick especially for 1980's cars 14-15 sec 1/4 mile cars...Those K cars Aries/Reliant with the Chrysler built 2.2 and 2.5 4cyl ran 300,000 miles and were good driving,solid cars..The Japanese imports were ugly as hell back then for the cars in the same class..
I am a former Toyota Tech (retired at 38 several years ago) and the owner of the dealer I worked for also owned a Chrysler dealer adjoining building..I started in the early 90's and they still worked on Aries/Reliant K cars as they built the K car until 1989..They were as good and better than some Toyota products back then..
Remember people assume the mileage on the odometer is actual,they only went to 99,999 then to 00,000 again Chrysler didn't use a 6 digit odometer until the early 90's on most cars,this is where the confusion begins even with old 60's and 70's cars..They all have 200,000 plus miles! I am a car guy/collector and restorer!
Now,I assume you meant K car Aries/Reliant for the looks,well they have the Hornet for that these days...Dodge is dead and gm will dump a few divisions yet,Ford is electric after 2028 when the Mustang Coupe goes away,only the Mustang Electric suv..
Do what I did,until 2005 I drove 1960's and 70's Mopar cars my daily was a low 12 second 1/4 mile 383 Cuda..383 was pretty much stock,Mopar purple cam and mildly polished/ported heads..I also ran 3.23 gearing..I had and have tons of old cars as I always bought/sold cars since the late 80's as a teen.
I don't mean that they have bad quality
They're okay, but not really good
@@mypronouniswtf5559 Who’s budget? My budget a lot bigger than a K-Car. It’s not a budget issue it’s a inflated price issue. Dodge has went up about 40 percent on MRSP, since 2020. An it’s the exact same dam vehicle.
I’m a 22 year old technician at my local Chrysler dealership and work is so boring it’s all old models I never get excited to see new cars because I know they don’t have any coming I used to get excited to see srt now I barely see any come through the only cars I look forward to are srt cars or wagoneers with the straight 6 😢💔 I’m very connected with the brand as my great grandfather sold dodges so it sucks to see week after week no new cars
Stellantis doesn't understand or care about their enthusiast community over here. I believe it's possible Dodge and Chrysler will be put out to pasture in the future, and Jeep and Ram will be the focus. Stellantis may see Jeep and Ram as the jewels, and Dodge and Chrysler as expendable.
Ugh. As much as I hate to contemplate that, it makes a lot of sense.
True
Mopar muscle car owners who want these high HP ICE in these vehicles are like gun owners - just a small drop in the bucket in a vast ocean of consumers who really don't care about any of it!
Unless the EPA CAFE MPG laws can be changed at the federal level, any one who buys Dodge, or any other company, will be faced with the same problem that Dodge is facing right now with the CAFE standards! They certainly are NOT going to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build an engine and vehicle that they cannot sell or if they sell, they will be penalized to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars - that's what Stellantis is experiencing right now!!! Stellantis now pays hundreds of millions of dollars to Tesla to buy carbon credits for their corporate MPG doesn't meet federal standards!!! So Tesla does nothing but make their battery cars and get paid this pile of money just because the federal government has their hand on the scale tipping it in favor of battery car.
Not if the 2025+ Ram gets a crappy engine like that. It's not a replacement for the V8. regardless of whether it's a Ram or a new Charger
Very sad indeed! Glad that I have my Hellcat and Trackhawk BUT, scary to think that if something were to happen to one of my cars, I cannot head over to my Dodge/Jeep store and replace it...:0
Makes almost not want to drive my scat pack.
Feels like we got nothing 😢. I’ll be keeping my 392 F8 18 Daytona. This is a failure by Dodge by not listening to the listening to the consumers and shoving crap at us.
They are listening to Biden. If only you understood how important that is to do in todays world...
The first sporty/muscle car I ever drove was a Challenger SXT and I absolutely fell in love. I had a Challenger GT shorty after and then a Charger R/T road and track edition like R/T life's blue one and then I traded both of those for a 1320 drag pack. Some silly decisions were made and I sold the 1320 but found myself in a Widebody Scat pack years later. These cars have been such a thrill and a love affair for me and to see them go away possibly forever as the muscle car we all have come to love just hurts my heart. I'll spend the rest of my life trying to chase and collect some of the really special cars from Dodge that have been produced from 2015 to 2023 but as for the future it looks and feels very bleak to a die hard mopar muscle lover.
I know brother and it breaks my heart.
It’ll be just like the 4th gen Camaro. It was the last gen for 7yrs. The aftermarket will be there for it heavily, and it’ll rock on until the manufacturer comes out with something else.
The reason why the 2nd muscle car era is over because the mustang and Corvette already come suped up and out of the price range for entry enthusiasts... No room to build with the core audience. 20-35 year olds are not and will not buy the two cars em mass. If we have to be like Cuba then so be it...
@@newavenues3705funny, very funny!
Love my 5.7 forever!
I fear Dodge will end up with the same fate as Plymouth did years ago.
You would be correct.
Yup
Good
Facts
Dodge will pretty much died out like Pontiac did back in 2009/2010.
This is why I got rid of my Mustang Gt and grabbed me a Challenger 1320. Keeping it!! This is my 3rd Challenger (2009 SRT, HellCat, and 1320)
Hope all is well brother glad to see you posting videos again 🫡🤙🏻
I own a 67 charger and a few months ago bought a 23 charger Daytona, I love driving them both! There is no electric car that can give me the same excitement as the above mentioned cars can! I truly believe their decision signed Mopars death warrant!
That was a dramatic video of the empty lot in Brampton.
I'm glad I was able to get a 2023 R/T for myself, as I doubt anything else will be forthcoming from Dodge in the future.
Makes me love my 1320 even more!
Me too! I have a 2020 F8 Green 1320 w/ 12k miles.
I have a 21 1320 black with 19k
Definition of Depression for us Mopar guy's 😢and gal's.
Great content videos thank you 💯
Reminds me of the book I read when they built the last Gbody Monte Carlo SS and Buick Grand National. Sad story and so is this one😢
Oh man! You’re old😂
Sounds like Chrysler to me, where they only had the 300 and the Pacifica and now they’re dead. Dodge stripped everything away and only left us with the Hornet and Durango. Needless to say Dodge is dead too.
If you have one hold on to it, end of an Era for sure! 😢
I've got my ( bought and paid off) 2023 Sinamon Stick Charger, so, I'm good for quite some time. Still enjoy seeing what's coming soon from Dodge.
Good for you sir ! Wtg man !!
@@jeffnoob8448 I'm 68 and a semi-retired auto mechanic. Never thought I'd ever own a Dodge, but I'd had my fill with GM.Under 850 miles on my Charger GT PLUS and am loving it!
FACTS💯IMMA STICK WIT MY CHARGER AS LONG AS I CAN BUT HONESTLY IM NOT FEELIN ANY OF THESE NEW ELECTRIC OR HURRICANE ENGINES FROM DODGE😮💨💔💔WHEN I GET MY NEXT CAR IM HONESTLY PROBABLY GONNA SWITCH 2 CORVETTE🔥🔥
I've never personally been a big fan of muscle cars, but I know they have a place in the car community and are awesome in their own way. It's a shame to see this happening across the board as well and to that I say my goodbyes to one epic era of automobiles.
Thx Racer X for the XRATED X MATKS THE SPOT OF THE LAST CHALLENGER AND ITS A DEMON NO LE$$!!!
On the edge of 200K subs !!!
I am bummed but I'm sure they've got something up their sleeves. I have a feeling whatever is coming is gonna be awesome
I had a 2021 Charger Hellcat Redeye in Indigo Blue. Its gone now. For those of you who own a Redeye, Jailbreak, or a Demon 170, try and keep the miles off, as in a couple of years, if in good condition, they will already be worth more than when new. Mine was.
It's sad, what concerns me is that Dodge has not shown us any of the new models and has pulled out of the car show circuit, hope they stay around so I'm able to get parts and service for my fleet of Dodges.
They're probably rethinking the electrification after slow sales of other EVs
They’ve got nothing.
Many of us, we can be so happy to own one of these cool cars!
This is the beginning of how dodge becomes bankrupt
Lol why are all these collectors saying they have demon 170‘s brand new never driven in the rain as soon as they’re built they’re stuck out in the parking lot in the freezing rain snow storm and it’s been years enthusiast. I’ve been complaining of brand new hellcats with already rusting on the chassis and undercarriage is Brampton
Like how they are still having Hemi in Durangos in 2024 with special editions too but ending it with muscle cars smh, still mopar fan regardless, always enjoy the content 🔥
Im still baffled that there are only two dodges in the line up going into 2024. They literally had the muscle car market cornered and they leave it behind.. and the car that they might make to replace them has us all scratching our heads still.
Exactly mate
Glad i bought the last 392 plus and will keep it till my number is up. Oh mopar fam definitely put more alarms on the car and take care of them.
Finally, i bought my 2010 thinking it would be something different.
I never dreamed they'd sell um this long.
Living in Brampton near the car plant I'm going to miss seeing Chargers & Challengers going down the road on car carriers, I am so glad I finally got one of the Last Call Hemi cars before they were all gone. Brampton will not be the same.😥
hi, the last ship delivery from Charger and Challener has now arrived at the port of Bremerhaven in Germany.
It makes me very sad that the Americans are also riding the eco horse.
and..., many people don't even know... from 2035, new combustion vehicles will no longer be allowed to be registered in the EU.
Only electric vehicles can now be registered here.
However, used vehicles still retain their registration... although the EU is also working on gradually taxing them at high prices. Damn EU.
Greeting from Germany
Ford is showing GM and Stellantis how to retain an affordable car with a V8! Lets keep the V8's coming!!!! 🦅
Dodge might as well close down now. It'll save them alot of money 😂
Dodge 💀
This might be over for dodge, Jeep, ram, but other American auromakers including European like BMW are plowing forward with next gen V8s. GM for instance just announced an 815 Million dollar investment in the future of V8 engines.
So glad i bought a 2020 charger scat recently. They will be worth a lot down the road with all the EV crap coming out
Its so sad dude 😢 I work with and see several chargers and challengers daily. Not demons unfortunately but, like today it hurt to see a scatpack shaker retuned with door dents, fenders with collision holes in them and chewed up wheels. As someone that takes pride in their ride and would love to have a v8 challenger someday it saddens me to see another beauty with so much damage.
Sad sad sad. It's hard to believe the real excitement is over.
Hello folks.
Thanks for the video RacerX
Boys and girls, I am totally disappointed, shocked and angry that Dodge and Ram are doing this and abolishing themselves.
I'm from Germany and had a 2011 and now a 2018 ram 1500 5.7l hemi.
The engines and the sound are incomparable.
The Hemi is certainly not perfect, but it has gotten everyone from A to B for over 20 years.
Some have already expressed their opinions here. positive or negative.
In Germany/Europe, the Ram 1500 is in first place among all three US truck manufacturers. and it is bought because of the V8. !
Ram truck had 5 years to develop a new one and what should replace it. ?! A shitty inflated forced-cooled 3l bulkhead engine??!! Honest!! It was a mistake for FCA to team up with the French for this measure.
I hope that you over the pond, dodge and ram fire under the ass and that you feel that it was a single mistake. No electric or twin turbo crap can replace a V8.
My 2018 Ram consumes 11l - 100km - 21.3814mpg depending on the weather
And I don't need a V6 or even any electrical junk.
Please don't buy this shit and make it clear to Dodge/Ram what's under the hood.
especially CEO Kuniskis.
Thanks.
I think they should include a 4.0L inline 6 TT Hurricane for heavy duty applications. Like for 2500 and 3500 pickups and maybe a new Viper.
Damn! That sucks,and also cmon people so close to 200K!💥
I live within a short drive to that plant I hope they have plans to build something there for the sake of all the workers
Lots of families hope so too.
Well I’m definitely holding on to my charger scat pack and I just bought a ram rebel truck with the 6.4 liter v8 hemi they may or may not become more valuable 😅
6.4 is a great engine in a truck....has the redeye block...
SAD, VERY SAD
Reminds me of the Gas Lines and Insurance rates of the 1970s.
It was the end of the Muscle Cars back then.
Looks like the Automotive Industry will be going back to Paint Jobs and Stickers!!!
Glad I got my 2022 C8 HTC & maybe I’ll get my ZO6 Allocation soon?
Been a good ride boys, i like most of us will not be buying any of their electric crap. Maybe in a few years Stellantis will realize this mistake and bring back the Hemi, unfortunately the reality is they probably will just close Dodge down altogether, i give Dodge about 5-8 more years before it's gone. Rip
It all started with the birth of Stilantis and the death of Sergio (Marshinio)A real car guy.Not the kind who listens enthusiastically to a proposal to kill off current best selling rear drive V8s.And then replace them with (still experimental)battery powered /fake exhaust (sounding)or 6 cylinder powered dork mobiles.
Funny, bur true....
Agreed 100% brother
Still going to be mopar or no car for me right now, Mainly because I have two hellcats And could not afford to get in to something else right now 😢 But either way. I will say that the Gen 6 ZL1 Camaros look pretty damn nice....😮 darn, that's right, They're going away too. Although one of my dream cars is also a C7 ZR1 But the new corvettes are just not for me & the C7 ZR1 Is damn expensive, And that is coming from somebody who just bought a superstock🧐
FACTS💯WITH THE WAY DODGE IS GOING IMMA HAVE 2 GO CORVETTE NEXT💯
The ZL1 is FUN. A 'Cat/Demon may take it in a straight line, but they have no chance in hell on a turn or a course. That Camaro shines on a track and has so much more you can do to it. Rides much better too, and I love the Challenger. I predict Ford is going to make BANKKKKK with the Mustang the next 5 to 10 years now. BUT that NEXT ZR1 and Zora....will be a thrilling beast of a ride.
Just so unfortunate that this muscle car era has to come to an end. At least back in the 70's manufacturers still produced the nameplates. While not quite as powerful, many were still cool cars in their own right.
However, the social climate today has way too much momentum to give engineers a chance at keeping the i.c.e. V8 alive.
All we can really do is pray for some really cool, fun to drive vehicles in the future. Of course, also saving our pennies knowing the muscle car future is going to be rebuilding the classics.
I have two mustang cobras and two Shelbys GT500and GT 350R one Chevrolet Camaro ZR1 I have never had A Dodge muscle car I have room in the garage for one more car maybe I’ll have to get a hellcat challenger When these interest rates come down 👍🏻
The Brampton plant has a 2 year re tool plan, and the new EV charger will be made there for the year 2026
So what that means is 2024 calendar year is just the whorenet and oldrango in Dodge’s lineup?
charger and challenger production moving to Windsor Assembly plant.Jeep Compass coming to Brampton.Sad news.
This is so sad I am so glad I bought my 2021 scat pack wide body when I did
It's time for a Dodge to come out with the retro Barracuda..
I was watching mecum and someone from Dodge told one of the announcers say, stay tuned news is coming out very soon from Dodge
Im sure the energizer or duracell versions will come out in a year or 2.
The. Big problem is the government if the government was not pushing ev cars and trucks this problem whould not happen
What do you think the unopened garage doors for the 24 months of muscle are? Obviously one of them is the new charger. I believe not counting the charger there are 4 others ??????
Well I have my 2015 scat pak shaker 392 with less then 15,000 miles ill enjoy that
It'll all gome full circle eventually just like it has when they made the srt8.
Not the end of an era for me, Bro. Mustangs will keep being made until 2028 so American Muscle isn't dead yet. Unfortunately, choices are. I plan to keep my 6 Speed 2018 GT until it drops or I do. I own it free and clear. Being debt free is fun. Not getting into debt to buy a car.
Smart man brother
@@CJColvin Thanks Bro.
@thullraven1 You're welcome brother, we have a 2023 Dodge Charger RT Scat Pack Widebody with a 392 Hemi V8 in it with 485 HP and 475 Ibs of Torque and man its a beast.
So Sad… So Sad.. Sorry to say that I’ve moved on to a different auto maker already:(
Yip moving on also had been a dodge guy for over 55 years..
This will go down in history as one of the dumbest automotive decisions of all time.
Yep you got it brother
The beginning of Dodge's ongoing slide into complete mediocrity
I wouldn't cry to long, the secondary market is well stocked with every variation of Chargers and Challengers that was made by the factory in the last few years. And quite frankly, I'll be glad to move on from all the nonsense from the new car dealers trying to sell the new cars.
Turn out the lights...the party's over.
Yes a very sad day it is sorry to see it over I have the old dodges 60 nines and 70s and I've got the turbo daytonas shelby's so I'm set for cars what it said to see it over for the people that want a newer more creature comfort more high tech stuff yeah so sad
A sad moment in the car enthusiasts community 😢
😢
Yep you got it brother
Sad to see the charger and challenger and camaro and Infiniti q50/60 and kia stinger go 😢
The end of Dodge. Don Mcleans song American pie fits the end of Dodge.
Right on buddy!!
I gotta say, I’m just not buying it. The infrastructure isn’t there for electric cars, so I’m skeptical that it’s truly the end
Yeah it isn't here. Probably like 5 to 10 years at least.
But that doesn't mean they're gonna keep making big hemi v8 cars because of it
@@jointhefist1016 yep at least that, and I’d honestly say it’s closer to 10 than 5. But even then I mean can an electric truck tow what as much as v8 can all day on one tank of gas/one charge? And then gas companies will go out of business as well leaving millions upon millions of people without vehicles potentially. Then on top of that I can fill up my truck in about 5 min tops, I’ve seen electric cars take up to 30 minutes causing major lines and delays. Also many “off brand” charging stations may not even work for your vehicle. It’s gonna be a huge change and I think forcing it now is just dumb by the powers that be, I just think the world is ready for it.
I don't think gas companies will ever go away. Plastic and stuff.
But they might get smaller, maybe merge with each other, few may shut down
The hornet isn’t doing well what a shocker 😂
I’ve seen maybe 10 Hornets on the road with women behind the wheel. Men know better.
I think Dodge is going away like the Roadrunner 426 hemi did.
Do you think they're "faking it" only to come out with another V8 later this year?
There is a rumor they are actually developing a new HEMI V8 engine. I don't think it will be supercharged or anything like that but it would be maybe something like the 5.7 HEMI in a way with all new technology inside it.
Factory worker here... not impressed with their decision to axe these cars. We're going to go back to work in two years to the shitty jeep compass.... SMH
Oddly Windsor and lots of mopar insider sights keep claiming that the NEW 24 Challenger will be built starting in June of 24 and the New Charger will be built starting in September 24 and there will be both gas and electricity variants of both cars! As far as I know we haven’t seen a 24 Challenger!! 🤷🏻♂️
I wonder where they all of the sudden take them
yeah I agree Racer-X Here we go into another 'malaise era'. They could have kept making the 'Challenger, Charger, & 300's' and made the little battery go-karts with Ipad interfaces, over in the corner of the plant in Brampton. There is no demand for battery go-carts. You suck STellantis. Dam eurotrash done run Dodge into the ground. Jeep is next !
Keep on Racer-x Best regards chuck
How about a new 440 challenger
Discontinuing the challenger when the replacement isn’t even out yet is stupid times infinity. They’re basically telling people that they want to lose money. I doubt dodge can keep their name alive if they discontinue the old challenger and release an EV one that isn’t as fast or faster than the demon 170.
The wife works for Stellantis and she said the challenger is no more with nothing in the works. The new Charger will be it going forward.
How do you not know this with you providing information to people? Brampton Compass production is moving to. Windsor will start production of Challenger in summer and Charger the fall. Windsor paper reported in this months ago with the union agreements.
Dodge dug its own grave at this point
You are watching the Death of Dodge. The Hornet is not going to save them. To many better options out there for a small SUV.
The hornet is a pos failure, dodge is doomed...
Dodge is headed for Bankruptcy
