From a pure design standpoint I like the connection to a 68-69 Charger …
What connection?? Is it the scalloped design on the doors or the unique tail lights? Maybe it’s the Toronado looking front fenders?

A Challenger body swap?
I like where you're going... I will always be a Barracuda/Challenger fan (I've only had 4 E-bodies, 3 of which I still own) and the 69 Charger ranks just below those...

I think they went after the 90's showcar idea......30 years late. Very stale at this point.

That’s really what it looks like to be honest. Like an actual old 90s concept car.

and why the charge door in the back? So you have to back into your driveway to charge your car?

Bottom line, a huge step backward. No real demand for it, matters not what it looks like. Any wonder TK walked away.

Plaid runs very low 9's for $84k... Stellantis is toast.

Actually $90k because they count the $6500 of gas savings into that price which is kinda disingenuous.

Either way I’m with you the Plaid performance would smoke the EV ScatPack. How many years ago did it come out and Dodge couldn’t even come close. The weight of the Dodge is embarrassing and will eat tires for breakfast. I’m hoping it’s all in the batteries and not the platform. It would be a major fail if the SixPack with its all aluminum TTI6 is over 4,000lbs.

I see the front chin is still a bit collector so there’s that

Ah, yes. The Europeans at Stellantis thinking they know what the stereotypical American buyer wants. They probably think that Capone still runs Chicago.

I just can't see anyone spending $80k for this. Maybe I'm wrong.

I thought I'd never say this, but we're looking at BMW or Audi for our next car.

It also looks nothing like the concept car, not even close. The concept car had a big shelf on the fenders that looked like the old charger. Not even close now. If they kept it looking exactly like the concept it would have been nice. They really butchered this one. The challenger concept car the only thing that really changed was the rear windows don’t roll down, I remember seeing it at the car show before it came out. Just horrible execution for the production car why couldn’t they have kept it closer to the concept
