I suspect one day FCA will be caught with their pants down.
They keep pumping what little R&D funds they do spend, into high powered, rear wheel drive cars and nothing into high fuel efficiency platforms.
If we start another war or have some other such historic event that causes gas prices to skyrocket, they'll be in a very bad place as people sell off those cars and abandon the brand for Prius and such.
They learned nothing from the 70's.

Meanwhile, I am totally enjoying my Challenger SRT. :B

I sometimes worry about that as well. But Chrysler has a very poor history of selling fuel efficient cars, and a very successful history of selling lower MPG, higher profit trucks.

For their sake, I hope that Sergio knows what he is doing.

Long live the HP wars! The Demon (and upcoming Trackhawk) are AWESOME!

The Challenger is still the best looking retro muscle car.

Yes but how much can it tow?

The people that can afford to buy these cars are not worried about the price of fuel. and the Demon is not a to and from work car.
I`de like to see them make a track version of these cars to go after some SCCA races!

Here here! Waiting for a "steal" on a Hellcat! Wife's srt is getting old now.
I don't care if gas is $8'a gal. That will be cheaper than the rubber I leave on the road!
