Dodge is on its game...2012 SRT8 Charger

Does anyone else think 45-50k too much for a car? In 1970 I purchased a Duster 340 for $3100 with disc brakes and buckets ,consol and 3:91. This market was aimed at young guys with limited money. Todays market is aimed at the highend earners for sure few family guys I know are in this market. Sorry auto companys need to get cars into 25-30k market and sorry I don't like the looks of it even if I could afford it. Dollar for dollar mustang is doing the job. For 30k you can get 5.0 mustang fastback brimbo brakes upgraded wheels and tires cloth interior,air,posi w/gears. This is todays roadrunner and 340 duster. Lots cheaper hotrod parts than for charger to boot. Just my $.02

The R/T Charger Starts at 30,000.
The R/T Challenger is starts at 29,000.
And both in the Charger and Challenger offer more than the Mustang has to offer luxury wise. They both have a great set of brakes like the mustang and posi is just about standard now-a-days..Both are cloth interior and both have upgraded wheels just like the mustang.
It is pricey yes, but in the SRT8 compared to a 340 duster back in the day, you just get so much more. What were the options on the 340 duster? A/C, Heater, Disk brakes, bucket seats, optional FM radio? The charger has options like Heated/cooled cup holders, 8.4" touch screen radio, voice command, Heated/cooled seats, Dual zone climate control, Power seats, power windows, Blind spot monitoring...there are so many things to list. This is what sells. It will probably sell better than the 5.0 for 2011-2012.
