A good-looking car with a DDG interior.

They just don't make any car like that today, IMO, with the style and "pizzaz" that that Chrysler has. I would rather have that car in my driveway than any car available today !!

@jkuvakas What a statement it makes! The interior design was the inspiration for that of the first Dodge Charger I suppose.

For sure, that '61 is gorgeous and fast!     ...but so is this '25.   Actually, it's 0-60 time is almost 3 times as fast and of course it's much safer.  Marketing for these, however, was totally botched; the aim  was right, but the target moved.   I'm now seeing some advertised for less than $40K      If only they produced a convertible!   🙄 😯 

....and yes, HEMI versions are coming.  Not sure what my point to all of this is.... except to note that $40K is not bad but $80K, in 2025, is ridiculous.   A few years ago, $80K made sense - demand was strong and choices were minimal.

That thing is BEAUTIFUL Chris!! Good grief, that paint!! Looks like you could take a bite out of the two foot thick candy coating - awesome; and yes sir - a convert would be incredible!

I was by 2 CDJR dealers in the upstate of SC this week and had some nice discussions about the Charger.   They are not selling as EV's.  They have 24 models that they did not receive until Feb 25, and these are the ones going for that $40k price.  The 25's are upwards of 60K.  This is a great looking car in pictures and in person, but I believe everyone is waiting on the gas versions to come along.  Then it will be a great car.  Sorry to all the EV fans, but I will never own an electric vehicle, I don't care how fast they are.  A road car or sports car should have the real roar coming from the tail, like my Challenger when I hit the gas you know I am coming.
